Wadakura Fountain Park is a peaceful and lovely park north of the East Park of Tokyo Imperial Palace. It was originally built in 1961 to celebrate the royal wedding of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. In spite of the relatively small size, it is a pleasant oasis to get away from the busy city for a moment. The park is easily accessible from Tokyo Station and you will pass it on your way to Tokyo Imperial Palace. One of the highlights of the park is the various fountains exhibiting a range of water patterns that change continuously and offer an attractive view along with beautiful flowers all year round. The park is accessible 24 hrs and offers wonderful photo ops for photographers at night. The city’s flickering lights and the peaceful park are extra scenic and romantic at night.

Wadakura Fountain Park Open 24 hours

National Museum of Modern Art is one of the most famous art museums in Tokyo , also known by the English acronym MOMAT. The museum opened in 1952 as Japan’s first national art museum. It is located in Kitanomaru Garden , the northern part of the outer gardens of Tokyo Imperial Palace. The museum has a great collection of impressive art works and masterpieces by both modern Japanese and overseas artists from the early 20th century to the present day. Even if you are not an art-lover, this museum is still worth visiting. At the ‘room with a view’ you can enjoy some beautiful views of the Imperial Palace Gardens or enjoy a coffee at one of the restaurants/cafes. While the museum is actually closer to Takebashi Station, a walk from Tokyo Station will take you through several (historic) sights on your way like the Wadakura Fountain Park. The area is also known as one of the best places to watch the beautiful cherry blossom in spring . The nearby Chidorigafuchi Moat, where you can rent the iconic swan boats, is one of the best places to watch sakura in Tokyo .

Our final destination is Nihonbashi , a popular tourist attraction full of exciting experiences for everyone. While it is often described as an urbanized business and shopping center in guidebooks, this is actually where traditional and modern Japan co-exist in harmony. Next to the modern highrise, you can find traditional Japanese shops selling goods like knives and traditional sweets for hundreds of years! Nihonbashi Bridge is a symbolic structure that was completed in the Edo Period (1603- 1868) as the starting point of Japan’s five major roads that connected the entire country. Board a cruise tour from Nihonbashi Pier, or try a great number of dining options, including traditional Japanese restaurants serving sushi or fresh eel dishes. Head to Coredo Muromachi, a shopping and entertainment hub where you can enjoy tax-free shopping and get traditional Japanese experiences such as kimono wearing class!

Most of the tourist attractions above can be found within walking distance, or even directly connected to Tokyo Station. Each of them are great places to spend an enjoyable time while you are waiting for trains, or wandering around the station. Can you easily spend a couple of hours in the area around Tokyo Station, there are many things to see and do and the contrasting scenery formed by modern highrise and the old buildings is a fascinating sight. The green scenery is also a good place to watch cherry blossom in spring or the autumn foliage in autumn. We hope you will enjoy these must visit places at the heart of Tokyo!

Things to Do Near Tokyo Station

A station and a city in one place

Tokyo Station is the main train terminal and a major bus terminal in Tokyo bringing people to other cities in Japan. It is also the busiest, with over 3,000 trains per day for the many passengers, both local and foreign, that go through this beautiful and historic station .

However, Tokyo Station is more than just a train station or bus terminal. Around this huge building are a lot of shops, restaurants and sights to see so the next time you pass through, how about taking time to look around before you head off to your onward destination?

Here are a few places I would recommend for you to check out:

Kitte Marunouchi

Within easy walking distance of the Marunouchi exit of Tokyo Station are a number of attractions. One of them is Kitte Marunouchi. Occupying one underground floor and the first six floors of the Japan Post Tower, Kitte Marunouchi offers a cultural glimpse of Japan and a vast array of shopping and dining options. O n the sixth floor, there is an outdoor Roof Garden which is a nice observation deck for Tokyo Station. This gives you an excellent view of the beautiful classic facade of the station, and also of the trains coming and going there.

