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.

Tokyo Solo Trip: 3 Nights, 4 Days
✅Accommodation: Nine Hours Hamamatsucho (Capsule Hotel)
- The 10th floor lounge offers a view of Tokyo Tower, making it a great value for money place! ✅Transportation Pass: Metro Pass 72 Hours / This pass allows unlimited use of the Tokyo subway, so I enjoyed wandering around like Hong Gil-dong throughout my trip.

Day 1
Shiba Park - Asakusa Senshoji Temple - Asakusa Cultural Center - Sumida Park Night View

Day 2
Ginza Ramen Restaurant - Akihabara - Suzume Bridge (Hijiribashi) - Shinjuku 7-Eleven - Cross Shinjuku - Kura Sushi - Shinjuku Overpass - Roppongi Night View

Day 3
Little Nap Coffee Stand - Meiji Shrine - Shibuya Sky - Kinta Bookstore District - Azabudai Hills

Shibuya Sky is extremely popular during sunset, so you need to book at least three weeks in advance!
On rainy days, the fog makes it difficult to see, so I checked the weather while traveling in Tokyo and booked a daytime spot 2-3 hours in advance!
It was so much prettier than I expected! *.*…!

Having a transit pass allowed me to travel around without any inconvenience - I highly recommend the Metro Pass.

I've been to Tokyo several times, but I've always been unable to get tickets for Shibuya Sky. This time, I prepared ahead of time. I finally managed to secure a great evening slot, allowing me to experience the daytime flight viewing from the rooftop, the stunning sunset, and the nightfall as Shibuya's lights came on.

Let's start with the tickets. They went on sale two weeks ago, available on the official website and on trips. The evening slot was incredibly popular, practically selling out instantly. For safety reasons, backpacks, tripods, headphones, hats, and food were stored in the free lockers on the 46th floor. Lockers are closed if the rooftop is too hot or there's strong wind or heavy rain.

We arrived around 5:00 AM, and upon entering, we were greeted by the newly opened rooftop, which had cooled down. Taking the escalator upstairs, we were treated to a spectacular view of the city skyline and, on clear days, Mount Fuji. Resting on the central apron, we could watch flights take off and land at Narita Airport, right below the flight path. There were also great photo spots here; just sit down and snap photos of long legs against the Tokyo skyline.

Next, I recommend avoiding the sun upstairs. The Paradise Lounge here sells coffee, snacks, and alcoholic beverages. However, due to the crowds, seating is hard to come by.

Wait until sunset before returning to the rooftop. The distant lights gradually light up, and the Shibuya intersection begins to bustle. Take photos from the escalator, and any angle will yield beautiful shots.

After dark, the rooftop also emits a beam of light into the sky. Just like the Shibuyasky promotion, Shibuya is at your feet, Tokyo is in your eyes, connecting the world and becoming one with the sky.

📍Address: 14th Floor, 45th Floor, 46th Floor, Rooftop, 2 Chome−24−12, Tokyo, Shibuya, 150-6145, Japan
🚗The elevator to the first floor is a three-minute walk from JR Shibuya Station.

Here's my latest accommodation review! During this trip to Tokyo, we booked a hotel in the Ikebukuro area and stayed in one place for 6 days without changing hotels. 🏨 Kankokukan Business Hotel
- 900m walk to Ikebukoro Station Exit C6. - There are many minimarts nearby, so it's not crowded.
—-
✅ Pros
- Great location in the city, near the train station, shopping areas, minimarts, and restaurants. - Quiet at night. - No cigarette smoke smell. - Clean and tidy. - Towels are changed daily and toothbrushes are provided. - The bathroom has shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner that smell great and leave your hair very soft. - The shared kitchen has a microwave for heating food, a kettle, instant coffee, a water dispenser, and a refrigerator.
—-
❌ Cons
- The room is quite small. It can fit two 24-inch suitcases, but you have to unpack them one at a time. - No private bathroom. But there are restrooms on every floor. - There's only one shower room on the first floor, but I've never had to wait in line. It's always empty when I go. - The bed is probably 4 feet wide, so two women can sleep comfortably, but men might feel cramped. - I feel like the bed isn't as long as in Thailand. If you're very tall, it might be a bit small. However, the hotel is mostly frequented by foreigners (Westerners). - There's no elevator, so you have to carry your own luggage up to your room.
—-
💰 Cost of accommodation during our booking period (October 27 - November 2)
- Total of 6 nights - 11,872.04 / 6, which works out to 1,979 THB per night. - We went with 2 friends, so splitting the cost was about 990 THB per person. ⚠️ Prices vary by month, ranging from 13xx to 19xx THB.

