[2023] Ranking of the Top 32 Recommended Sightseeing Spots for Foreigners in Tokyo

How to choose sightseeing spots for foreigners in Tokyo

Here are the “4 points” you must check when choosing sightseeing spots for foreigners in Tokyo.

(1) Choose a spot according to your experience in Japan.

The first thing to check is your previous visit to Japan. Whether a first-time or repeat visitor, you will want to find a sightseeing spot to satisfy your needs. Please note that some facilities may be closed or closed for holidays, so check the official website for the latest information.

If this is your first visit to Japan, start with the standard spots.

If this is your first visit to Japan, we recommend starting with the standard tourist spots. Asakusa, where you can experience Japanese culture and enjoy various Japanese food, Ryogoku Kokugikan, where you can learn about Japan’s national sports, and the ever-popular Tokyo Tower, are spots you should keep in mind.

Asakusa, in particular, offers a visit to Senso-ji Temple, shopping and eating at Nakamise and, a little further afield, the retro amusement park “Asakusa Hanayashiki.” If this is your guests’ first visit to Japan, start with the standard tourist attractions to let them fully enjoy the Japanese atmosphere.

If they are repeat visitors, suggest rare and newest spots.

If you are a repeat visitor who has visited Japan many times, why not pick up rare or newest spots? For relatively new sites, we recommend the Tokyo Sky Tree, the tallest tree in Japan, or the Toyosu Market, which has relocated to a new location.

There are also a variety of other places to visit, such as the “Mitakanomori Ghibli Museum” where you can experience the world-class Ghibli anime, “Mt. Takao” which has been awarded a Michelin star as a sightseeing spot, and “Katsushika Shibamata Teishakuten” where you can enjoy the world of Tora-san from the Guinness World Records acclaimed movie “Otoko wa Tsuraiyo.

Because they are repeat visitors, we would like them to fall in love with Japan even more by visiting slightly rare spots and the latest spots where they can enjoy the same sensations as Japanese people.

2) Choose according to your guests’ objectives and tastes.

For guests to enjoy Japan to the fullest, they must find the sights they want to visit. We have picked a few reference points to help you choose the spot that best suits your guests’ purposes and tastes.

If shopping is the objective, “Ameyoko,” “Akihabara,” and “Ginza” are the best places to go.

If your purpose is shopping, try to find an area that matches what you want to buy. If you want to browse various products, from food to clothing to precious metals, “Ueno Ameyoko Shopping Street” is recommended. Foreign guests will be delighted by this unique Japanese shopping district, where you can shop at great prices and enjoy a lively atmosphere.

Ginza is also a good choice for fashion and brand-name goods, as is Akihabara for electronics and anime-related products. These locations are ideal for foreign visitors who want to shop and purchase high-quality Japanese products.

Kabuki-za Theater” and “Ryogoku Kokugikan” if you want to experience Japanese culture

If you are interested in Japanese culture, we recommend visiting places such as “Kabuki-za” and “Ryogoku Kokugikan” where you can enjoy the unique culture of Japan. Kabuki” and “Sumo” are words that often come up when foreign guests think of Japan.

If you know when you plan to visit Japan, reserve tickets to watch or spectate. Even if you don’t have access, there are plenty of museums, galleries, and souvenir stores to visit. It is the perfect spot for visitors to enjoy Japan’s deep and unique culture.

Mt. Takao” and “Shinjuku Gyoen” for outdoor enthusiasts

If your guests love the outdoors, you will want to introduce them to the beautiful parks and natural mountains of Japan. Tokyo also has many outdoor spots to boast about. In particular, the Michelin-starred “Mt. Takao” is a great place to enjoy the outdoors and taste the famous Tororo soba noodles and dumplings.

The vast Shinjuku Gyoen Garden is also attractive. With its beautiful Japanese and Western-style gardens, spacious and comfortable lawns, cafes, restaurants, tea rooms, and other facilities, it is no wonder that many foreign guests spend the entire day here.

3) Seasonal spots are also available!

There are many landscapes in Japan that show different expressions depending on the four seasons. For this reason, it is recommended to choose sightseeing spots that match the seasons.

Tokyo has many places of interest where you can enjoy the seasons. In spring, look for cherry blossom viewing spots. Enjoy the coolness of nature parks such as canyons or the ocean in summer. In autumn, look for scenic spots with autumn leaves. And in winter, look for places where you can enjoy snowy landscapes.

Ueno Onshi Park,” known for its cherry blossoms, and “Meiji Shrine,” where you can see the autumn leaves along the ginkgo trees, are recommended spots. Also, check out “Yasukuni Shrine” with its magnificent cherry blossoms and “Todoroki Gorge,” a remarkable urban oasis.

4) Consider the balance with other places to stay.

It is also essential to consider where else you will visit in Japan besides Tokyo and decide on a balance. For example, if you are also going to Kyoto, choose a different spot in Tokyo that is not a shrine or temple.

Also, if you enjoy outdoor activities in spots rich in nature, such as Hokkaido or Nagano, choose shopping and other town spots in Tokyo. Of course, there is always the option of combining all of your tastes into the same lineage, but if you choose the right balance, you will be able to enjoy a wide variety of Japanese attractions.
