4 Days in Tokyo
Digital Art, Temples, and Tasting Menus

February 13, 2025
Tokyo is a neon-lit megacity of 14 districts, each with its own personality. Temples and historic shops cluster in Asakusa; Ginza is known for upmarket department stores (with marvelous basement food halls); Shibuya is a business hub; and kawaii (youth) culture and themed cafes reign in Harajuku. The Japanese capital manages to be crowded, yet orderly and efficient; steeped in tradition, but also trendsetting and tech-obsessed. Things to do in Tokyo range from digital art installations to kabuki theater, and you’ll find memorable meals at every price point.
Remember that you can explore freely with no foreign transaction fees1 on purchases made abroad made with your Platinum® Card.

Vegan Ramen UZU Tokyo
Chef Ryo Kataoka’s Kyoto sensation has branched out to Tokyo and set up shop within the plaza of digital art exhibition teamLab Planets (vegan-uzu.com). Here, one of the most beloved Japanese comfort foods – ramen – is remade in creative vegan fashion. The soup base is oat milk combined with miso, ginger, garlic, and sesame paste and topped with colorful vegetables. Vegan ice cream and teas are also available.
teamLab Planets
Make your way through a dazzling collection of multi-sensory art displays at teamLab Planets, dreamt up by a collective of artists founded in Tokyo back in 2001. There are two enchanting gardens and a series of water artworks, and music synchronizes with the digital displays. Viewers encouraged to engage with the work, go barefoot, and become one with this new universe.
Izakaya-Hopping in Shinjuku
Brush off any jetlag; you don’t want to sleep on the izakaya experience. These informal bars serving small plates and skewers are a quintessential part of Tokyo dining. Sample seven offerings in the bustling Shinjuku area with Ninja Food Tours. Along the way, your guide will divulge neighborhood secrets and stop at Tokyo’s neon town, Kabukicho.
Book your tickets at ninjafoodtours.com.
Dawn Avatar Robot Café
Ory Laboratory is on a mission to enable humans to participate more fully in society. Along with a line of tech products, in 2021, it opened The Dawn Avatar Robot Café, where staff can work from their homes or hospitals by controlling a team of avatar robots (dawn2021.orylab.com). Reserve in advance to sit in the OriHime Diner area where a robot will serve you from an extensive savory and sweet menu. There’s also a more casual bar counter and robot barista service for your coffee fix.
Landmarks of Asakusa
Begin at Sensoji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo, which draws Buddhists and tourists, who all must navigate a long approach of souvenir shops to reach the Thunder Gate entry (senso-ji.jp). Move on to a modern marvel, Tokyo’s 2,000-foot-tall Skytree (tokyo-skytree.jp) and its two observation decks.
Break for creme-filled melon pan sweet buns and fresh bread, sold straight from the oven at Asakusa Kagetsudō (asakusa-kagetudo.com). Then stroll through Ueno Park, which offers up lawns, ponds, museums, a five-story Pagoda, and spectacular cherry blossoms come spring (kensetsu.metro.tokyo.lg.jp).
Inshotei
Revel in the ambiance as you sit down to dine in a building dating from the late 19th-century Meiji period, with serene views of Ueno Park (innsyoutei.jp). The kitchen serves kaiseki-style (multi-course) meals, including traditional chicken sukiyaki (a Japanese-style hot pot with watercress). At lunchtime, you can also opt for a three-tiered bento box of delicacies.
Learn About the Art of Noodles or Sake
Private Soba Noodle Making Workshop
Don a chef's uniform and listen up: first, you will learn about soba flour and its varieties; then you will be taught how to knead the dough and cut the noodles precisely. After this precise exercise, help prepare the handmade soba noodles and sample tempura, soba-tofu, and soba ice cream. As you taste and learn, you’ll also get to know the hosts, who have more than 30 years of experience in the art of Japanese noodle-making.
Book your experience at deeperjapan.com.
Sake Tasting with a Local Sake Sommelier
Japanese culture is full of nuances, and it’s no different when it comes to understanding the country's favorite drink. During this tasting experience, join a local Sake Sommelier in Tokyo's Shinjuku district to brush up on the basics of sake drinking as you sample brews from six family-owned breweries. You will learn how temperatures and vessel styles effect the flavors of each sake and how to pair them with food.
Book your experience at ninjafoodtours.com.
Dine on Korean Barbecue or in the Company of Ninjas
Jumbo Yakiniku Shirokane
Hidden in the narrow streets of Shirokane, this Korean barbecue destination serves Japanese Wagyu beef and other cuts paired with sides like kimchi, raw eggs, bean sprouts, and pickled cucumbers (valuet.co.jp). Choose your favorite varieties of meat to sizzle on the grill and enliven with a touch of wasabi or any of the signature savory sauces.
Ninja Tokyo
In feudal Japan, a ninja was a secret agent or mercenary whose functions included ambush, reconnaissance, and espionage. Now you can add performers of tableside magic to the list. At this theme restaurant with hidden doors and a mysteriously dark atmosphere, there are tasting menus, including a kids-only version, and food is presented with flair by staff trained in martial arts, ready to wow with tricks and demonstrations (ninja-tokyo.jp).