Imperial Palace

This is also one of my favorite places and a must-see when you are in Tokyo. Only about 10 minutes walk from the station, you get to see the residence of Japan's Imperial Family. Although the inner grounds of the palace, across the scenic Nijubashi bridges, are generally not open to the public, the serenity of the large park surrounding the palace is a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

Kitchen Street & Ramen Street

The names say it all. As you walk up and around and down into the station's underground passageways, you will see a vast selection of restaurants, including fantastic Japanese cuisines, that are lined up on both sides of the station. You can have a simple snack or a full meal and everything else in between.

Character Street

Hello Kitty and her equally popular animated friends are here. This is a long passageway of shops that sell all things character-based, including souvenirs from Japanese variety shows and TV dramas. It will take you at least a good hour to go through this passageway so make sure you have plenty of time, especially if you have children waiting at home.

Omiyage Shopping

As Tokyo Station is the gateway for trains going to 46 out of 47 prefectures in Japan, many people often buy omiyage , a gift for their family and friends. Tokyo Station has one of the biggest gifts and omiyage markets and Tokyo Me+ (Tokyo Mitasu), which specializes in Tokyo gifts and souvenirs, and Okashi Land , where you can indulge in sweets and snacks, are two places that I would recommend.

There is much to do and plenty to see in Tokyo Station so don't worry if you have to spend a few hours there. In fact, plan on it – it will be a time well-spent.

Tokyo Station: 11 Things to do Around Marunouchi

By gowithguide travel specialist: tien t..

Things To Do

It would not be wrong to say that the Marunouchi District is the doorway to Japan. However, it is much more than that, it is a central hub that is thriving in business where restaurants, hotels, and skyscrapers are at every corner you can see. 

Marunouchi District used to be home for feudal lords and now is most famous for the grand Imperial Palace that lies at the center of the district. It is now the center for art, shopping, and dining that is worth a visit to experience the fusion of modern and traditional Japan.

Since it is such a huge area, you might not know where to start, so below we have compiled a list of the top 11 things to do around Marunouchi as well as near Tokyo station!

How to get there?

If you just arrived in Tokyo in either Haneda Airport or Narita Airport, then you might be wondering how you can get here. There are many options ranging from buses to trains to taxis. 

For Haneda Airport to Tokyo Station  

You can either take the Tokyo Monorail or the Keikyu line for trains, the Limousine bus or a taxi if you so desire. Below is the price and time difference between each mode of transportation:

For Narita Airport to Tokyo Station

There are many more options for you to get to central Tokyo even though Narita airport is quite far away, we have prepared a guide  to help you find the most convenient way for you to get to Tokyo station as well as other areas around Tokyo. You can also find your way back from Tokyo Station to Narita Airport using the same modes of transportation. 

If you wish to travel from Tokyo Station to Shinjuku or any other stations then catching a train there is always the best and fastest option. If you don't know which one, just use Google Maps, there are also maps located around the train stations and you can ask the railway staff in English as well if you need to.

Where to stay?

Staying in this part of Tokyo is not the most inexpensive choice and are usually costly. However, choices ranging from luxurious to budget hotels near Tokyo Station are still available in Marunouchi.

Our Favourite:

• Planetyze Hostel (for Booking.com ): The hostel provides a modern, foreigner friendly vibe that is unlike any other, it is located in the center of Tokyo and is arguably the best pricing for the services you get.

Luxury Hotels: 

• The Tokyo Station Hotel:  It is right within the center of Tokyo and the hotel provides spacious and comfortable rooms with great views. The price is well worth it for what you get considering it's a luxury hotel.
• Mandarin Oriental Tokyo: Probably the most luxurious of them all, they provide everything that defines a wealthy lifestyle.
• Hoshinoya Tokyo: If you're looking for the ultimate luxury Japanese ryokan experience right in central Tokyo then look no further than Hoshinoya. 

Budget Hotels:

• Pearl Hotel Yaesu: It's a business hotel with affordable pricing. It can be a little small but the location makes up for it.
• Smile Hotel Nihonbashi Mitsukoshimae: Reasonable pricing business hotel with a great location.

Where to go and what to do?

The attractions around Marunouchi are astoundingly vast and spending just a few days here would not be enough to see every attraction around Tokyo station, so it's important to plan ahead! 

