Shibuya is a commercial and entertainment district near JR Shibuya station, standing alongside Shinjuku and Ikebukuro as one of Tokyo's three major sub-centers and one of the city's bustling neighborhoods. Every time the traffic light turns green, the massive crosswalk in front of JR Shibuya station is engulfed by waves of pedestrians, while giant billboards and digital screens around reflect the energy of this busy metropolis. Shibuya is the birthplace of youth culture. In this 24-hour sleepless district, various trendy fashion shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment centers gather, and street band performances can often be seen. Major department stores are also vibrant with the presence of young people. In Shibuya, even the outfits of passersby are stylish enough, with many fashion magazines like "ViVi" and "Mina" sourcing their street snaps from here. Thanks to the prevalence of trend culture, the area is filled with fashionable men and women, and avant-garde or even eccentric outfits are not uncommon. Shopping route recommendations When shopping in Shibuya, it's recommended to start from the bustling Shibuya crossing, pass through the busy pedestrian zone Center Street and Spain Slope, and take a break at the spacious Yoyogi Park when tired. This route allows you to experience Shibuya's typical youthful atmosphere. Statue of Hachiko When you exit from the Hachiko exit of Shibuya station, you will see the statue of Hachiko. The story of Hachiko, who kept waiting for his deceased owner in front of JR Shibuya station, is well-known throughout Japan. Today, the area in front of this statue is one of Tokyo's popular meeting spots. Why not take a photo with Hachiko?

Though inconspicuous, the Spanish slope exudes a trendy vibe with its unique shops on both sides. Here you'll find bakeries and restaurants using natural ingredients, as well as delicious coffee and wine that attract many foreign visitors. Walking up the steps through this shortcut leads to Parco, another clothing department store. Yoyogi park Continue north and you'll reach Yoyogi Park.

Ghibli Museum

Ghibli Museum

5.8
4.6/5
1.5k reviews

Ghibli Museum is an animation museum personally designed by Hayao Miyazaki. Tucked away in Inokashira Park in Mitaka, Tokyo, the ivy-covered building looks like it was plucked from a European fairy tale, and the "forest" in its name comes from the wooded environment that surrounds it. The museum invites visitors to "Let's get lost together." There is no fixed route inside; the soaring central hall features spiraling staircases, aerial walkways, and balconies that crisscross each other, making the labyrinth-like structure an attraction in itself. A fluffy Totoro sits in the entrance ticket booth, though its only job is to "greet guests." The permanent exhibition "Where a Film is Born" recreates a studio workspace: small rooms are piled with old books, glass marbles, and various beloved trinkets; the walls are covered with illustrations and sketches; and model airplanes and pterosaurs hang from the ceiling, as if the next film is about to be written right there; the "Room Where Animation is Born" uses a large rotating device to animate rows of 3D models; as the lights flicker, the still images "come to life," making the principles of animation instantly intuitive. The basement screening room, "Saturn Theater," plays original Ghibli short films created exclusively for this cinema—you won't see them anywhere else—and each visitor is limited to one screening; the Catbus room on the second floor is open only to children, who can crawl into its plush belly and roll around; the "Tri-Hawks" reading room is filled with picture books and children's stories, while the special exhibition room changes its theme periodically. You can take photos once you step outside. Climb the spiral staircase next to the Catbus room to reach the rooftop garden, where a robot soldier from "Castle in the Sky" stands approx. 5m tall amidst the greenery, next to a stone tablet inscribed with Laputa script; head down to the courtyard, where the hand-pump well in the gazebo can actually draw water, and on the washbasin covered in colorful tiles, the black cat from "Kiki's Delivery Service" has been transformed into a brass faucet, and the entire building is like a treasure hunt hidden in the details. After the whole tour, it feels less like visiting a museum and more like briefly living inside a Hayao Miyazaki animation.

