Explore the real Tokyo

Tokyo is a huge city with many faces. It is amazing for me to see how fast this city is changing even within just one year. Once I am in town I have created this habit of turning my smartphone off and start exploring this concrete jungle without a plan. It’s one of the safest cities on planet earth and I did for example many night walks without feeling any danger. Night walks means I am starting at 11pm and walk through an unknown city district till 4 to 5am in the morning. I am enjoying this special atmosphere with the neon lights, hidden side streets and the quietness of little temple grounds at night. It is a unique experience. If I get lost I take a taxi back to the hotel or it brings me to a nearby train station. After many years and many kilometres of exploring my favourite city by foot I would like to share some nice spots/street scenes with you.

My tips for local activities

How about exploring the fascinating city Tokyo with a local guide? The personalized tour by our partner GetYourGuide can take between 5 - 6 hours. For more details check out this page >

Ueno Park

I came here for the cherry blossom season, night walks, festivals and to check out some world-class museums.

Azabu

If you would like to know where the rich and famous are living in Tokyo go to Azabu. I have never seen a higher Rolls-Royce density than at this place :)

Shinjuku - Harajuku - Shibuya night walk

If you can not get enough of the amazing sights of neon lights in Tokyo start your night walk at Shinjuku station and go down to Harajuku and Shibuya.

Sumida River at night

I come here very often (or every time when I am in Tokyo) because of the amazing sight of the Tokyo Skytree at night and the beautiful Asakusa area. Start your walk at Asakusa Station and stroll for hours along the river.

My favourite green area with a tourist density of 0

Arakawa Iwabuchi Green Area in Akabane Tokyo

The Arakawa Iwabuchi Green Area in Akabane at the border to Saitama along the Arakawa river is my number one spot for a relaxing stroll with friends or for a nice picnic. You will find a huge green space area there which is not really known by tourists.

Suburbia

The real life happens in the suburbs of Tokyo and not in the flashy and expansive downtown districts. Exploring these little streets were people mind their business is one of my highlights. I have discovered the best local restaurants there, friendly people and a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Geeks town

The manga culture is big in Japan. In Akihabara you can dive into this world and get lost in a huge variety if shops. Walking through this area during the day and especially at night is a must-do for me. Absorbing this enegry is fantastic.

Jogging Round

If you like to do some running I can only recommend you the track around the Imperial Palace. I did it at 5am in the morning and I could still see some crazy people doing the same:)