1. Imperial Palace

After exiting Tokyo Station, the first thing you should see are tall buildings and beside it is a vast garden, a huge reservoir of water surrounding a grand castle. That is the Imperial Palace. When you first enter it grounds, it almost as if you have entered another world, the bustling streets filled with cars, skyscrapers and people seemingly disappear and you will be enveloped by the lush greenery of the Imperial Palace. No matter the season, the gardens of the Imperial Palace are always loved by tourists and locals alike. 

Another thing,

While visitors can freely traverse around the outer area of the Imperial Palace, the only way you can inspect the inside is through an Imperial Palace Guide Tour. This tour is free of charge but you must apply at least 4 days before on their website . 

2. Character Street

Looking to buy a stuffed toy of your favorite mascot or anime characters? Then you should check out Character Street, it houses 21 stores of various characters ranging from Pokemon to Lego and you can see some surprising items. So if you want a puzzle collection, card decks and plushies of your favorite characters then definitely check this place out.

3. Sony Building

Also regarded as one of Ginza's most popular landmarks, the Sony building allows visitors to sample their products (and not just already commercialized ones but yet to be released tech as well!) for free. Sometimes if you're lucky, then you might be able to participate in one of their occasionally held workshops at the building!

4. Tokyo International Forum building

Originally an exhibition space built by architect Rafael Vinoly, it is shaped similar to that of a boat. On Weekdays, various food trucks come by and sell for hungry customers. In addition, in the basement, you can see Mitsuo Aida's work, who is one of Japan's leading modern calligrapher. There's also an antique market and various other events that are held regularly in the building, so check out their schedule  to see what else is happening!

5. Tokyo Ramen Street

Rokurinsha said to be the original creator Tsukemen,  is a favorite here that you should try, be sure to check out other restaurants with lines of people waiting because those are usually the best. 

6. Idemitsu Museum of Arts

The museum may be small in size, but it offers a chance to close and intimate with the best of Japanese ceramics, calligraphy, and painting not just originally from Japan but across Korea and China as well. There is also a seating room where you can sit down and gaze across the Imperial Palace which is absolutely breathtaking.

7. INTERMEDIATHEQUE

This museum is dedicated to the work of the University of Tokyo students, only the best works are displayed here. From dinosaur exo-skeleton to taxidermy, you won't know what to expect when you enter the building. 

8. Marunouchi Illumination

Winter of Marunouchi is one of the most magical places to be in Tokyo. Every corner of is lit up with lights from trees to parks, various decorations are also put up for display. After a tiring day, walking around at night in Marunouchi is a relaxing and wondrous experience that you must check out.

9. Marunouchi House

Located on the 7th floor of the Shin-Marunouchi building, it is the place to go if you want to dine in and enjoy a spectacular view. The restaurant sells a variety of international food and at night it's even better. Various bars and pubs will be open and you are allowed to bring your own food outside of the terrace. On Thursday and Friday nights you can expect DJs and exhibitions to be opened, making it even livelier.

10. Rent an electric bike and travel around

Nothing is quite possibly relaxing as you rent a bike and travel around Tokyo at your leisure. The electric bikes here can get around most places in Marunouchi district and nothing is like riding around Tokyo Tower, Asakusa and getting lost in some tiny streets of Tokyo. The Chiyocle community bikes are very accessible and you can find a charging station everywhere.

11. Kitanomaru-kouen

 A natural haven in the middle of Tokyo, you can not miss this park as it is right in front of the Imperial Palace. You can pay a visit to the Museum of Modern Art Tokyo, listen to music at the Nippon Bukodan concert hall or even on the park grounds itself where random musicians display their talents! Relaxing here and enjoying the surrounding is a must after a tiring day trekking around Tokyo, if possible, visit Kitanomaru-kouen during the Cherry Blossom season and you will be amazed by the scenery!

Bottom line? 

Marunouchi has everything you need for an unforgettable experience even if you don't travel outside of the capital. Since the train station is a central hub for locals and visitors alike, there are many attractions around Tokyo station that you can enjoy and pay a visit. If you have little time, then at the least, you should check out the Imperial Palace!

