The 28 best places to propose in Tokyo

Absolutely worth the extra ticket! The Sky Deck gives a breathtaking open-air view of Tokyo — you can feel the breeze and see the city lights. It’s especially beautiful around sunset or at night when the skyline glows. The staff are friendly and help keep the experience smooth and safe. You can see landmarks like Roppongi Hills, Rainbow Bridge, and even Mount Fuji on a clear day. It’s peaceful, romantic, and unforgettable — definitely one of the best viewpoints in Tokyo.

My wife booked us in for a pickleball game UNDER TOKYO TOWER! I didn’t know they did this… it was a great experience! On the roof-top of the building directly beneath the tower. There were two courts and an attendant managing thins. She provided our rackets and balls + took some photos at then end. We had the kids with us so they were helping referee our games. There were some photo spots on the room and vending machines, so they kept busy for the hour… There was also a bar / restaurant up on the roof but unfortunetly it was not open. Would have been nice to be able to head there for a biru after the match! Next time…. All in all it was a great experience, staff were helpful and it was a very cool day seeing a unique side of a historic landmark of the city. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻

Tokyo Tower is an iconic symbol of the city, standing at 333 meters tall. Its design is inspired by the Eiffel Tower, featuring a striking red and white color scheme. Visitors can access observation decks for breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo, including sights like Mount Fuji on clear days. The tower also houses a variety of shops, restaurants, and an aquarium, making it a versatile destination. The surrounding park is lovely for leisurely strolls. Overall, Tokyo Tower offers a unique blend of history, culture, and stunning views, making it a must-visit for tourists.

Visiting Tokyo Tower at night was an incredible experience. The tower’s warm orange glow against the evening sky is truly stunning. The observation deck offers breathtaking panoramic views of Tokyo’s city lights. The place is clean, well-maintained, and easy to access. Highly recommended for anyone exploring Tokyo! 🗼

We were here last night and the experience was exceptional, a once in a lifetime must see wonder. As Japan, in general bring in the ring of fire and Tokyo in particular this structural icon of Tokyo with stood earthquakes. The top deck experience for me spiced up the experience. As it gave a different perspective being 252 meters above, with its cool IG picturesque effect.

Absolutely stunning views of Tokyo, especially at sunset! We paid for the upper floor, and it's well worth the extra cost and should be booked in advance. The main floor is a little crowded, and features a cramped shop and various brand-related events. This whole area becomes pitch black at night, with glass or glow-in-the-dark floor areas, and is overall a great way to experience the area. However, if you have a time-slot for the additional floor you can line up at another elevator (note your time STARTS at the time listed, not "must arrive by" as the email says!) to go higher. This includes a brief promotional video, a professional photo (printed on a small promotional leaflet as you leave), a small drink, but most importantly a mirror-filled observation deck. From this deck you can see miles and miles in all directions, with the city's drastic appearance change during sunset providing a unique perspective. Whilst it can be quite crowded, people typically move on after taking their selfies so you can stare in peace. It's even possible to see mt fuji sometimes! Upon exiting there's a strange small mall at the base, selling various mementos and snacks, with the exit hidden away and requiring careful sign following.

Amazing view! I visited on a Saturday night after dinner, walking from Roppongi Station and taking photos of the tower from several different angles. It’s beautifully lit up at night, and if there’s fog, it adds an extra layer of magic for those chasing the perfect shot. There was no queue late at night for the observation deck—perhaps because of the rain or simply the late hour. Around the area, you’ll find a few food trucks, a small Family Mart, and souvenir shops on the second floor. Take a stroll before buying anything, as there are plenty of interesting items to choose from. For photos, make sure to walk around the tower—each angle offers a unique perspective. Personally, I think nighttime is the best time to visit for stunning shots.

If you’re visiting Tokyo, I definitely recommend checking out Tokyo Skytree honestly, it’s way more impressive than Tokyo Tower! It’s much taller, and the view you get from the top is absolutely amazing. You can see the entire city spread out beneath you, and it’s such a cool experience. Personally, I think nighttime is the best time to go. The city lights look incredible, and it’s not as crowded as during sunset or daytime. Sunset can get super packed it’s hard to even find a good spot to look out! During the day there are usually more families and kids around, so it can feel a bit busier. If you go, make sure to visit both observation floors they’re both worth it! And if you happen to go during the day, check out one of the fancy restaurants up there. Just remember, they have a dress code no running shoes or sporty clothes. Dress up a little, like you’re going out on a nice date! Overall, Skytree is a fun and unforgettable experience, especially if you love great views and city lights. 🌃

A must visit landmark in Tokyo! Buying tickets at the self service machines was quick and easy, and the elevator ride up to the observation deck took only seconds. The Tokyo Skytree has two observation levels: the Tembo Deck (350m) and the Tembo Galleria (450m). From the Tembo Deck, you get a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of Tokyo. On clear days, you can even spot Mt. Fuji! Unfortunately, it was rainy and windy during my visit, and I could actually feel the tower swaying a bit, quite an experience! Still, the rainy view of Tokyo, with its neat streets and dense rooftops, had a special charm. The Tembo Galleria features a glass floor section, standing on it and looking down at the tiny buildings below was both thrilling and unforgettable. After coming down, I visited the souvenir shop, as expected, Japan’s packaging design is beautiful and tempting. Hard not to buy something! Right next to the Skytree is Tokyo Solamachi, a large shopping complex with the Sumida Aquarium, restaurants, ice cream shops, Pokémon Center, Kirby Café, and even a children’s play area. Lots to see, eat, and shop, you could easily spend the whole day here!

Tokyo Skytree, Japan’s tallest building at 634 meters, is truly impressive. You can go up to 450 meters with a super-fast elevator, and the view from the top is stunning — on a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji. There’s also a glass floor area, which could be fun, but with hundreds of people crowded around, you can barely enjoy it. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t really feel worth the long wait — over an hour in line to go up, and almost 40 minutes to get down. Going up was fairly organized, but coming down was total chaos. If I had known in advance how long the waiting would be, I wouldn’t have gone in at all. Also, don’t bother buying your ticket online — those with on-site tickets get in faster because online tickets must be exchanged for paper ones first, which makes no sense.

