Baggage storage, tourist information booths, ATMs, and currency exchange services are also available, along with specific services tailored to meet the needs of travellers who require special assistance.

Choosing your airport in Tokyo

If you plan to arrive or depart from Tokyo in the early hours, Haneda Airport may present a more convenient option. Located only about 30 minutes from downtown Tokyo, Haneda simplifies travel for those scheduled for early flights or arriving late at night. Visitors staying in central Tokyo will appreciate the reduced travel time, allowing for more restful sleep before their journey.

For those visiting during peak seasons, particularly in Spring and Autumn, Narita Airport can provide a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere upon arrival or departure. During these busy periods, such as cherry blossom season in April or the stunning autumn foliage in November, Haneda Airport tends to attract larger crowds. As a result, visitors arriving at Narita may find shorter lines at check-in, security, and immigration, creating a more pleasant travel experience.

Taxis are the most convenient way to travel from Narita International Airport, located 70 km northeast of the city, to the city centre, taking approximately 40 minutes. Other viable options include choosing one of the many trains travelling on the Keisei Narita Sky Access line, which offers a scenic 1-hour ride from the airport to Nihonbashi station in the central Chuo City district. For travellers who prefer a quicker public transport option, the Skyliner service is also available and can take you to central Tokyo in as quickly as 45 minutes.

To get to the city centre from Haneda Airport, the quickest method is by taxi, which takes just 15 minutes. The Keikyū Airport Line trains are also available at all airport terminals and take about 40 minutes to reach the heart of the city. There are also local buses that can take you to various areas in and around the city centre in about 20 minutes.

Spanning over 58 hectares, the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden features a blend of traditional Japanese, English, and French styles, making it a unique spot for relaxation and exploration. Visitors can stroll along picturesque pathways lined with cherry blossom trees, especially stunning during the spring bloom from late March to early April. The garden also hosts seasonal exhibitions, such as the Chrysanthemum Exhibition in November, showcasing vibrant floral displays. For those interested in history, Shinjuku Gyoen has a rich background, originally serving as a residence for the Imperial family. The tranquil ponds and scenic views provide excellent opportunities for photography and picnics. The garden is also home to a variety of wildlife, making it a great spot for nature enthusiasts.

Tokyo Disneyland offers an unforgettable holiday experience, blending Disney's timeless magic with Japanese hospitality. The park, open daily, features popular themed lands such as Fantasyland, Adventureland, and Tomorrowland. Each land is filled with thrilling rides, enchanting shows, and beloved Disney characters. Must-try attractions include Pooh’s Hunny Hunt, a groundbreaking trackless dark ride, and the exclusive Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, a beautifully crafted trackless ride known for its stunning visuals and music. For those seeking thrills, Splash Mountain provides a fun log-flume ride with exciting drops, and Star Tours: The Adventures Continue offers a unique version of the popular space-themed simulator. Visitors can also enjoy seasonal events like the "Disney Pal-Palooza" and the new nighttime spectacular "Reach for the Stars," which features dazzling projections and fireworks. 

Senso-ji , located in the historic Asakusa district, is Tokyo's oldest and most revered temple, making it a perfect final stop for those wrapping up their holiday. Founded in 628, Senso-ji is dedicated to the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, known as Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Each year, around 30 million visitors come to pay their respects, making it a vibrant spiritual centre.

Ponchiken , a restaurant that has consistently maintained its Michelin Bib Gourmand award for ten consecutive years since its 2012 opening, is celebrated for its unwavering commitment to quality and flavour. The menu's highlight is the Special Loin Pork Cutlet Set Meal, which features a perfectly fried, tender, and juicy pork cutlet, accompanied by rice and miso soup. Another essential dish is the Fillet Pork Cutlet Set Meal, praised for its delightful, melt-in-your-mouth texture. For a varied dining experience, the Mixed Fry Set Meal is ideal for sharing, offering an assortment of fried items like shrimp and minced meat cutlets. Additionally, the Simmered Loin Pork Cutlet with Egg Set Meal provides a comforting twist on the traditional tonkatsu (pork cutlet). Hibachi , located in the Shinjuku district, offers a deeply traditional and unique Japanese dining experience specialising in robata-yaki. This ancient charcoal grilling technique, literally meaning "fireside cooking," is executed with mastery at the restaurant. Food is expertly skewered and cooked vertically over intensely hot, premium charcoal, a controlled method that creates the distinctive texture and flavour the restaurant is known for.  The menu showcases high-quality ingredients and skilled preparation. A standout dish is the Whole-Grilled Blackthroat Seaperch (Nodoguro), a highly-prized fish in Japan, grilled whole to enhance its delicate texture and extraordinarily rich, exquisite flavour. Another essential taste is the Awaji Island Whole Roasted Onions, a surprisingly complex vegetarian option. In addition to these year-round classics, Hibachi features a dynamic seasonal menu to ensure the freshest fish and produce are always available.