Bonjour! Je m’appelle Yoko, je suis guide diplômée. J’habite à Tokyo, dans le quartier appelé Yanesen, depuis plus de 10 ans. J’aime bien mon quartier, il se trouve au milieu de Tokyo, mais il garde l'atmosphère d’autrefois.Il y a plus de 100 temples et sanctuaires, les festivals de sanctuaire sont des événements importants pour les habitants, dans les rues commerçantes, il y a de vieux magasins qui animent les rues même aujourd’hui. C’est comme un village, les habitants sont ouverts, amicaux et sympas, il y a de vrais échanges entre eux. Je crois qu’il y a de vieux Tokyo, de vraie vie quotidienne de Tokyoïtes qui ne changent pas depuis longtemps à Yanesen. J’aime bien aussi voyager, découvrir la culture vivante tout en faisant la connaissance avec des personnes locales. Et c’est pour cela que quand je voyage, j’aime bien aller aux marchés, aux cafés et aux restaurants populaires entre les habitants. J’aime aussi le saké depuis 5,6 ans, mais je n'aimais pas le saké, je croyais que le vin était le meilleur, et qu’il accompagnait presque n’importe quel cuisine. Mais aujourd’hui je crois que le saké est le meilleur pour accompagner la cuisine japonaise et notamment quand on voyage dans des régions au Japon, il permet de communiquer plus facilement avec des personnes locales. Pour approfondir mes connaissances, j’ai obtenu le diplôme de saké sommelier et travaille dans une entreprise de saké. Je vous guiderai dans ce bon vieux Tokyo afin que vous puissiez découvrir une vraie vie quotidienne de Tokyoïte, tout en servant d'intermédiaire entre vous et les habitants du quartier. Et bien sur, je peux organiser également le tour sur mesure, tout en répondant à vos demandes pour votre voyage innoubliable! J’espère que l’on se voit très bientôt à Tokyo!                                                                                                                                  

I’m an instructor of sushi making for foreign travelers and got the national license as a tour guide last year. Therefore I can provide a guiding for Tsukiji/Omiya fish market and a private lesson for the traditional sushi making for both. If you are interested in bonsai too, travering omiya is a perfect idea since I can provide for all these. I hope I have a chance to help you for unforgetable Japan travel experience.

How to Get There

Tokyo Station is a central hub for many trains and metro lines.

Tokyo Station can be reached by various JR trains, including the Yamanote Line, Chuo Line, Sobu Line and Keihin-Tohoku Line. For those using Tokyo Metro lines, the Marunouchi Line is convenient. You can also reach Tokyo Station via long underground passageways linked to nearby Otemachi Station, a stop on the Tozai, Chiyoda, Hanzomon, and Mita metro lines. The shinkansen bullet train terminal serves as a gateway to and from other cities in Japan.

There are two Japan Rail Pass Exchange counters in the station, one by the Marunouchi North Exit and the other by the Yaesu North Exit. Both are open from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Amsterdam meets Tokyo

The iconic red and white brick design of the original station building was inspired by Amsterdam's Central Station. Sadly, it was damaged during World War II but has been restored to its former splendor thanks to a major renovation project finished in 2012. The elegant Neo-Baroque inspired ceilings under the large domes are one of the highlights, their warm yellows and unusual eagle and zodiac designs giving the space a grand feeling.

Heading underground for fantastic shopping and food

Beneath the station, you will find dozens of underground passages, shopping streets, dining areas, galleries and more. You could spend a whole afternoon exploring "Tokyo Station City" without ever coming out above ground. Foodies will want to check out the offerings at Ramen Street, Kurobei Yokocho, and Kitchen Street.

Pop culture fans will be delighted with Tokyo Character Street, filled with shops selling official Japanese character goods ranging from a Pokemon Center and Ghibli store to ones for classic Shonen Jump anime series and the latest popular characters.

Tokyo Station is a great spot to find Japanese souvenirs, sweets, and other goods, with options for a whole range of budgets.