Very disappointing. To start, they give people the opportunity to pre purchase tickets for a certain time and recommend on their website that you do so. To us it didn’t give any advantage as people who didn’t have pre purchased tickets just waltzed in and bought them. Further to this, the amount of tickets sold per time slot is far too high leaving you to queue for 30-45 minutes on the ground floor alone just to get admitted. Secondly, once you’re admitted after (45 minutes) you are packed into an elevator like sardines to a point it’s almost uncomfortable and unhygienic. We understand trying to get people up as fast as possible but this comes back to the underlying issue of selling too many tickets for each time slot. Once you make it to the deck (350m) you’re are greeted by a view of the backs of people’s heads. There isn’t a lot of opportunity to see the attraction you pay to see because of the sheer number of people inside. You may get fleeting glimpses but you have to really fight for a spot at the front to get a decent look at the view. After this we decided to go up to the gallery (450m) which we purchased with our ticket. And guess what… more queues. The queue to go up to the gallery alone took another 15 minutes and once we were up there it was the same story. Over crowded. And then we get to the worst part… to get out you have to stand in a queue yup that’s right, another queue. To get back from the gallery to the deck we waited 25 minutes and then once we were on the deck we queued another 25 minutes to take the elevator down to the bottom. Overall yes… the attraction is cool however the experience is terrible. Once we got to the top the first thing we wanted to do was leave as there was an unpleasant number of people around. If you plan to go here, go during the day. If you enjoy waiting in lines this is the place for you!

I prepurchase tickets to guarantee being able to enter in time for sunset. I would highly recommend doing that. It was pretty crowded but we got a space next to the window and it was well worth the effort. It was beautiful with Mt Fuji being the star. City is so pretty and night.

Such a great place to visit and pay to enter the tallest area. We visited early afternoon and the wait time was only 15 minutes. The staff were friendly, great personality, and well organized. Each section was great, not too crowded. I was able to see Mt. Fuji so that made me excited. Currently there's a Toy Story theme, so great exhibits to see. Many photo ops available. Their souvenir shop was good and had a variety of items. Honestly you should visit one paid observatory and Tokyo Skytree I recommend, plus Asakusa had many sightseeing opportunities. There's a mall connected too, but did have a chance to visit. There's a metro line near there too.

We visited Tokyo Skytree around 5 PM. The line moved quite fast, which was nice, but once inside it was extremely crowded. It was difficult to fully enjoy the beautiful view or take pictures without waiting for people to move. The upper deck, though higher and promising a better view, was even busier. At one point, we couldn’t move at all, as the queue to go down took up more than half of the space on that floor. Overall, it felt a bit overwhelming despite the stunning views and beautiful tower. Also highly recommend to buy tickets in advance !!

Visiting Shinjuku Gyoen Park was an absolute delight! Right in the heart of Tokyo, this park feels like a peaceful escape from the busy city. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with a perfect mix of traditional Japanese design, French elegance, and English landscapes, offering something unique at every turn. Walking through the park was incredibly relaxing – from the tranquil ponds and tea houses to the wide open lawns and colorful seasonal flowers. Each season brings its own charm, whether it’s the cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, vibrant autumn leaves, or the calm beauty of winter. The park is very clean, spacious, and easy to explore, making it ideal for a quiet stroll, a picnic, or just enjoying nature. It’s also a wonderful spot for photography, with so many breathtaking views. Shinjuku Gyoen is truly a hidden oasis in Tokyo – serene, beautiful, and inspiring. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

Wonderful, peaceful gardens to visit both for tourists and locals! The ponds, statuary, trees, and flowers make you feel you are in a faraway paradise. There is a convenient Information Center near the entrance, and many clean restrooms. Fees are very reasonable including 50% discount for Senior Citizens and disabilities and students. Beautiful backdrops for photo opportunities.

A beautiful and peaceful escape in the middle of Tokyo. Shinjuku Gyoen is incredibly clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The park has lovely Japanese gardens, open lawns, and a stunning greenhouse. Perfect for relaxing walks, picnics, and photography. I went during ___ (spring/autumn/etc.), and the scenery was breathtaking — especially the cherry blossoms! Very easy to access from Shinjuku-Gyoenmae Station. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy nature in the city.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is truly an oasis amid the bustle of Shinjuku. We visited on a lightly drizzling day and spent about an hour exploring the grounds. Although we managed to see most of the main areas in that time, we easily could have spent another hour or two strolling through the beautifully maintained landscapes. The gardens feature a variety of scenic areas, along with several pleasant cafés and refreshment spots, making it a relaxing place to pause and enjoy the surroundings. The facilities and amenities were exceptionally clean and well maintained, consistent with Japan’s high standards. Admission was 500 yen per adult, and the gardens are open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Overall, Shinjuku Gyoen offers a peaceful retreat from the city and is well worth a visit for anyone spending time in Tokyo.

This beautiful garden is right in the middle of the busy Shinjuku area. Entry cost is five hundred yen and can be accessed via the ic card. It is a combination of landscaped gardens, beautiful ponds, Japanese traditional garden and even a forest. You can spend a lot of time here exploring. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing place to visit and chill, especially in autumn when the weather is sub 20 degrees. Beautifully crafted landscaping and really appreciated the breeze and silence. Always wanted to see the pavilion featured in Garden of Words and it certainly didn't disappoint! Just note they're very strict on the closing time and will go around to chase people out so don't overstay your welcome!

Idilic, very peaceful and spotless clean. I usually don’t like going to Starbucks when outside of the US, prefer to try local coffee shops, but in Japan it is different. I liked Starbucks in the park very much. It is cozy and they serve tasty pastry.

Had a great time at Tokyo DisneySea! Got there around 8:50AM and managed to get in pretty quickly when the park opened at 9AM. Definitely recommend getting your tickets ahead of time and having the Disney Resort app on your phone for access to maps and wait times. Priority passes can only be purchased after your ticket has been scanned, which is why so many people show up early. These passes go fast, so check for some of the popular rides soon after getting into the park to save yourself some long wait times. If you want to go to both parks, split it up between two days if possible. Also know that there is a good distance between the entrances so taking the monorail is a must if you have to go to both in one day. Tickets to ride the monorail do cost money, so I recommend having cash on hand. I didn't have a Suica card, but that would likely work, too. Of the two parks, DisneySea was my favorite. There are so many details to keep an eye out for. It was absolutely gorgeous, rides were great, and I would love to go again.

The wait-time to enter wasn’t bad at all. However, I do recommend arriving when they open to allow time to enter and get the fast passes. I arrived around 10am and all the fast passes were taken. Lines were long for the rides and restaurants as usual, but I was impressed by the rides, detail, food, etc. I had a much better experience in Tokyo than the other locations. It’s so much cleaner with such friendly staff. I recommend it!

Absolutely loved our day at Tokyo DisneySea! The park is stunning — every detail feels magical and unique. The attractions are so creative, and the shows were amazing. Even the food was surprisingly good for a theme park! The place is super clean and well organized, and the staff are always so friendly and polite. Definitely one of the best Disney parks I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend visiting at least once in your life!

Disney is Disney! Line up was nuts! More than an hour at the very least on the more famous rides. We obviously didn’t pay 20$ to skip because we think it’s not worth it to pay $20 per person with 11 people in the family! Details on everything is perfect though! They kept the high standards and good quality from the buildings, from the tiniest detail to largest and also the staff! They were friendly and respectful to guests! The rides were good! Fireworks. Meh! If you’ve been to Disneyland or world, the fireworks here is probably like 1/4 of what the other parks have. Not worth the stay and stop to watch fireworks. I’d rather just continue with the rides and check out the stores.