Ghibli Museum
Director Hayao Miyazaki designed this museum, which brings to life the enchanting world of Studio Ghibli. While it’s not a theme park, there’s a sense of whimsy, including a replica of the giant cat bus from one of his films and a life-size robot in the rooftop garden. Original sketches give insight into the creative process, and the Saturn Theater screens a short animated feature.
Buy your tickets at l-tike.com.
Find a Taste of Japan in Every Dish
Ichiran Shibuya
This beloved no-frills institution for tonkotsu (pork-based) ramen is ready to satisfy cravings (ichiran.com). Purchase a ramen ticket from the machine and you’ll be seated in an individual cubicle or next to your group then customize your soup and wait for its delivery. Savor the silky dashi broth and perfect texture of the noodles and top it off with your desired level of spicy red sauce. The long queue moves quickly.
Ryan
The beautiful hardwood counter surrounding the kitchen is the place to sit at Ryan to watch the experienced chefs slice sashimi and prepare their famous Soba noodles (tysons.jp). Try the sashimi as an appetizer, so soft you can barely pick it up with your chopsticks, before ordering from the extensive list of Soba dishes on the a la carte menu – or go all out with the tasting menu of eight or nine small courses.
Nezu Museum
A bamboo-lined pathway brings you to architect Kengo Kuma’s striking building with double-height interiors that show off Japanese and East Asian art. The collection spans thousands of years, including ceramics, lacquer, calligraphy, textiles, sculpture, and armor. Save time to wander the Japanese landscape gardens, with ponds and statues, a masterpiece in their own right.
Buy your tickets at (nezu-muse.or.jp).
Sights and Sounds of Shibuya
Awe-inspiring shrines, an Insta-famous intersection, a statue honoring a faithful dog, and more sensory overload characterize the Shibuya district. Have some fun losing yourself in the hustle and bustle as you make your way from one highlight to the next.
This shrine is dedicated to the emperor who unified Japan and moved the capital to Tokyo in the 1800s (meijijingu.or.jp). It’s a textbook example of Shinto architecture, outfitted with multiple shrine gates, gardens, and a museum of treasures. As you enter, you can’t miss the impressive collection of sake barrels, donated by brewers from across Japan and representing the connection between the gods and the revered rice wine.
With thousands of people fanning out in all directions, this scramble crossing is no regular intersection. Position yourself up in a café or shop overlooking the crowds to observe how Tokyoites manage the seemingly impossible task of not bumping into each other. Then take your place with the street-level crowd and, as the traffic stops, throw yourself into the fray.
Surrounded by shops and restaurants, this popular meeting spot is named for the “Faithful Dog Hachiko” statue erected in 1934 in memory of a dog who met his owner at the station daily after work – and continued on for nine years after the owner’s death.
Shibuya Scramble Square skyscraper is the tallest in the area and Shibuya SKY is its 360° open-air observation deck (shibuya-scramble-square.com). As well as breathtaking views, the rooftop features a hammock and an observation compass to help you identify significant landmarks in the distance.
Duck behind Hikarie Tower and into Nanzuka, a basement art gallery that champions postwar Japanese artists and emerging talents in a range of styles: portraits or pop art, funny or strange, vivid or muted (nanzuka.com).
Sakurai Tea Experience
Owner Shinya Sakurai trained for 14 years to become a tea master and watching how he skillfully prepares your brews is truly mesmerizing. There are several tasting and pairing options, chosen by the tea master himself from all over the country and prepared in the traditional way with essential oils, blossoms, and other elements to soothe and uplift the spirit.
Book your experience at sakurai-tea.jp.
Discover Harajuku
Pulsing with energy, Harajuku is where eccentric street fashion, “kawaii” (cute) culture, and trend-driven cafes thrive. Go-to snacks include fluffy Japanese pancakes at Micasadeco & Café (micasadecoandcafe.com) and sweet cream and fruit-filled crepes. People watching among jostling crowds and along the labyrinth streets lined with vintage and secondhand boutiques can take its toll. When you’re ready for a breather, you’ll find peaceful grounds of Meiji Jingu shrine and Yoyogi Park (tokyo-park.or.jp) coexisting right nearby
Take a Seat at These Show-stopping Restaurants
Florilège
A meal at Florilège is more like an evening at the theater (aoyama-florilege.jp). The massive open kitchen and bar is center stage, and diners are blown away by the dance of the culinary masters working behind it. Executive Chef Hiroyasu Kawate plays the starring role in creating the French-influenced tasting menus. It holds its own as one of the world’s best restaurants.
Den
Chef Zaiyu Hasegawa puts a creative take on moden kaiseki cuisine at Den, where dishes are often laced with humor (jimbochoden.com). Just imagine a salad made with more than 20 vegetables garnished with an emoji-shaped carrot and chef’s signature Dentucky Fried Chicken. Without being pretentious, Den delivers a standout dining experience.