Rainy-day haven

Tired after walking around the city? Treat yourself to a massage or manicure in the fancy department stores or little salons of the Yaesu Shopping Mall, also known as Yaechika. Bibliophiles will find a second home in the foreign language book section of Maruzen, housed in the Marunouchi Oazo complex in front of the Marunouchi North Exit.

How to Spend a Whole Day in Tokyo Station: Shopping, Dining, Sightseeing and More!

• Tokyo station/Marunouchi
• Melissa Tolentino

Find yourself stuck in Tokyo Station, willingly or unwillingly? Lucky you! Tokyo Station isn't just about transit. This major station is a dining and shopping wonderland, and you can spend a whole day here with no trouble at all! Whether you're killing a few hours or just want to explore all this enormous station has to offer, there's plenty of things to do. Read on as we round up how to kill an entire day in Tokyo Station!

This post may contain affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Have you found yourself in Tokyo Station with more than a few hours to kill?

Is it raining out and you just don't know what to do in Tokyo that isn't outside?

Are you tired of temples, gardens, history and all that ancient Japan stuff?

Did your shinkansen leave without you and you're just too tired to deal with getting on another train so soon?

Never fear. If you're stuck in Tokyo Station--willingly or unwillingly--you can easily spend a whole day there.

First, Find a Coin Locker

If you have luggage and you'll be spending a few hours in the station, your best bet is to find a coin locker. Depending on the day, whether or not it's raining, and how much luggage you have, you might not be able to find a coin locker stand with enough open spaces (or any at all), but Tokyo Station is HUGE. You might find a locker on the complete opposite side, but it'll be worth it when you can walk around hands-free (and you'll need it for your shopping).

If you don't want to put up with the hassle of finding a coin locker or you really just can't find one anywhere, we highly recommend trying other luggage storage services such as ecbo cloak. For a full introduction to this service, check out the article below!

11 AM - 1 PM: Find Your Way to the Yaesu Exit

Wherever you are in the station, begin by making your way toward the Yaesu Side of Tokyo Station, which is naturally by the Yaesu Exit . This is where all of the good indoor stuff is.

If you meander slowly enough through Tokyo Station, chances are someone will give you a dirty look, especially if you have big luggage. My advice is: don't walk like you have nowhere to be, but don't run, either.

You'll know you're close to the Yaesu side when you start seeing a lot of shops. Not just convenience stores, but real shops where you can buy anything from clothes to cold medicine. Once you're in the Yaesu area, you can enjoy an hour of shopping or just looking around. If you want, you can head towards the Daimaru, which is a giant department store, and check out the brand goods on each floor or the food area in the basement. (If you go on a weekend, they'll have free samples.)

Between the Marunouchi side and the Yaesu side is another shopping area called Gransta, which means more shopping and cafes.

1 PM - 2:30 PM: Lunch on Kitchen Street

Kitchen Street: the name says it all. Kitchen Street is just a maze of restaurants. You can find anything here, from light meals to bars to izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) to gourmet fancy meals. Be prepared for lines at some places. Some move fast, while others can take hours.

If you happen to pass by Ramen Street on First Avenue, save it for dinner! Ramen is heavy, and you definitely won't want to be walking around the station afterwards.

For a lighter option, why not try sushi? Yes, there are plenty to choose from! If you're willing to venture from the station, there are even more options. Check out our guide to 10 Great Sushi Restaurants Around Tokyo Station .

2:30 - 5 PM: Shopping, Shopping, Shopping... Or More Ancient Japan Stuff

If you haven't gotten it by now, there is SO MUCH shopping to do in Tokyo Station. If you have kids, like anime/cute characters, or want to bring souvenirs back home, I recommend you go to Character Street.

Character Street is a long passageway filled with shops selling popular Japanese animated characters, like Hello Kitty, One Piece or Domo-kun. There are shops from each television station, so you can buy goods from TV dramas and variety shows here, too. It will definitely take you the better part of an hour, if not more, to go through all of these shops. And once you're done, you'll have spent more than you expected to...

If you want to explore the area around Tokyo Station, rain or shine, you can check out Kitte, a new and stylish shopping building which also houses the Tokyo Central Post Office, or even walk to the Imperial Palace (5 minutes). Details, as well as other things to see if you leave the station, can be found in our guide to What to Do Around Tokyo Station Before Catching Your Train .