Amazing time at Disney sea, would definitely come again only problem is the wait times which usually take about more than two hours, but if you get lucky, you could buy the fast pass which runs about $20 or less. Food here is amazing. very affordable. Even the toys and hats that’s what she wants. Tell her we’re not are very affordable.

More grown up than Disneyland. The rides are bigger, more bold. The queues are equally as long as Disneyland. Be smart and pay for the priority access passes. Book these as soon as you enter the park, and then set an alarm for 60mins later. My advice is to join the smallest queue you can find and do something you wouldn't normally do. We had such a great day !! And I feel like we've only seen half the park.

It’s really magical,beautiful place wonderful experience on rides.must visit rides “Tower of terror”, ”indiana johns adventure” , raging sprit 360degree loop , Disney sea electric railway , Nemo and friends searider, aquatopia,these are most visited rides. I went on halloween and there was a show on Halloween that was great. but the fire works were okey okey not amazing. Please buy tickets in advance also please plan for either Disneysea or Disneyland in a day.

One of the most famous sakura viewing place in Tokyo. Good: easy to get, amazing lighting for night Sakura view 5-8pm; very center, many things to do nearby Bad: too crowded, and the Sakura trees were cut in 2024, making it not that amazing any more. Also, there are many blocks so you can’t see the river well

Though I visited during the non-cherry blossom season, the peace and tranquility of this place has my heart. I can only imagine how this place transforms during the Sakura season. A quiet lane running parallel to the lake is ideal for a leisurely walk. The near by lanes and by-lanes (leading upto Meguro station) too offer beautiful views of the city, lake and blossoms.

One of the better places to view cherry blossom 🌸 in japan. Really feel like the whole place flooded with pinkish really lucky for residents staying near this area is full of life

🌸 Meguro River Cherry Blossoms Festival - A Magical Spring Experience 🌸 Visiting the Meguro River during cherry blossom season is an absolute must! The stunning sakura trees lining the river create a breathtaking pink tunnel, especially when illuminated at night. The reflections on the water add an ethereal charm, making it a dreamlike spot for photos. The festival vibes are fantastic, with food stalls offering delicious snacks and drinks like sakura-themed cocktails and treats. It can get crowded, but the atmosphere is lively and joyful, with everyone soaking in the beauty of spring. Pro tip: Arrive early in the evening for a good spot to enjoy the lights and blossoms. Wear comfortable shoes and take your time strolling along the river—each view is better than the last! Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Tokyo in spring. Truly a magical experience that showcases Japan’s love for nature and beauty. 🌸✨ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The nakameguro side is quite crowded, so better to walk away from there. It gets less crowded as you walk, and its got lots of cherry blossoms. Lots of cafes and small shops along the walkways too.

You can't visit Japan without taking a walking tour and seeing the sights, this includes the Meguro River. We visited in the off season, so no cherry blossoms for us however beautiful nonetheless.

This was taken 2 days ago and it has bloomed beautifully! 🌸 It was mega crowded especially from nakameguro station crossing over to the river side and the entire stretch on both sides along the river was super crowded as you can see from my photos. After crossing to the river from nakameguro station, check out the viewsfrom the small building next to the river. Go to level 2 for a nice and quiet photo taking spot! 🌸🩷 There are washrooms there too. God's creation is so beautiful✨️🙌🏻 A few stalls along the river sold pinkish cocktail looking drinks with strawberries✨️🌸🍓

Odaiba Marine Park is a serene waterfront area in Tokyo, offering stunning views of the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay. The park features a sandy beach, walking paths, and lush greenery, making it a perfect spot for picnics and relaxation. Visitors can enjoy various activities, including beach volleyball and cycling. The nearby shopping and entertainment options add to the appeal. At sunset, the park transforms into a picturesque setting, ideal for photography. Overall, Odaiba Marine Park is a great escape from the city's hustle and bustle, combining natural beauty with urban charm.

Super clean and pristine beach with a great view of the harbor bridge! You can almost imagine Godzilla emerging and making it's way towards downtown Tokyo! The beach has a relaxing vibe about it, with cafes serving up snacks and drinks and a good time.

A beautiful park by the waterfront. Very clean with great views of the city. We even saw some jumping fish which I believe are called Bora (Mullet). Would definitely recommend a walk through this area.

Used to be Great, now its good to ok. very chill and pleasant please to visit in general. Used to be a big tourist attraction no less popular, still a lot of shops, food, still worth a half day to visit. Recommend :I think Gov or business to invest a little more here would make a huge improvement, Get the beach water more clean. Move one of the teamlab here, would be excellent.

Should visit at night , you can walk along the coast line with some magnificent skyline and boat restaurant . Cool breeze and it is a good way to relax your mind and body .. Amazing as the other side is the rowdy street .

What a beautiful place. 🥰😊 This place is nice to hung up and peaceful surroundings I love this place.! You can also reach the Statue Of Liberty, Gundam, Divercity, and Sega arcade. For the parking is not free you have to pay for it.

It does give a beach vibe in the middle of Tokyo however the water is brown and is not inviting. There is no shade at all so it's not comfortable to stay for long. I wouldn't recommend here for a swim.

Convenient location, just a short walking distance from the station, the zoo, and plenty of restaurants & shops. It’s also spacious, making it a great spot for running or jogging. While it’s especially popular during cherry blossom season, the park is just as enjoyable in the summer, with its wide greenery and relaxing atmosphere. That said, I don’t really enjoy the presence of a few loiterers in certain areas, which can make the park feel a bit less comfortable at times. Still, overall it remains a pleasant place to spend time, whether for a walk, some light exercise, or simply to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

Beautiful and peaceful place in the heart of Tokyo! Ueno Park is a must-visit — full of nature, culture, and history. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, especially during cherry blossom season. There are museums, temples, and even a zoo all within the park. Easy to reach from Ueno Station, and there’s always something interesting happening. A great spot to enjoy fresh air and experience Tokyo’s traditional side.

Ueno Park is a huge public space that contains museums, temples, the Shinobazu pond, and the Ueno Zoo. You can easily stay here the whole day, just walking around and enjoying the greenery, architecture, and just observing the whole world go by. It is especially lovely in autumn, where the weather is just perfect. You can also go boating here. It is reachable via the JR Ueno station.

Euno Park is huge and completely free to enter, making it a perfect spot to spend a day outdoors. The park looks different in every season, and each view is absolutely mind-blowing. It features a zoo and a museum, adding to the variety of things to do. One of the highlights is the large lake—if you venture inside, you can enjoy a boat ride with spectacular views. There’s also a shrine where you can offer a prayer, adding a peaceful touch to the visit. Euno Park is most famous for its cherry blossom festival, where thousands of blooming trees, lights, music, and delicious food create an unforgettable vibe. It’s truly a must-visit place. Even if you just sit by the lake and watch the water, it’s a perfect way to enjoy your me-time.

