I'd recommend fried Udon/Soba noodles with beef, which is widely available) Teriyaki (just try something with Teriyaki in Tokyo. Think rice triangles filled with deliciousness) Onigiri (the ultimate Japanese fast-food. Sashimi (again, you'd likely have this with your sushi, but not that sashimi and sushi are not the same thing) Sweet potato/yam tempura is my favourite) Tempura (I'd assume you'd have some with your sushi, but just make sure you dive in. With 3 days, eating would be a big part of my Tour de Tokyo.
You also might find that a lot of your Tokyo photos will be food related because Tokyo is downright delicious. Just because a meal is inexpensive does not mean it isn’t worth eating. By the way, It's perfectly acceptable to have a cheap lunch of ramen in a packed ramen hut and not spend all the Yen in your pocket on something more fancy. When I’m travelling, I specifically seek out the restaurants that aren’t filled with tourists because the rule of thumb that “locals know best” if often spot on. Look for deals and pop into places where you see a lot of locals grabbing their lunch or dinner. When it comes to Japanese street food, everything is kept to a very high standard in terms of cleanliness and so forth. One thing to note-don't be scared about trying street food. I eat a lot, so these are the foods that I would try to at least make sure that I tried during you’re relatively short trip to Tokyo. Roppongi, Odaiba, and Ueno are also very intriguing, but your best bet on a short leash would be Ginza or Shinjuku, most likely. Shibuya and the area near Tokyo Station are also both perfectly suitable areas from which to tackle the city. When I last visited Tokyo, I stayed in Asakusa and absolutely loved it, so that's a good option if you're not interested in being in a super touristy neighbourhood. Both neighbourhoods are conveniently located with plenty of restaurants and local culture. Personally if you’ve just got a short stint in the city, I’d recommend either Ginza or Shinjuku. Typically, it'll be nice, but it'll be compact.Īlright, so now for the question: where to stay in Tokyo? Let me give you my thoughts on that matter. I'd also note that you're not going to have a large room. Real estate is at a premium in Tokyo, not surprisingly. Very basic hotels start around 100-125 USD, but anything decent is going to cost you 175-200 and up.ĭon't be surprised if a nice hotel puts you into the three or four hundreds (or even higher). One thing to note is that accommodation in Tokyo can be quite expensive, which makes sense when you consider the size of the population of Tokyo. If you’ve got limited time in Tokyo, then where you stay is going to be hugely important. That being said, my opinions are fully my own. That means, simply, that I may get commissions from some of my recommendations. NOTE: This post may contain some affiliate links. If you do plan your visit carefully, you’ll be able to accomplish a hell of a lot in 72 hours, and I’ll try to help you do that.
Whatever you’re looking for in Tokyo, you’ll find it. Also, keep in the mind that Tokyo prefecture contains about 15 million people, and the Greater Tokyo Area has nearly 40 million, so this city is a giant among giants.įun fact - Tokyo is actually the largest urban economy on the planet when you’re looking at GDP, and that doesn’t surprise me too much, though I would have thought New York may have given it a run for its money. I think you can argue that Tokyo doesn’t quite have the ancient cultural cache of a city like Kyoto, but there’s no question it’s the political and economic engine of the country. Tokyo is the de facto capital of Japan, and by far the most populous prefecture. In many ways, this is the city that needs no introduction. As I always like to jokingly say, memories and photos don’t get tired. That thing said, at the end of the day (or third day), it'll be worth it. Your 3 days in Tokyo are going to be absolutely incredible, but they're also going to be exhausting. I can't tell you the amount of emails I've received over the years about a Tokyo itinerary or people asking, "Chris, how many days in Tokyo?" I think this is largely because I used to live in Korea, and visited Japan several times.įirstly, let me just warn you that these are going to be am-packed days.
This post didn't materialize out of nowhere. Tokyo is a city well worth exploring, but it's also a city where it's worth your time to formulate a game plan, or at least have a general idea.