5 PM: Dinner on Ramen Street

First, you must find Tokyo Ramen Street amidst the labyrinth of passageways, shops, and restaurants that comprise the Grand Central Station-like Tokyo Station. Watch for signs, or even better, ask someone official-looking "Ramen Street, doko desu ka?" Eight of the best were invited to open at Tokyo Ramen Street, and the response has been stunning. The restaurants are open 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. with some variation, but go during prime lunch or dinner hours, and you'll be sure to find lines. The longest lines are always at Rokurinsha, famous for its thick noodles served tsukemen-style with dipping sauce, where people are known to wait well over an hour for a precious seat. seriouseats.com

You WILL be totally full after you eat a huge bowl of ramen. But if you're still up for walking it off...

If your tastes run to the more luxurious, we've got you covered! Check out our guide to 7 Restaurants Around Tokyo Station Honored by World Top Gourmands .

7 PM: Omiyage Shopping

If you didn't do this earlier while you were shopping your heart out, hit up Okashi Land. "Okashi" means sweets (make sure you don't add another i sound at the end, because this turns it into "okashii," which means strange), and you will definitely find yourself in a land full of snacks. You can buy for yourself, or grab some omiyage (souvenirs) for other people.

There are shops from a bunch of famous snack companies, such as Calbee and Glico, so you can stock up on your year's worth of Pocky.

8 PM: See the Night Lights

When it gets dark outside, make sure you head out to the remodeled side of Tokyo Station (the part that looks like it's from another era) and see how it looks at night. The view may not be as spectacular as some of the nightscapes you'll see in Japan, but it is definitely beautiful.

Day to Night at Tokyo Station!

Did you enjoy your day at Tokyo Station? Keep in mind there's so much more to do than this. Grab a floor guide (they have them in English) and have fun!

12 best places to take photos in Tokyo on vacation

A perfect combination of past and future, Tokyo pulsates with unparallelled energy. From historical landmarks and parks to neon-soaked neighbourhoods, the city of thirteen million continues to mesmerise travellers. To experience—and remember—the best views on your  next trip to Tokyo , explore these twelve spots with a camera in hand.

1. Tokyo City View Tower

Source: Andrew Faulk

Map Tokyo City View tower

Located in the chic area of Roppongi Hills,  Tokyo City View tower  is one of the best places to see the expanse of Tokyo. At 250 metres, the observation deck boasts an amazing panorama of Tokyo’s most iconic landmarks. Visit the tower during the day while the crowds are at bay. While you won’t capture romantic city lights, you will walk away with a crisp image without having to jockey for position along the glass or the Sky Deck railing.

2. Omoide Yokocho

Map Omoide Yokocho

A visit to Japan’s Shinjuku ward isn’t complete without passing through  Omoide Yokocho . The tight, gritty alleyway (aka, a yokocho) is home to a handful of ramshackle izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) serving some of Tokyo’s  best food . To capture the essence of the alley, photographers should head to the yokocho with their camera in hand and slowly meander the narrow street. Try using a monochrome mode, and be ready to catch a yakitori grill cook’s smile or a ramen chef serving customers.

3. Takeshita Street

Map Takeshita Street

For those wanting to take home kitschy Tokyo souvenirs, a trip to Harajuku’s famous Takeshita Street is in order. But before your snail’s crawl down the iconic boulevard, take a shot of the mob clogging the street. For the best image of the bustle, start at the elevated end of Takeshita street located right outside Harajuku Station. There you will be able to capture the bustling masses Tokyo is known for.

4. Meiji Shrine

Map Meiji Shrine

The calm expanse of  Yoyogi Park ,  Meiji Shrine  is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji, the first emperor of modern Japan, and his consort, Empress Shoken. The shrine complex rests in a large, forested area within Tokyo’s dense metropolis and is one of the  top things to visit  in the city. Walking paths force visitors into a relaxed stroll as they enter the shrine complex. Arrive in the late afternoon, just before closing time, to capture golden light accenting the traditional details of the Kaguraden (Hall of Sacred Music and Dance).