Ueno Park is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Tokyo! It’s a perfect mix of nature, culture, and history! There’s always something to enjoy — locals relaxing, families picnicking, and street performers adding to the lively atmosphere. The park is also beautifully maintained and easily accessible by train. If you visit Tokyo, Ueno Park is a must-see, especially during sakura season — it truly captures the heart of Japan.

A beautiful and cultural escape in Tokyo! Ueno Park is perfect for a relaxing stroll while enjoying nature, museums, and historic landmarks. The cherry blossoms in spring are breathtaking, and there’s plenty to see all year round, including ponds, temples, and street performances. Great for families, couples, or solo visitors who want a mix of culture and greenery. Don’t forget to visit the Ueno Zoo and nearby museums for a full experience!

This is out of all the prettiest park if ever visited here in Japan. You can do everything there whether that might be relaxing, eating, strolling around, visiting a museum or a show or much more. On my way through the park I also encountered several street artists that played instruments or did gymnastics. It was so lovely.🤩 Great place to calm down in this busy city

Green, expansive, gorgeous. There are so many words that could describe Yoyogi Park but those are my top three. I loved the greenery, art, wildlife, and the First Flight Monument. Easy to get to, easy to navigate. Even though we walked around for a few hours, there was still more to see. Don’t miss it! Photography by Jason Taylor (Except for the pictures I took)

A newfound favorite park! 🌿 It’s very clean and well-maintained, making it such a pleasant place to explore. I visited in winter (January) and loved that it wasn’t crowded. Just be sure to dress warmly so you can fully enjoy walking around. There are food stalls around, but since Shibuya is within walking distance, you’ll have plenty of dining options nearby. Definitely a must-visit spot in Tokyo!

Visiting at night was a highlight—open paths, soft lighting, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city noise. Practical win: there are plenty of bathrooms and vending machines throughout the park, which makes it easy to stay longer without planning. Perfect for an evening stroll, light snacks, and unwinding.

Beautiful gem found right around the corner from Harajuku station. Conveniently located & within walking distance of Takeishita street shopping area. I went on a Sunday and it was busy but not crowded. The park is filled with gorgeous big lush trees, giving off such a peaceful vibe. I loved seeing the shrine and all the gates. This is a great place to come if you're looking to get a break from the hustle and bustle, to relax or have a little lunch. At the Yoyogi park main stage you'll find alot of events happening. Filled with live performances to tons of food tents. Highly recommends to stop by and take it all in.

Beautiful and very lovely, at least today (26th October), with many food stalls and musicians playing. If you continue and walk more to the centre of the park, it’s much quieter (it was also the end of the day, so it might me more crowded on the morning or early afternoon). Too bad there’s a lot of construction going on (hence the 4 stars), as I was hoping to come here and relax, to escape from the Shibuya madness!…

This park does not have a lot to offer but this is one good place to spend some time off, peaceful "me time" and have picnics with your loved ones. This is just a 5 minute walk from the Meiji Shrine. By the time I visited, Roses are in bloom making the park more interesting to visit.

It is the Central Park of Tokyo , a quiet reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city - at the door steps of Harajuku. It is not to be missed - autumn and spring are prefect weather to just throw a mat and enjoy

A Journey Above the Clouds Climbing Mount Fuji (3,776m) is more than a hike — it’s a test of will and wonder. From the 5th Station, the trail starts easy with cool air and ramen stops, but soon turns into a battle of endurance as the air thins and the slopes steepen. The night climb was magical — stars overhead, headlamps snaking up the mountain. Reaching the summit at 4:30 a.m. to witness Goraikō, Japan’s sacred sunrise, was pure awe. The descent? Slippery and tough, but the sense of achievement made every step worth it. 🌅Unforgettable. Humbling. Beautiful. My trip is started end of August , start at night for sunrise, layer up, and pace yourself.

Breathtaking and unforgettable experience! Seeing Mt. Fuji in person is truly magical. The view is stunning from every angle, especially on a clear day or during sunrise and sunset. Whether you visit the 5th Station, Lake Kawaguchi, or view it from afar, the scenery is peaceful and awe-inspiring. It’s a must-see landmark that captures the beauty of Japan’s nature and spirit. A perfect spot for photos, hiking, and unforgettable memories!

A reminder that Mt. Fuji represents strength, resilience, and enduring character, similar to the steadfastness of the mountain itself. A spiritual symbol of spiritual growth and enlightenment, a national symbol of Japan's strength, and a source of artistic inspiration.

Don't underestimate this place, some may so it's a walk in the park but it's not. If you're not fit, you will suffer, especially if you plan on ascending and descending on the same day which is what I had done. I do a lot of walk and hike but this was the first proper mountain I had ever climbed. It wasn't so much of my fitness that was an issue, but rather, the altitude sickness. And yes, altitude sickness is real! About ⅔ into the climb, I started feeling the affects of it. For every few steps I went up in elavation, I kept stopping because I felt like hurling. Eventually, I threw up three times, at three different stages of the latter part of the climb. My companion on the other hand, who had never done this let alone walking or hiking, didn't suffer a bit. So it does differ in affects, from person to person. But having said that, do stay overnight and acclimatise for God's sake, as it will make the climb more pleasurable.

The gorgeous Mount Fuji! Blessed to witness this volcano peak on a clear day. One can never be tired watching this view the whole day.

It was an amazing experience! View at the top will take your breath away and is totally worth the eight hour hike. We took the Subashiri Trail and stayed at Tomoekan. Enjoyed the nature, plenty of blue sky and the feeling of walking on cloud, literally. Highly recommend of you are considering this. To optimize your experience , highly recommend you work out and prep yourself physically well enough before the climb.

Visiting Mt. Fuji is a breathtaking and unforgettable experience. Seeing this majestic peak in person feels truly magical — its beauty shines from every angle, especially at sunrise or sunset. Whether you’re admiring it from the 5th Station, the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, or from afar, the scenery is serene and awe-inspiring. A true symbol of Japan’s natural beauty and spirit — perfect for photos, hikes, and lifelong memories.

Surrounded by modern buildings, the shrine feels especially charming. Clear signs guide you from the subway exit. An escalator at the main entrance saves many people's knees. The omamori is a monkey, the first time I've seen one like this.

A very beautiful shrine in the midst of all the big concrete office buildings. Really bringing to life the duality of the old and new japan. Unfortunately, we arrived just after the goshuin area was closed despite it saying it closes at 5 on google, but was shut after 4. There was also quite a bit of construction near the shrine, but it is still open.

What a surprising place right in the middle of the urban area of Akasaka. It's an important and very beautiful Shinto shrine. What stands out the most is the staircase at one of the entrances (west side), with dozens of red torii gates, which looks like a smaller version of the famous Fushimi Inari in Kyoto. It's perfect for photos. Another curiosity is the monkey statues guarding the site, instead of the traditional lion-dogs, as they are considered the messengers of the local deity. There is even an escalator at another entrance to facilitate the ascent to the main courtyard. Admission is free.

