Tokyo City is one of the most crowded cities in the world. It’s population is estimated around 10 million in 2019 and still it keeps on growing in numbers every year. The city is a big tourist attraction aswell! Estimated tourists in the year 2019 are around 16 million. From their architectual designs, to their fascinating foods… From there foods, to there historical culture there is a lot of places to visit in Tokyo. Here in this essay, today I am going to talk about which places to visit for amazing views, where to get the best sushies in the town and a lot more!

Where to stay?

Worrying about where to stay? You don’t have to! No one can top noch the incredible services that the Japanese give. But if you are asking for something more, I have gathers some places for you to stay alone or stay with your friends. Though I should add that you will probably not stay in the hotel much as there is a lot of places to visit.

1)Space Hostel Tokyo

This hostel is one of the most rated hostels in Japan. What makes this hostel special from the others? The rooms they provide of course! If you are not familiar with Japanese capsule hotels, this one should do the trick. The capsule hotels are quite small and are mostly used for one night stands but this hostel is not a capsule hostel but still it’s quite compact. With 4 bunkbeds in each room you may have a pleasant stay with your friends. Or if you prefer to stay alone the hostel provides any sort of protection for your personal items. Safes, personal wardrobes… you name it they have it! The only bad side of this hostel is that it doesn’t provide too many showers. You may have to wait for midnight to access them or you may have to use public showers.

2)First Cabin Atogoyama

This hotel is only for alone travelers I am afraid. The Hotel provides one room for a person. You have your own cabin rooms and it also has safes and a personal wardrobe. Unfortunately as the previous hostel had had the same problem this one has a shower problem. Eventhough it is cheap the hotel houses a public shower which many people find awkward. But if you do not worry about smelling this hotel should do the trick.

Where to visit?

Now let us begin our journey! You have found the perfect place to stay but you still don’t know where to go? Worry not! I have searched best places to visit and here they are for you to explore.

1)Tokyo Tower

Located at Shiba-koen district in the province of Minato is Tokyo Tower which many people refer as ‘Fake Eifell Tower’. Though it is unfair to say that as Tokyo Tower is more than a tourist attraction. It is also used as a communication tower. And also the real ‘Fake Eifell Tower’ is located in Las Vegas. The Tokyo Tower is the second tallest building in Japan but it is the most iconic one for sure. It gives 360 degree view of the city and they say that it look better on night.

2)Senso-ji Temple

A buddist temple build around 7th century and the oldest one located in Tokyo. It’s dedicated to Kanonn Bosatsu, a buddist templar. It’s considered to be the most spiritual place in the city. It has more than 30 million visitors every year.

3)The Imperial Palace

Home to the Emperor of Japan and his family come the Imperial Palace. It’s considered to be more expensive than all the the estates combined in California. It is 1.2 kilometer square and holds 7 unique gardens.

Where to eat?

Now the moment all of you have been waiting for: where to eat. There is a billion places in Tokyo to eat. But I am only going to be including the best of the best. And for our sake of course I am going to write about cheap places. Here they are!

1)Genki Sushi, Shibuya

This restaurant is especially one of my favourites. Because your purchases come automatically with a rail system to your seat. The only reason the servants work is to give their drinks to the people.

2)Mendekoro Hanu

Mendekoro Hanu or Hanu for short is a ramen retaurant. Their soy sauce ramen is the most loved meal in their restaurant. I highly recommend going there as ramen is one of the most liked meals in Japan. YUM!

3)Akasak Fukiniku

For some truly delicious classic unagi(eel), in which they steam the eel before grilling it, you can’t go wrong with Akasaka Fukinuki. This beautiful, traditional restaurant might be one of the best eel experiences in Tokyo! The method they use is the classic Kanto style. I have heard that it makes the eel more delicious
