tourist sites
Experience a very different side to the city as part of the “Cherry Blossoms in the Morning” promotion.
Hanami season began today in the capital, giving us a better idea of when to expect the glorious full bloom period.
But people aren’t happy about tourists trespassing and littering while they get the perfect photo.
This is where you’ll find Japan’s largest cave, a BBQ by the sea, and a rural hotel where Russian President Putin slept in a room behind bulletproof glass.
Day two of our epic adventure includes an ancient soy sauce factory, pressed sushi, and rabbit-eared samurai helmets.
View a National Treasure, stop off at a former school for samurai sons, and stamp on a stone pavement that “sings”.
Enjoy some of the best tourist sites and experiences around the country without spending a single yen.
We pay a visit to the new market to find out if the restaurants from Tsukiji are still as good as they used to be.
Photos and videos from first day at new fish market in Tokyo show a very different scene to Tsukiji.
Fishmongers, customers and tourists bid a sad farewell to the famous fish market, which was a Tsukiji mainstay for 83 years.
The famous performer even takes a walk on the sexy side by feasting on sushi with a crew of female dancers.