The shrine is just a few minutes walk from the Akasaka station. It is located on a hill and you have option to take escalator towards main entrance. There is another entrance wherein you will pass by several tori gates, similar to the ones in Kyoto.

We saw the place from the hotel room we stay. So we decided to check it out one morning. Pretty creepy when learned about the origin of the shrine but i love creepy!!!!!! Cool stories and artifacts in the museum room though. Not a religious person but i love to know about cultures and places

During my time of visit there was a lot of people on the month of December which i understand,but definitely a peaceful place to come and pray before the end of year. One thing I dislike is when the non locals or people who are not from Japan crowding up the line just to a picture in the exit way I understand the background is nice with the tori gates but please be respectful and let the people pass instead making them wait

Quiet and peaceful. It was not crowded, only visited by local prayers and a little amount of tourist. The sunset from the shrine area was beautiful. Keep in mind that we can't take photographs of the shrine building itself.

Kasai Rinkai Park is a very beautiful and spacious park with plenty to do for all ages. It is well connected with its own station, making it easy to access, and also has a huge parking area for those driving. The park features designated barbecue spaces, fishing spots, and long running paths that make it ideal for outdoor activities. There is also an observatory and a large Ferris wheel that give great views of the area. With so much to explore, you can easily spend three to four hours here just walking around and enjoying the natural surroundings.

If you want to spend some quality time with family, you should come here. You can come here by bus or train. Upon arrival, there is a beautiful water show. Within the street side of the park, you can find food, toilets. You can also enjoy the surroundings by a train which runs on the street, basically for kids. On the seaside, you can bring your tent or own sitting arrangements and enjoy the sea. Also,if you want to go nearer to the sea, there is a bridge open towards the small island type portion opened till 5pm. You can do barbecue parties by reservation. There is a big ferris wheel, the biggest I've ever seen, under 800yen (I forgot the actual price). There is a few rides too for kids. Big parking area makes it easier to come by car. Overall, a very nice place.

This is an aquarium run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Of course, you can just enjoy the incredible fish, but what really stands out are things like the feeding times, instructors immediately answering kids' questions, and even an exhibit showing actual trash found in Tokyo Bay. It's a fantastic place for building awareness about environmental issues and fostering respect for nature.

It’s a beautiful park by the Tokyo bay. There are many different functions for different people. I mainly came to watch their designated areas for birds watching. The directions to the area from the entrance were very clear. There were about 5 to 6 areas but there were not many birds in fact. The last place gathered more professional photographers using their telescope lens but variety of birds were limited.

Very nice park you can enjoy with your family, you can ride the steel wheel to see Tokyo, also there's birds sanctuary, it's a nice park but my advise is to make this visit to the last as it's not expressing Tokyo

Tokyo Sea Life Park was free to public on 10/10/2025 for its 36th anniversary. Good little getaway from Tokyo!

Amazing place, the atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. Was not too crowded on a Thursday morning. Spent about 2-3 hours there including lunch and a ferris wheel ride. Would definitely picnic there if I were to visit again.

Such an amazing place to go for a picnic with friends and it's also a good place to make friends as well. Everyone is open to chat. The humidity was high but worth all the time we spent there. You have an amazing view from Tokyo Tower and got to see the transition from day to night, simply beautiful. For first timers, if you're bringing food or beverages, bring also some trash bags and keep it clean for the others.

Large open space, public restrooms and small child play equipment. Nice walking/jogging path. Was relaxing in the morning.

I love this park that is close to Zojo-ji. You can also see the Tokyo tower in the background. The whole area is very popular with locals. There is a peace lamp in the park.

An awesome stretch of green space in the heart of Tokyo city, overlooking the magnificent Tokyo Tower. Believe me, you'll get some of the best views of 🗼 from this park. I went here during sunset so the views were extra special.

This place very comfortable for picnic with family, partner and friend. U can see great view the tokyo tower from shiba park. Very clean 🤗

Nice community park to stroll through or to sit on a shaded park bench to relax. One section of the park was blocked from entry due to "falling trees and rocks."

A small park next to Tokyo Tower, great for photos whether from the center of the park or from nearby parking stairway. Note: The parking lot stairway is a popular photo spot, line up and wait your turn.

It is a historical garden in the Tokyo Imperial Palace. The gardens were first used by the Tokugawa shogunate. The garden was built on the grounds of Edo Castle. The building of the modern gardens began in 1961. The garden is over 210,000 square metres. The garden was completed in 1968. Gardens are well maintained and lovely blooms and manicured trees. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Picturesque place. Must see place. Uneven terrain, lots of walking. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Great place for photography

So well manicured. I’m guessing the gardeners here are an elite team working for the palace. Both my hubby and I loved the trees, the lawn, the fruit trees to name a few. Never fail to amaze us. We spent a total of 3 hours there and forgot the sun existed. We were hot, sweaty and exhausted when we finished. But…we were very happy.

Very beautiful! It was closed certain areas but we walked around the palace and still can enjoy it. There was a lot of security which I noticed with the imperial palace throughout Japan to enter they do inspection on bags, very nice. There is also a very pretty stamp inside a souvenir shop :)

Only the garden around the palace is accessible to the public. It is a very large area, extremely nice to walk around. There are fish in the water surrounding the palace and fruit trees everywhere around the grounds. The whole area is immaculately maintained. On the day of my visit, it was not too crowded thus the long walk was very enjoyable. A bit of a distance from the subway, so prepare for a lot of walking!

Maybe we were here during the wrong season, because i was not very impressed with the park. It was nice, and peaceful, but also felt bare and empty. We were lucky because we got to hear, and sort of see (by peeking through the bushes) that there was a police training in one of the buildings of the park. What I like about this park is that it reminds me in certain aspects of Central Park in New York. I say this because the park is in the middle of the city.

Expect lots of walking especially since we just went to the free entrance after security. Very serene, but lots of tourists. The shops were cute and there are enough bathrooms everywhere. Overall, if you’re looking for a place to just look at nature amidst this concrete jungle - this is it.

I loved this beautiful gardens! It's a lot bigger than I had expected. Well-managed and preserved. Also lots of benches and clean public toilets. Very people-friendly park in the center of Tokyo!

The lighting is very beautiful. There are several stalls selling food in the market. There are not too many shops in the square. There are many gourmet restaurants nearby. You can come here to admire the illuminations and then have a meal nearby.

Nice coffee shops, refreshing wind in summer, good restaurants and vibe. A great place to spend time in Tokyo !

A nice venue, but the beer festival was an organisational shambles. When I tried to enter, the staff sent me on a wild goose-chase (walking around the building) twice! It was only when I returned to the entrance a third time that they seemed to realise that I just wanted to get my glass and enter the venue. On a more positive note, it's free to enter and one gets a free glass. Of course, being Ebisu, it's basically one beer stopped at varying stages of the brewing process and sold as under different names (even the supposed stout is just a dark lager). There were only three food trucks and I had to flag down a person in an orange hat in order to pay and then proceed to the bar. It's totally cashless also.

