Shopping Experiences

Ginza is one of Tokyo’s largest shopping districts, with boutiques, retail, markets, and sushi bars to keep you occupied. For a great shopping mall, visit Tokyo Solamachi. Not only is there great dining and shopping, but also an aquarium and planetarium.

Tokyo’s Ueno Park

Ueno Park is a large park in central Tokyo with zoos, museums, and iconic cherry blossom trees. Spanning over 133 acres, there’s plenty of exploring to do. Visit the ruins of the Kan'ei Ji Buddhist Temple, destroyed in the 1868 Boshin War.

Unique Architecture

Located in the district of Minami-Aoyama, home to a pineapple cake shop, this cake shop hosts one of the most brilliant yet underrated pieces of architecture you can find in Tokyo. The building was designed to resemble a bamboo basket using a traditional Japanese joint system ‘Jigoku-Gumi’.