5. Tsukiji Fish Market

Map Tsukiji Fish Market

Enjoying fresh sushi is a quintessential Tokyo experience, but that tradition wouldn’t be possible without  Tsukiji . The hard-working fish market provides fresh catch to the Japanese capital and is one of Tokyo’s most interesting attractions. But photographing Tsukiji is not for the faint of heart. Photographers need to be keenly aware of their surroundings as seafood buyers and sellers run past. For quality images, show up well before sunrise when the day’s catch arrives. Shoot your way through the vast market, focusing both on labour-intensive scenes as well as the colourful seafood.

6. Shibuya Scramble Crossing

Map Shibuya Scramble Crossing

Shibuya Scramble Crossing is a Tokyo itinerary staple. Instead of making a crisp image of pedestrians crossing, use an alternative technique to come away with a photograph that isn’t cliche. Stand back and watch the world move around you before picking your shot. For a fresh perspective, opt for an abstract composition. Slow your camera’s shutter and add motion blur to show the landmark in a new way. Travellers with an iPhone can achieve a similar result by converting a “live photo” into a long exposure (find this option by swiping up on a live photo).

7. Tokyu Plaza Omotesando

Map Tokyu Plaza Omotesando

Perhaps the most Instagrammable place in all of Tokyo is the entrance to  Tokyu Plaza Omotesando . Covered with angular mirrors, the plaza’s entrance looks more like a carnival illusion than a shopping mall. Head up the escalators, and then turn your camera back out towards the bustling street. Attach a wide-angle lens to your camera for a fun-house frame or use your smartphone’s panorama function to fully capture the quirky essence of the Japanese capital.

8. Shinjuku Station

Map Shinjuku Station

Shinjuku Station  is the world’s busiest in terms of passenger numbers. The hub supports three-and-half million riders a day and is one of Japan’s main transportation arteries. To illustrate the pulse of the station, make your way through the sea of commuters to the platforms and take images of trains coming and going. Better yet, snag a still image of a Shinkansen bullet train before it quickly darts out of Tokyo.

9. Senso-ji Temple

Map Senso-ji Temple

One of Tokyo’s most colourful Buddhist temples,  Senso-ji Temple  is popular with locals and tourists. Completed in the year 645, Sensoji is Tokyo’s oldest house of prayer. But don’t expect your time at Sensoji to be solitary or contemplative. If photographing congestion isn’t your cuppa, aim your lens toward the temple’s exterior to create a strong image focused on Japan’s legendary Buddhist architecture.

The yummiest Japanese street food in Tokyo Ramen, anyone?

10. Mode Gakuen Cocoon Building

Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower  stands proudly in Tokyo’s Shinjuku district. Unsurprisingly, the building resembles a cocoon. The latticed structure is an integrated school building that houses students studying fashion, design, medicine and information technology. Use the midday sun to your advantage, and find an angle that allows for a creative composition that will highlight the building’s distinct facade.

11. Koishikawa Korakuen Garden

If you need a break from Tokyo’s hustle,  Koishikawa Korakuen Garden  offers some relief. The Edo Period garden is easy to find near Idaibashi station. An area of tranquillity in the bustling metropolis, Koishikawa Korakuen is one of Tokyo’s oldest and best kept Japanese gardens. Use the Koishikawa’s still pond to help frame a shot, or focus on the garden’s stepping stones for a stoic—and truly Japanese—image.

12. Tokyo Imperial Palace

The imposing structure of Tokyo’s  Imperial Palace  lets you know royalty is near. Surrounded by moats and massive stone walls, the palace marks the centre of Tokyo and is home to Japan’s Imperial Family. From Kokyo Gaien, the large plaza in front of the Imperial Palace, photographers have the opportunity to craft interesting frames. Stroll along the moat to find a composition that accentuates the palace’s impressive exterior.

Andrew Faulk  is a portrait and editorial photographer based in Tokyo, Japan. For the past decade, Andrew has spent his time living and working in Asia, shooting assignments for an array of international clients. He is a husband, father, and lover of fried food.