The first time I came here I fell in love. It's nice to go for a walk, I relax and there are many restaurants to choose from. I feel like I'm in Europe. There are many benches that you can sit on and every time Christmas comes, this is one of the best.

This is a very nice place to meet up for cafe, browsing and people watching. The Yebisu brewery, shops, bookstore and cafes were all really nice to check out on a relaxing day.

Hello, I would like to file a complaint about a food poisoning case that happened on November 1st, 2025. I had dinner at around 6-7pm at the Unagi restaurant on the 38F of Yebisu Garden Place. The name is うなぎ四代目 菊川 恵比寿ガーデンプレイス店. I had a set meal with three pieces of Unagi, a big amount of Sashimi, soup, rice and pickles. The amount was around ¥4300 yen. I developed extreme fever, chills, headache and nausea after the meal. I am still experiencing those symptoms now. Please investigate

Been there last night and the illumination is ongoing. Lots of people though but you can still enjoy the place. There are seats on the upper level. The chandelier’s so grand. In the Christmas tree, you can get a good view of the Tokyo Tower.

Enjoyed the 45 minute cruise - the Japanese guide was excellent, however, if you don’t understand Japanese all you can really do is look around. I think they sell out most of their cruises to Japanese tourists. So, although friendly, they don’t cater to non-Japanese at all. Website and online reservations are only in Japanese. This is unfortunate for non-Japanese speakers as the historical explanations were very interesting.

Despite no English commentary, only Japanese we still really enjoyed the cruise. The views in the bay are stunning. 100% recommend.

Wonderful experience and beautiful views of Tokyo with detailed commentary in Japanese.

The cruise was just amazing. We couldn't understand what the captain was saying but still, we had a great time!

A relaxing way to spend 90 minutes

Nice river cruise for 45 minutes, always fully booked. Need to wait 2 hours for next available. 1500 yen is reasonable.

Bery affordable and clean. I would recommend it to anyone,

The lake below Mount Fuji is a beautiful one. The rope way journey near the lake gives fantastic view on the surroundings and Mt Fuji. The cruise in the lake is also very interesting

I wasn’t so lucky that day since it was pretty cloudy, and Mt. Fuji didn’t show up. But honestly, the atmosphere around the lake was amazing—nice and cool, not too hot or cold. I saw people cycling around and others just walking or exercising. It felt really peaceful and relaxing.

Absolutely the most scenic bike ride I have ever done. Even though it’s not the cherry blossom or snow-capped season, the view of Fuji mountain is quite spectacular from every angle along this lake.

The beauty of the Lake is magnified by the backdrop of Mt. Fuji, the vast blue sky and the lovely breezes. The blueberry tea in the souvenir shop is a good company to this scenic splendour!

When i visited, Fujisan was not visible so the visit was disappointing overall. But the lake area is pretty and well maintained. There are many types of flowers planted and serve as a small consolation prize when Fujisan is not visible. There is a also a souvenir and food shop in the area.

This place is absolutely beautiful, definitely worth a visit even if Mt Fuji isn’t visible. Breath-taking views!

Lake Kawaguchiko is a perfect day trip from Tokyo to see Mount Fuji. Located at the mountain's base, it offers spectacular views, especially from the northern shore where the mountain reflects beautifully in the water. Visit in the early morning for the clearest visibility. Beyond the views, you can rent a bicycle to ride around the lake or take the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway for an aerial perspective. You'll also find opportunities to feed the resident swans, with food often available for purchase nearby. Don't forget to try hoto noodles, a local specialty, before you leave. Lake Kawaguchiko is an unforgettable escape that truly captures Japan's natural beauty.

Before renovation I came for the holiday lunch buffet. The plan was golden week only and included a glass of champagne. My first time came, it need some time to find out the restaurant. View gorgeous, food ok, presentation added much points. Everything was beautiful. Highly recommend baked ricotta cheese, cheesecake, Vanilla ice-cream, sourdough bread, and should have the Champagne. Services really good, but some dining corners were strange such as mine was just one step near the stairs, and the wash room was quite small for a 5 star Hotel. Other than that, the dining experience was great in a beautiful environment with beautiful food. It's worth for it. 2/5/24 JGW 🍽🍾

We decided to dine here on our last night in Tokyo after a 3 week honeymoon. We reserved for a 6:30pm reservation a week in advance so we could see the skyline from daylight to night. And the view did not disappoint! However, just before leaving our hotel we realised there is a dress code, it's on the website so we should have known, but we didn't have that formal clothes with us so we muddled something together. It's generally smart dress, with Japanese in mainly business wear. We decided to order from the a la carte menu (but there is a set menu too) with a birthday gift budget of $250. We both ordered starters and main courses. My husband had steak which bumped the price up. I had two glasses of wine and my husband had one. However, including service charge we actually ended up spending $300. Overall our food was nicely cooked and everything tasted nice, but we both found it a little too rich. My bigger issue was my glass of Riesling was far too sweet, almost sickly. I expect if I see a Riesling on the menu of an upscale restaurant it will be dry, especially a California Riesling- but maybe my mistake for ordering it. Our only other slightly odd issue is it felt weird having modern European food with a California wine list in Japan.

Top class restaurant with highly professional staff members. Lunch menu offers a buffet with an entree of your choice. Appetizers & dessert were so good as well. A must visit restaurant with one of the most amazing 360 views of Tokyo. Priceless experience.

I’ve had lunch here twice now and the food was amazing! You get a appetizer buffet which was really delicious - there was a variety of food to choose from which was all really tasty. The main course was also really good (had steak). The flavor of all the food was amazing. To top that off they do complimentary message plates if you are celebrating something which was a pleasant surprise for the birthday boy. The cakes and ice cream were also really good! The service was amazing too. And the view is just incredible. I also liked that we moved to the lounge after finishing the main course where we could see more of Tokyo and eat sweets and have some tea. This is definitely worth a try.

Decided to make a reservation here for my birthday and loved the ambience. We were seated with one of the best seats in the house! The buffet style starters as well as dessert course were delicious to say the least. Give the key lime pie a try if you can! For the main course we opted for the chick pea curry and seafood pasta! Both were so tasty. Thank you for the perfect end to our Tokyo trip!

