About Tokyo
Tokyo is a food lover’s haven, with everything from cheap noodle bars to Michelin star restaurants to choose from. There are also plenty of fast food chains and international cuisine, like French, Italian and Thai. Tsukiji is the best area for top notch sushi - not surprising as this is where you'll find the famous Tsukiji Fish Market and wholesale fish auctions. A sight to behold. For fine dining, the Grand Hyatt Tokyo is known for great food in Tokyo. Tokyo is also a night owl’s haven, with upscale bars and night clubs all over Central Tokyo. Travellers can drink with locals at a Japanese-style watering hole or grab a pint at a British-style pub in Tokyo.
Shopping in TokyoThe pedestrian-only Takeshita Street is lined with fashion boutiques, though Roppongi Hills is the place to head to for high-end shopping. Akihabara is the best place to pick up electronics and anime goods, while Harajuku’s Antique Market is great for authentic antiques. Of course, shopping in Harajuku is an experience in itself with the colourful youth subculture on famous street lined with boutiques and the birthplace of many Japanese fashion trends. The most prestigious shopping malls in Tokyo are in Ginza, where travellers can find international labels like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Prada. You should also check out Shibuya, Shinjuku and Otaku shops for manga.
