Travel to Tokyo

Tokyo is an electric capital where ancient tradition meets futuristic ambition. As Japan’s beating heart, it fuses the quiet charm of wooden shrines and historic districts like Asakusa with the pulsating energy of Shinjuku’s skyscrapers and Akihabara’s tech wonderland. Narrow alleyways hide ramen bars and quirky shops, while towering towers host Michelin-starred dining. From sumo stables to Shibuya’s chaos, Tokyo is endlessly layered, vibrant, and always one step ahead.

The restaurant offers a highly private dining environment. They even provide a dedicated crab-shelling service, so you can just sit back and enjoy huge bites of fresh crab meat 🙂↔️ Every king crab leg is incredibly meaty, sweet, and fresh.

Three of us went on this Tokyo trip together. We did a ton of research to ensure we had enough luggage space and comfort. Japanese hotel rooms tend to be quite small, but the room at this OMO hotel is surprisingly spacious! There's absolutely no problem laying three suitcases wide open (actually, even more than that🤣). The room is brand new, and the beds are super comfortable. We had a very relaxing stay over these two nights. Picking the right accommodation truly sets the mood for the whole trip🩵 Although the overall stay was very comfortable and the location was convenient, there was a slight disappointment regarding some minor details when we got back to our room the next night😞 Itinerary</ctag> Accommodation
Fairmont Tokyo 🏨 Location and Arrival This time I stayed at the Fairmont Tokyo, located in Shibaura, Minato Ward, about a 7-minute walk from Takeshiba Station and Hinode Station. From Narita Airport, take the airport bus to Tokyo Station, then transfer to the subway, which takes about an hour and a half. The area around the hotel isn’t particularly bustling but is quiet. It’s just a few minutes’ walk to Tokyo Bay to see the sea, and at night you can even catch a distant view of the Rainbow Bridge lights. A taxi ride to Ginza takes about 10 minutes, and Odaiba is also very convenient to reach. It’s the kind of location that offers tranquility amidst the city’s hustle and bustle. 🛏️ Room Experience I booked the standard room, which is 45 square meters. In a place as precious as Tokyo, this spaciousness is truly surprising. The first thing I did upon entering was to open the curtains. Although the floor isn’t very high, you can see the cityscape and a bit of the bay. What impressed me most was the bathroom: a marble bathtub with double sinks, and the bath products are from a high-end fragrance brand with a very luxurious scent. The bed is Fairmont’s signature "Fairmont Bed," moderately firm and soft. As someone who’s particular about beds, I actually slept through the night soundly. A small detail: on the first night, I noticed the makeup remover wipes weren’t replenished, so I called room service, and they delivered them in about 10 minutes with a very good attitude. 🍽️ Dining Sharing The hotel has 5 restaurants and 2 bars. I tried Kiln & Tonic on the 35th floor, which specializes in wood-fired pizza and charcoal-grilled seafood. Sitting by the window, you get a direct view of Tokyo Tower, and the night view is stunning. Breakfast is buffet style, with Japanese white rice, miso soup, Western bread, fresh fruit, and the quality is very consistent. There’s also a restaurant called Vue Mer on a high floor overlooking Tokyo Bay. Afternoon tea there is said to be famous, but I didn’t get a chance to try it this time, which is a bit of a regret. 🏊 Facilities and Leisure The pool is on a high floor, with both indoor and outdoor sections. I swam a few laps at night, watching the city lights outside, which felt very relaxing. The gym is open 24 hours and well-equipped. The spa combines inspiration from Japanese hot springs and modern aromatherapy. I had a soothing treatment that really helped relieve the fatigue from the long flight. 💡 Practical Tips 1. The hotel is 100% non-smoking, so smokers should take note. 2. Guests staying in executive rooms can use the executive lounge, which includes breakfast, afternoon tea, and cocktail hours, offering better value. 3. The concierge has staff who speak Chinese, making communication smooth, and they proactively provide information about nearby fireworks festivals. 4. The hotel allows pets, so if you’re bringing your furry friend, just confirm the policy in advance. ✨ Recommendation If your budget allows, the Fairmont is really worth it. Spacious rooms, convenient location, professional service—it has the luxury of a five-star hotel without feeling stuffy. Especially the bathroom design and bedding will appeal to detail lovers. It’s suitable for couples on vacation, family trips, or business travelers who want a comfortable stay. Next time I come to Tokyo, I will probably choose this place again.
Tokyo is a massive city where you could spend a week and still not see even half of its attractions. That's why many tourists face the same dilemma: where to go first? 1. Shibuya Crossing 🚦 This is arguably the most famous intersection in the world and one of Tokyo's iconic symbols. When the lights turn green at the same time, hundreds of people cross the street in every direction. It sounds simple, but experiencing it in person is truly spectacular. 📍 Address: Shibuya Crossing, Shibuya City 💡 Best time to visit is in the evening when the neon signs light up. 2. Senso-ji ⛩ Tokyo's most famous and oldest temple. Here you can experience authentic, traditional Japan: ✔ huge red gates ✔ giant lanterns ✔ Nakamise shopping street 📍 Address: 2 Chome-3-1 Asakusa, Taito City 💡 Come early in the morning to beat the tourist crowds. 3. Tokyo Skytree 🗼 The tallest tower in Japan and one of the best observation decks in the city. It offers an incredible panoramic view of Tokyo, which is especially breathtaking at night. 📍 Address: 1 Chome-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida City 💡 On a clear day, you can even spot Mount Fuji. 4. teamLab Planets ✨ One of the most unique places in Japan. It’s not a museum in the traditional sense, but an immersive space where you literally become part of the digital art installations. Mirrors, water, light, and projections create the illusion of stepping into an alternate reality. 📍 Address: 6 Chome-1-16 Toyosu, Koto City 💡 It's best to book your tickets in advance. 5. Meiji Shrine 🌳 An oasis of tranquility in the middle of a massive metropolis. Just a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Shibuya, you find yourself surrounded by a vast forest and traditional shrine gates. 📍 Address: 1-1 Yoyogikamizonocho, Shibuya City It’s one of the best spots to take a break from the fast-paced city life. 6. Shinjuku 🌃 If you want to see that iconic neon-lit Tokyo from the movies, this is the place to be. What to see: ✔ Kabukicho ✔ skyscrapers ✔ Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building observation deck ✔ endless city lights at night 📍 Area: Shinjuku City 7. Odaiba 🌉 A modern entertainment hub on an artificial island in Tokyo Bay. Highlights include: ✔ views of the Rainbow Bridge ✔ the giant Gundam statue ✔ shopping malls ✔ beautiful waterfronts 📍 Area: Odaiba, Tokyo Bay It’s especially beautiful here at sunset.

