TOKYO GUIDE 2024 – Japan is a dream destination of many and here’s a helpful guide on what to see and do in Tokyo.

Japan’s capital and the world’s most populous metropolis is Tokyo. This is one of the 47 prefectures in Japan that has 23 central city wards and multiple cities, towns and villages. Japan is a big country and in exploring this country, you must take it one step at a time and you may start in Tokyo.

One is for sure though, you will never run out of things to do, sights to see, and foods to eat.

Here’s a sample itinerary from Klook for five days and four nights:

DAY 1

Explore the City! Visit the Shimokitazawa, the “Curry District”, where you can see several vintage shops, craft cafes, bakeries, live houses, galleries, bookstores, and izakaya bars. If you want something more fun, Harajuku is the place for you. This is the same place where Yoyogi Park is located, the largest city park in this area.
