Attractions

There is no shortage of things to do in Tokyo. You could easily spend a lifetime visiting the narrow backstreets, temples and shops that abound in the city. Thanks to Tokyo’s excellent rail and subway system, they can be easily reached by public transport.

Most of the attractions listed here are good value and we even have a list of free things to do in Tokyo. Kids are not forgotten either with a range of amusement parks and things to do for children. Tokyo might be described as concrete jungle, but there are plenty of parks and gardens in the metropolis worth checking out.