It can only be 5 stars. This was my third visit to this restaurant (lunch), each time has been amazing. It is upmarket for what I am used to and they really control your movements, maybe due to Covid restrictions or because we are uncultured savages, you have to follow the meal flow strictly and the staff are super attentive. The buffet is the absolute best. Every single thing is fantastic and delightful to the palate, I’d eaten 2 plates full before my main even arrived. I was tempted to grab the bowls of ricotta cheese and bacon and trough them down. Salmon is fantastic as are all of the sauces and dressings available. My main today was the American sirloin with mash and asparagus. It was ok, not the best steak I’ve had but pretty damn good, just the right size as well. In the future I’d get the fish or chicken again. After all that food…. desert time!!!! Back to the buffet for amazing cakes, ice cream, pastries and all goodies! The staff will offer tea or coffee with your desert and it’s good stuff. It’s on the 52nd floor and offers an amazing view of Tokyo. You really feel the special environment of this restaurant. Great for dates, get togethers, celebrations or any damn reason you can think of. Just go. Cost is just over 7000yen per person. That is 1000% worth it for the food, service, location, everything. I’d pay 7000 just for the buffet lol. Use the bathrooms at the top of the first elevator….. super fancy.

An amazing holiday lunch buffet and main on the 52nd floor. Amazing selections and flavors, with carefully selected sauces for each meat preparation. After your meal, move over to the lounge area for coffee and dessert. Be sure to try to ice cream station and the cheese cake with cherry sauce. The Grill is also amazing for dinner and drinks, but will save that for a separate post!

A bit touristy for sure, as it has been included on social media a lot lately - but the waitor was really sweet and even knew some Swedish, witch is a first here in Tokyo for me! We were 5 people and got a table pretty easily on a Saturday night. There is only the option to do a full course menu so beware of that, the minimum is about 5-6000 yen pp but you get A LOT of food. The food was beautiful (for the most part) and mostly of good quality. Weirdly enough our favorite was the beef at this seafood restaurant! The one thing that drives the grade down is that on the latter part of the course menu there was a soup with potatoes and fish, which had a lot of bones and just did not feel like it belonged at all. Sort of interrupted the flow of the meal. The dessert was a bit on the simple side, but allright. There was some issue with ordering water, there seemed to be confusion and we had to wait for a long while to get water with our food, which was a bit annoying. But otherwise, great staff and service!

Vibey spot for a range of delicious Japanese dishes with a wonderful staff - we did the Tsuki course, and it was flavourful and sizeable. The tofu soup, the carpaccio, the crab gratin, the chicken yakitori and the prawns were our favourite dishes. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, our only qualm was that the courses came out rapidly so we had to ask them to slow down a bit (which they were happy to do). Lovely decor and good vibes overall. They seem to have one location for tourists and one for locals, which is a bit of a shame if you want to be immersed in a local spot (since they do have that) but it doesn’t take away from the experience and we had a lovely time. Would go back!

Second visit for us. Atmosphere is still great, casual and publike. As they mostly serve Set Menus, many items like the sashimi platters are prepared in advance and kept chilled. Overall, it's a nice experience but you could find better food quality in many other places in Tokyo at this price range.

Absolutely sensational experience, unmissable especially if you are coeliac. On top of generally excellent service, the staff graciously and efficiently catered to my partner's intolerance to gluten (fairly rare in our experience of Japan). We were very impressed that they could alter the course meals to suit our food needs, even though we didn't have a reservation. The food itself was top notch, the atmosphere relaxed and funky, and the waitstaff incredibly kind and accommodating. I've seen some reviews saying this place is expensive, but I haven't seen a better price for so much food of this calibre. Best dining experience for us in Tokyo so far.

I’ve been coming here for more than 10 years. We did a la carte by nostalgia but seems like they have dedicated courses now. You should definitely try the tuna spare rib. The special cocktail namakura is a must drink too.

Best 9-course omakase in Tokyo $120pp only @kaikaya_bythesea offers the most unique and excellent omakase experience that includes the freshest of fresh seafood and meats, including some homemade desserts. Every dish is a culinary masterpiece by the chef. 1. Half moon tofu with sesame seeds creamy sauce 2. Live tiger prawns boiled in salt 3. Two pieces of otoro sushi & crab and salmon roe stuffed in a crab shell 4. Seven kinda of fresh fish sashimi 5. Snow crab legs tempura and fish cakes zeppoli style 6. Stuffed with Gorgonzola risotto oven baked baby abalone 7. Branded chicken kohakudori and domestic duck yakitori 8. Wagyu zabuton beef tagliata 9. Homemade cherry blossom icecream and seasonal sweets 10. Traditional Japanese soup Everything tastes simply amazing, especially the sashimi and the beef were the showstoppers of the menu. But honestly I’d definitely be coming back here to dine again on my next trip to Japan. It was the best omakase experience I’ve ever had. Also the service is very very prompt, the moment you done with one course, the best is brought out in no time so no waiting and that’s a great sign. The staff all are very welcoming, friendly and attentive. We had the best time here. Highly recommend @kaikaya_bythesea for a fantastic, authentic yet unique Japanese omakase experience.

Simply amazing, their set menus are really high-end and filling. You get a lot of items which makes it difficult to explain one by one. We went for Yuki which was the most basic set menu but it was certainly great.

I visited Nezu Shrine in February, and the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful with very few people around. The weather was pleasantly cool. Inside, there are several spots for worship, and a key highlight is the long path lined with torii gates, which leads to the back of the shrine. At the end, there are restroom facilities available. Along the torii path, you’ll also find a small Japanese garden with a waterfall, creating a serene and beautiful setting. I highly recommend visiting if you want a quiet escape from the city. It’s conveniently located near the University of Tokyo.

Nezu Shrine is one of those secluded places that very few tourists go to, and as such it still feels very genuine and charming. There’s also a little pond full of Koi fish and a few turtles too. A hidden gem among more well known shrines and temples of Tokyo.

It’s always quiet and calming when you enter this shrine. Towering trees, bird songs and beautiful koi, aka colorful carp fish.

Quiet yet very nice shrine complex. Not crowded and not usual tourists place but it's grand and peaceful. I wish i can come on summer when the azaleas are blooming would be even nicer.

A beautiful, peaceful, non-commercial place. We visited at about 5:00pm and there was almost no one there. It was our last night in Japan and it was a great way to finish our visit. Love this place!

I was there early in the morning and it was mildly raining. It’s easily accessible via bus and at a walkable distance from Ueno. There were very few people early in the morning and this place is easily one of the most underrated spots for tourists. It’s beautiful throughout and extremely well maintained.

My sister and I decided to go to this shrine and it was the right decision. This shrine is culturally beautiful and quiet, we also found a kimono rental nearby the shrine. Definitely recommend this place

To say that we got lost trying to find the Hotel New Otani Japanese Garden ホテルニューオータニ 日本庭園 would be an understatement. We did ask for directions at the hotel desk and they were somewhat helpful. But things get inda confusing when you are walking through the hotel. Still, the easiest way is to go through the hotel. We finally found a map when we got to the garden entrance (would have come in handy earlier). Fairly calm ans serene at the garden. Not a huge waterfall.