Sensō-ji

5k reviews

Sensō-ji is a temple with a long history and great popularity in Tokyo, dedicated to the sacred Kannon, and serves as the center of faith and culture in the Asakusa area. It was first built in the 7th century and was rebuilt many times after repeated fires. Legend has it that two fishermen caught a small golden statue of Kannon while fishing at sea, and the temple was built to enshrine it. The symbol of Sensō-ji is the Kaminarimon Gate at the entrance, flanked by the wind god and thunder god who guard the temple. A giant red lantern bearing the characters for "Kaminarimon" hangs on the gate, creating a truly impressive sight. Passing through Kaminarimon Gate leads to Nakamise Shopping Street, which stretches toward the temple plaza. The rows of shops are filled with various small items full of Japanese charm, such as traditional fans and paper trinkets. This is one of Tokyo's lively shopping streets, and many visitors browse and pick out exquisite crafts here. After passing through Nakamise, you arrive at Hozomon Gate. Beyond it lies a roughly hundred-meter stone-paved path leading to the main hall where the Kannon statue is enshrined. In the plaza stands a large incense burner, and many people fan the smoke onto themselves for good health. The main hall's roof is distinctive, with a pronounced slope and a notably high ridge, giving it a striking and well-defined structure. On the east side, Nitenmon Gate is an ancient vermilion-lacquered gate and serves as another entrance to the temple grounds. In addition, there are many buildings and historical sites within Sensō-ji that are worth taking the time to appreciate.

I went on Saturday, and it was quite crowded. Once inside, you had to scan a QR code to get a photo opportunity with the characters, and that was only available for the afternoon. The boat parade pass was also only available for single people. It's an indoor amusement park, so there aren't many attractions. There are shows to watch, and you can eat various character-themed foods, which are very cute. There are also shops, Ichiban Kuji (a type of prize), claw machines, gashapon (capsule toys), etc.

This massive attraction is absolutely worth a visit, especially for Harry Potter fans, and even casual viewers will enjoy it. Strolling through the filming locations and seeing the actual sets, props, costumes, and special effects is truly captivating. I spent almost the entire day there. There are cafes where you can eat and relax, and you can also buy some great souvenirs before leaving. Definitely worth the trip!

Booking through Trip.com and with Trip coins, cheapest deal around. Nice to have an open viewing platform. Advantage, excellent open air experience. Down side. If the weather is like today on Tokyo (rain), all you will do is get wet watching the clouds. Even though the lower deck is enclosed, rain pub the glass will spoil. Choose Your day carefully.

Although it's called a dome stadium, it's just a roof, so rain can get in and it's probably hot in the summer and cold in the winter. This is the only home stadium in Japan where you can hear organ music. The stadium food is probably the best in Japan. I recommend you try the pizza at L's Craft.

I'd heard it was crowded before, thinking it wouldn't be too bad, but I went on a Wednesday, and it was incredibly packed! The big rides had queues of 30 minutes to an hour, almost as long as Disneyland. The rides themselves were quite fun, but unfortunately, the instant noodle rafting was under maintenance that day. From the moment the park opened in the morning to taking the cable car and then entering the park, there were queues everywhere – it was exhausting. If you want to come, choose a different time of year, like outside of summer, as there are just too many students.

Visiting the **Ghibli Museum** was a truly magical experience. It showcases the artistry behind animation, highlighting how Ghibli, a pioneer in the field, created beautiful films without modern computers. Seeing the meticulous process of hand-drawing and painting each frame was awe-inspiring.The museum's architecture and interior perfectly capture the whimsical and mysterious essence of the Ghibli world. While photography isn't allowed, this enhances the experience, urging fans to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the exhibits.Each entry ticket resembles a film strip from the animations, making it a beautiful keepsake of the visit. It’s no surprise that the Ghibli Museum remains a favorite among locals and tourists, with tickets often being hard to come by. Overall, my visit was unforgettable and a must-see for any Ghibli fan!
