Tokyo Encounter

Tokyo Encounter 2

Lonely Planet's Encounter guides are easy-to-use guides for city travel. Find the best attractions, restaurants, shops, theaters, galleries and more with our hyperlinked maps, top highlights and itineraries for short stays (1-3 days). With content broken out by neighborhood, Encounter guides make city travel easier than ever.

Top highlights include witnessing (and smelling) the Tsukiji Market, exploring the narrow alleys of the Golden Gai, attending a sumo tournament, gallery hopping in the Roppongi Art Triangle, shopping in Ginza or Shibuya, exploring the Edo-Tokyo Museum and the Ghibli Museum, visiting Meiji-Jingu or Senso-ji, wandering through Ueno-koen and the Tokyo National Museum—and more!

Local-expert perspectives include a designer's picks on her favourite shopping haunts and a rock climber's favourite spots to get outdoors just beyond the skyscrapers.