TOEI Kyoto Studio Park is the only film and television theme park in Japan where you can step right onto the set of period dramas! The streets of the Edo period are instantly brought to life. Recently, they've added a massive Evangelion base, plus a Halloween-exclusive autumn "Hyakki Yagyo" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) yokai festival. Whether you're into anime, cosplay, or dark fantasy, this is definitely a must-visit spot in Kyoto 🤩. 🎬 Must-Do Highlights & Limited Event Recommendations Evangelion Kyoto Base: Tailor-made for hardcore anime fans! The park features a life-size (15-meter tall) bust of EVA Unit-01—it's incredibly massive and badass 👍. You can snap a photo right from the palm of its hand and even challenge yourself to climb into the Entry Plug cockpit to test your sync rate! There are also regular live shows with smoke and epic sound effects for an ultra-immersive experience. It's guaranteed to rake in the likes on IG! Halloween-Exclusive "Hyakki Yagyo": During early autumn (mid-September to late November), the park transforms into a grand gathering of Japanese demons. On select weekend evenings and nights, the old Edo streets are taken over by incredibly detailed yokai like kappa, tengu, and bakeneko. Once the lanterns light up and the eerie music kicks in, traditional Western Halloween flips into an authentic, spooky Japanese magical thriller. The vibes are immaculate—definitely the prime time for check-in photos! 🕒 Hours & Admission · Weekdays 09:00 - 17:00 · During the autumn Hyakki Yagyo event, hours extend to 20:00 on weekends and national holidays 💸 Tickets · Adults: ¥2,800 · Junior High / High School Students: ¥1,400 · Children (ages 3 and up): ¥1,200 · Viewing the outside of the Evangelion base is free, but if you want to hop in the cockpit, we highly recommend booking a special combo ticket online in advance! 🚇 Detailed Transportation Routes! · Address: Uzumasa Nishihachiokacho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, 616-8163, Japan · JR Train: Take the Sagano Line (Sanin Main Line) from JR Kyoto Station to "Hanazono Station," then walk 13 minutes · Randen (Keifuku Electric Railroad): If you're on the Arashiyama route, get off at "Uzumasa-Koryuji Station" and walk for 5 minutes · Subway: Take the Tozai Line to "Uzumasa Tenjingawa Station," which is about a 12-minute walk 💡 Pro Tips for Maximizing the Fun · For the Hyakki Yagyo, go on a weekend or event holiday. Enter around 3:00 PM to explore the themed areas, then catch the evening illuminations and parade at dusk for guaranteed stunning shots · The Edo streets get pretty dark at night, so make sure your phone's night mode and stabilization gear are ready to go. The yokai parade is constantly on the move, so don't forget to use burst mode! You get to experience retro Edo, ultra-modern anime, and supernatural yokai all in one go! Be sure to lock in your dates and add this to your Kyoto itinerary~
Most people assume Japan flights become unaffordable during the year-end holidays. But while Thai Airways was selling at 29,520 baht and ANA at 28,325 baht, ZIPAIR came in at just 20,990 baht including 30kg baggage. That’s a saving of over 7,000 baht — enough for a night in Tokyo, a JR day trip, or quite a lot of ramen. The surprising part? 20,990 baht sits within the route’s historical value range even though December is usually one of the most expensive times of the year to visit Japan. For travelers who don’t need lounge access, free meals, or frequent flyer miles, ZIPAIR might be the smartest way to get to Tokyo this holiday season. #japantrip #japantravel #tokyotrip #tokyotravel #visitjapan #japan #tokyo #bangkoktotokyo #flightdeals #cheapflights #quietmiles #travelhacks #cheapflightdeals