The Fresa Inn Okachimachi Hotel, located within walking distance of Ueno, boasts a prime location and excellent quality. Check-in is direct from the second-floor dining area (the staff speaks Chinese), and there are sofas and chairs for relaxing. I saw business travelers using the lobby chairs for work. A thoughtful touch is the provision of toothbrush and toothpaste disposables, tea bags, and shower caps. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, making check-in possible 24 hours a day, even on red-eye flights.

Our room, located on the 7th floor, offered free Wi-Fi and a bedside outlet for charging your phone. While small, it was well-equipped. The bathroom provided shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, and there was a notice in the room indicating that drinking water was available. After a wild trip to Tokyo, I finally felt comfortable soaking in the bath after returning to the hotel. The bathroom was well-equipped, with a bidet that flushed and adjusted the seat temperature. Suitcases could be stored in the aisle without worrying about being able to fully open. There was a large mirror just before leaving the room for makeup.

On our last day, we headed to TeamLab Planets in Toyosu. The hotel offered luggage storage.

The hotel's motto is: FREsh + Sense + Amenity 👍👍👍
Fresa Inn (Sotetsu Fresa Inn) is a Japanese hotel chain. Operated by Sotetsu INN Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Sotetsu Group, the chain is headquartered in Yokohama, Japan.

Honestly, I don't really want to tell you this, but...

Did you know that airfares can be even cheaper with a little ingenuity, not just timing? ✈️

Just changing your departure and arrival airport can save you thousands of yen,
and even saving on accommodation costs by taking a night flight.

Using a shareholder discount coupon can surprisingly reduce the regular price.

In fact, professional travelers and travel influencers naturally combine these three tips
to create routes that are cheaper to the same destination.

Traveling can be completely different, depending on what you know.

This is a "permanent edition" to refer back to when searching for airfare.

This trip to Tokyo involved three of us.

We did a lot of research on luggage and comfort.

Japanese rooms are generally small, but the room at OMO was surprisingly spacious!

Our three suitcases could easily be unfolded (actually, even more 🤣).

The room was new, and the bed was very comfortable.

We had a very relaxing two nights. Choosing the right accommodation really can affect your travel mood 🩵

While the overall stay was comfortable and the location convenient,

there was a small disappointment when we returned to our room the next night 😞

📍Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter is a large-scale facility where you can experience the world of the Harry Potter films.
Opening in 2023 on the former Toshimaen shopping mall in Tokyo, it has become the second studio tour in the world after London, and has been much talked about.
I was excited to experience the world of my beloved Harry Potter, and the exhibits certainly didn't disappoint!

Inside the museum, actual sets, costumes, and props used in the films are on display, allowing you to immerse yourself in a world recreated in meticulous detail.
I was thrilled to be able to get up close and personal with fan favorites like the Hogwarts Great Hall and Platform 9 3/4.
I also got to learn about the behind-the-scenes production of the films through special effects and behind-the-scenes footage, and I felt like I had more time than I could handle.

There are also plenty of cafes and shops, so you can enjoy dining and shopping while immersed in the wizarding world.
This is a recommended spot not only for Harry Potter fans, but also for movie and entertainment lovers.