The Japanese garden at Hotel New Otani is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, well-maintained, and full of charm. There are ponds with koi fish, stone lanterns, and lovely walking paths surrounded by seasonal flowers and greenery. It’s hard to believe such a calm oasis exists right in the middle of Tokyo. The staff are exceptionally kind and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. A wonderful place to take a quiet stroll and appreciate traditional Japanese landscaping.

Staggering views and just an amazing garden. An absolute must see in Tokyo it is one of the most beautiful gardens that I have ever seen. Free entrance as the hotel staff is gracious enough to look the other way for visitors that want to see the garden. It is just mind blowing, you can even pet the fish here in the ponds. A big thank you to the hotel staff and management for allowing me to stroll through this gorgeous garden.

Magical and enchanting garden, sunset time will take you completely into the wonderful moment

We were upgraded to a nice big room due to issues at check in. The hotel is huge and felt like a giant empty cruise ship. Looks like it is a big conference hotel. It is up on a hill and far from any type of walkable neighborhood. At 6:30 in the morning I was told the only coffee to be had was out the hotel and down the hill to 7/11. Ugh. Made the trek. Came back and had it in the garden which was the best part of this hotel. I would not stay here again. Too far from anything. Too empty and big…no local vibe or Japanese flair at all. As a tourist, staying in a vibrant neighborhood is preferable to me than this type of hotel off on a hill. Two stars for the nice big room.

Beautiful garden built 400 years ago. It has a little chapel too where you can pray in the morning. The hotel has parking, but a bit expensive at 500yen/30min. The lounge has a really nice view, but the a la carte also quite expensive (drinks 1500 yen, croissant 600 yen) Free parking if you shop/dine over a certain amount

Gorgeous garden and a great spot for a relaxing walk in a busy area of the city. Some of the areas weren't kept that well and the water was dirty at the bottom of the waterfall which detracted from the experience. Overall, there's plenty to see and do and I would recommend coming here to anyone.

A beautiful event hall in the middle of Tokyo. The garden is well designed and displays many of the iconic Japanese inspiration structures. There is a lake, waterfall, cute little cottages and, of course, a tea house. It is definitely worth a wonderful walk thru the place and have a wonderful meal at the dining hall. Overall, a very nice event center.

This wedding venue is a wonderful space that combines the best of both Japanese and Western styles. It retains a traditional Japanese atmosphere, while also featuring a beautiful church that complements it. My friend's wedding was truly wonderful, and the service from the staff was of an extremely high quality, making it a lifelong memory for both the organizers and the guests. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the architecture and staff for creating such a wonderful space.

Beautiful, Serene and Zen wedding venue with top notch service and excellent food.

A beautiful (free !) Japanese garden that showcases centuries-olf bonsais. Perfect to take a breather.

We had the Afternoon Tea set in the Thrush Cafe in Happoen. The garden was beautiful and very well kept. The staff were courteous. The afternoon tea set was, however, below expectation. While the food items were esthetically presented and was a pleasure to look at, the 2 bread items of the day would be, in my opinion, better replaced by savory sandwiches.

Amazing little garden. The attention to details is awesome. A very nice display or bonsai trees and a cool pond with koi fish. Nice little waterfalls and little statues and corners to sit. If only the tea house was open during my visit it would have been a perfect experience. Nonetheless a perfect score for the way this place is set and kept.

Great place to experience a Japanese garden. Loved the restaurant too!

Incredible free views from the 38th and 39th floors. There are restrictions on photography equipment (e.g. lens length). The restaurants seem to have fair prices and great views also.

Hello, I would like to file a complaint about a food poisoning case that happened on November 1st, 2025. I had dinner at around 6-7pm at the Unagi restaurant on the 38F of Yebisu Garden Place. The name is うなぎ四代目 菊川 恵比寿ガーデンプレイス店. I had a set meal with three pieces of Unagi, a big amount of Sashimi, soup, rice and pickles. The amount was around ¥4300 yen. I developed extreme fever, chills, headache and nausea after the meal. I am still experiencing those symptoms now. Please investigate

A lovely place to spend a evening with friends and family. Beautiful view of the winter illuminations and the main attraction as now (13-11-22) is the Baccarat Eternal lights with more than 1000s of crystals embedded in the 5m long chandelier. It’s just amazing to view and relax over the weekend. Museum of Ebisu beer is just right there but it’s closed for renovations until end of 2023.

Cool hangout spot, plenty of eateries and food trucks around, and if I'm not wrong it's also where Domuyoji waited in the rain for Makino in Hana Yori Dango, which you know, counts for something, right!? ;)

go up to the 38th floor for an incredible view. lots of restaurants up here so it doesn't feel awkward to hang out up here.

Went there on 31st December, 2022. Beautiful place. The palace building has unique and eye-catching structure. Winter illumination and the displayed chandelier was gorgeous!!

Place is beautiful, the view from sky lounge is stunning

Shinjuku Station is a marvel of efficiency and scale! As the busiest train station in the world, it’s incredible to see how seamlessly it manages millions of passengers each day. The station is massive, with multiple floors, countless exits, and an impressive range of shops, restaurants, and services, making it feel almost like a city within a city. Navigating can be a bit overwhelming at first, but the signage is helpful, and there are always staff available to point you in the right direction. It’s the perfect hub to access different parts of Tokyo and beyond. Just be prepared for crowds and give yourself a little extra time to get your bearings. Overall, an essential Tokyo experience

We came to this large train station to catch the Romancecar train. The place is huge and filled with people. There are many lines and platforms so reading the signs carefully is needed. Unfortunately, our train was delayed and subsequently cancelled and we had to take a local train. Good thing the ticket office staff explained to us how to change to a local train and we made it to our destination.

Lots of construction around the station 🏗️🚧 Plenty of lockers, convenience stores and ATMs.

Crazy big station. Over 3.5m people every day. Surprising easy to get around so long as you know what entrance to use and what track. There are a couple of JR offices who can help you book the airport Narita Express "N'EX" and Shinkansen

Organized chaos. Shinjuku swallows you then spits you out by a different skyscraper, somehow on time. Office towers to the west, shopping arcs to the east, nightlife to the northeast. Everyone passes through: commuters, shoppers, late-night legends. It’s Tokyo turned up. Tourist Tip: Use landmarks: “South Gate” for faster JR transfers, “West” for skyscrapers/Odakyu/Keio. Follow color-coded signs and give yourself buffer time.

ALERT - There are two sides to this station. You will get directions to the Shinjuku line platform 5 by going downstairs. There you will get directions to go upstairs. In one station - the JR Line you will see platform 1 thru 4 and 6 to 10 but no platform 5. When that happens go to street level and just cross the street. Platform 5 belongs to the Shinjuku Line. This is the busiest train station in the world. 3.5 to 3.6 million passengers daily. Be patient. You are not alone. It is very confusing.

A good place where to exchange a train or bus from or to the way of Fuji mountain. There is a nearby station for the metro which is directly deep into the city. It is already frequented area of Tokyo so there is already everything that we needed during our change from the volcano. Thank you✌️