Most visitors come to Asakusa for Senso-ji Temple, but the neighborhood is also full of charming cafés. During my walks around the area, these four spots stood out for their atmosphere, delicious food, and memorable desserts. ☕ February Kitchen Located near Hanayashiki, this cozy café is known for its generous lunch plates and satisfying desserts. Come hungry! ☕ Tengoku A nostalgic coffee shop famous for its pancakes and hot dogs. Don’t miss the adorable café logo stamped onto the pancakes. ☕ annorum cafe A beautiful two-story antique café with a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Their parfait, made with homemade cheesecake, is a must-try. ☕ FUGLEN ASAKUSA One of the easiest cafés for international visitors to enjoy. Grab a seat upstairs for lovely views over the streets of Asakusa while sipping excellent coffee. 💡 Tip: Asakusa gets busy throughout the day, so visiting cafés in the morning or late afternoon is often more relaxing. It’s also a great way to take a break between sightseeing spots. 📍 Asakusa, Tokyo #Asakusa #Cafe #Tokyo #Dessert #Coffee
If you want the absolute best luck in matchmaking, this is the place!! 
Despite being right in the middle of the city, stepping inside feels like entering a whole different world.
Today, I'll be introducing the charm of "Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin," an amazing power spot in Akasaka, in a blog-style post! 
🦊 A Paradise of "Fox Deities" Right in the Heart of Akasaka!?
Just a short walk from the subway "Akasaka-mitsuke Station" or "Nagatacho Station". Suddenly appearing amid the cluster of skyscrapers is a sight lined with rows of red paper lanterns. That is Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin. 
Actually, despite having "Inari" in its name, it's not a Shinto shrine but a "temple" (of the Soto Zen sect). Its official name is "Toyokawakaku Myogonji". 
The deity enshrined here is "Toyokawa Dakinishinten," a Buddhist deity riding a white fox. That's exactly why the temple grounds are filled with fox deities! 
✨ Must-See Highlights You Can't Miss!
1. The Breathtaking "Reikozuka" (Mound of Spirit Foxes)
As you stroll further into the grounds, you'll encounter an area lined with countless stone fox statues. You might be overwhelmed by its sheer impact at first sight, but surprisingly, it isn't scary at all—instead, a somewhat dignified and serene atmosphere fills the air. 
2. Frequented by Celebrities in Secret? "Geino Inari"
This spot has long been famous for bringing good fortune in improving artistic skills. If you take a close look at the lanterns around the grounds, you'll spot a slew of names of famous artists and TV talents everyone knows. It truly serves as a sanctuary for people in the entertainment industry. 
3. Complete Your Seven Lucky Gods Pilgrimage Right on the Grounds!
Believe it or not, you can pray to all of the "Edo Seven Lucky Gods" within these compact temple grounds.
Yuzu Inari: There's a rare tradition here where you can freely take home "Yuzu-kin" (lucky money) enclosed in a yellow pouch, and then return it with a little interest a year later. If you're aiming to boost your financial luck, you absolutely can't miss this! 
🥢 A Post-Worship Treat: "Inari Sushi"
After finishing your prayers, you simply must eat "Inari Sushi" at the souvenir shops on the grounds or at nearby eateries.
When you think of Toyokawa Inari, this is exactly what comes to mind, right? The sweet and savory simmered fried tofu pouches will seep right into your tired body. 
💡 Tips for Your Visit
Follow Temple Etiquette: Since it's not a Shinto shrine, do not clap your hands. Just bring your hands together in "Gassho" and pray quietly.
The Nighttime Vibe is Also Amazing: The atmosphere gets truly magical from evening onward when the lanterns are lit up, but please be mindful of the main hall's visiting hours.
When you're feeling worn out by the hustle and bustle of the city, just dropping by this wonderful place will naturally make you stand a little taller and feel refreshed.
On your next day off, why not let the "fox deities" in Akasaka heal you?

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this place! I had read reviews saying it was tiny and a bit dated! But it wasn't at all, I felt the decor was overall quite new! The staff were also super nice! It's right outside the subway station, with a FamilyMart next door and a Lawson right behind it! Super close to Kaminarimon! You can also see the Tokyo Skytree as soon as you step outside! The room is spacious enough to fully open two suitcases! The shower water pressure is great, and the temperature is stable. Oh, by the way! The hotel is near Exit A1, but that exit is stairs only. If you need an elevator, you have to use Exit A2 across the street! Overall, I highly recommend this place.
I wasn’t even looking for Tokyo. While browsing fares, I came across this direct Zipair flight from Singapore to Tokyo departing in just a few days. S$334 return with carry-on only. Even after adding 30kg of checked baggage, the fare comes to S$431 return. For a direct 7-hour flight to Japan, that’s a price you don’t see often, especially this close to departure. One thing I’ve learnt after taking more than 20 flights a year is that last-minute doesn’t always mean expensive. Airlines occasionally need to fill seats, and when that happens, opportunities appear. Have you ever booked a flight at the very last minute and ended up paying less than those who booked months earlier?