Explore a Historic Market or Sumo Traditions
Tsukiji Outer Market
Once a high-end market that only catered to cooking professionals and wholesale ingredients, Tsukiji now welcomes all epicurean explorers, with many vendors opening as early as 5am. Stalls and casual restaurants sell everything from fresh seafood and rare Japanese vegetables to high-quality cookware and tea sets (tsukiji.or.jp).
Exclusive Sumo Training Experience
Sumo wrestling is as emblematic of Japanese culture as geishas or anime, and during this special experience, you’ll witness a professional training session alongside an expert guide and translator. Learn the secrets of the sport, including its link with Shinto spirituality and what it takes to be successful in the ring. There’s also an opportunity to meet the wrestlers.
Book your experience at deeperjapan.com.
Ginza Sushiko Honten
A rich history of over 120 years of serving sushi using Edo-style techniques plus superb ingredients and a dash of creativity have added up to a Michelin star for Ginza Sushiko Honten (ginza.jp). Prepare for a two-hour omakase extravaganza and be sure to book in advance as there are only 10 coveted seats.
Shopping in Ginza
Ginza is famous for its upmarket boutiques and architecture. Itoya’s flagship stationery store counts two buildings and a total of 18 floors with 14 themed selling spaces, pop-up events, and even an indoor vegetable farm (ito-ya.co.jp). Dover Street Market is another hub, with Japanese brands like A Bathing Ape and Comme des Garden represented, plus the delightful Rose Bakery (ginza.doverstreetmarket.com). You’ll also find the world’s biggest Muji store (muji.com) for functional home accessories and fashion.
Sip and Savor Bespoke Cocktails or Matcha Delights
Bar High Five
Cocktail enthusiasts have Bar High Five high on their Tokyo wish lists (barhighfive.com). Rather than be given a menu, patrons are asked a series of questions about their taste and preferences that result in bespoke cocktails conjured up on the spot. The space is small and classy, with an intimate atmosphere.
Nakamura Tokichi Honten
This boutique sells a multitude of matcha tea varieties while the cozy café in back demonstrates how this finely ground powder of green tea leaves is essential to Japanese gastronomy (global.tokichi.jp). From salty plates like noodles, soba, and udon to the desserts such as jelly and cheesecake, it’s all made here with matcha.
Kabukiza Theater
The art of kabuki, a classical Japanese dance-drama performance, has captivated local and international audiences for centuries. Kabukiza keeps the tradition alive by hosting enchanting shows almost every day. The Kabukiza Gallery, located on the Kabukiza Tower's 5th floor, casually introduces the magic of Kabuki to visitors with displays of props and costumes.
Opt for Vegetable-Based Dishes or Sushi
Mutsukari
Mutsukari is one of the top vegetable-based restaurants in Tokyo, with an open kitchen that lets you in on the action. Some of the creative, unique dishes include terrine jelly made from local vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, sesame tofu, and vegetarian soups. The interior is beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed.
Sushi-Ya
Helmed by talented young chef Takao Ishiyama, Sushi-Ya seats eight lucky diners for a memorable meal of sushi along with other seafood dishes (pocket-concierge.jp).

American Express is not liable for the acts or omissions of Hosts, their properties (including homeowners), or third parties acting for or on behalf of Hosts or homeowners. American Express is not the provider of the properties offered for rental and does not collect taxes or remit taxes to applicable tax authorities. Tax amounts displayed include an estimated amount that Hosts are to bill for applicable government-imposed taxes and fees. Hosts are responsible for providing a final receipt to Card Members upon request and remitting the government-imposed taxes and fees to relevant tax authorities.
$200 Hotel Credit: Basic Card Members on U.S. Consumer Platinum Card Account are eligible to receive up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year when they or Additional Platinum Card Members use their Cards to pay for eligible prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts® and The Hotel Collection bookings made through American Express Travel (meaning through amextravel.com, the Amex® App, or by calling the phone number on the back of your eligible Card) or when Companion Platinum Card Members on such Platinum Card Accounts pay for eligible prepaid bookings for The Hotel Collection made through American Express Travel (meaning through amextravel.com, the Amex® App, or by calling the phone number on the back of your eligible Card). Purchases by both the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on the Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, the total amount of statement credits for eligible purchases will not exceed $200 per calendar year, per Card Account. Fine Hotels + Resorts® program bookings may be made only by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic Platinum and Additional Platinum Card Members. The Hotel Collection bookings may be made by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic and Additional Platinum Card Members and Companion Platinum Card Members on the Platinum Card Account. Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Card Members are not eligible for the benefit. To receive the statement credits, an eligible Card Member must make a new booking using their eligible Card through American Express Travel on or after July 1st, 2021, that is prepaid (referred to as "Pay Now" on amextravel.com and the Amex App), for a qualifying stay at an available, participating Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection property. Bookings of The Hotel Collection require a minimum stay of two consecutive nights. Eligible bookings must be processed before December 31st, 11:59PM Central Time, each calendar year to be eligible for statement credits within that year. Eligible bookings do not include interest charges, cancellation fees, property fees or other similar fees, or any charges by a property to you (whether for your booking, your stay or otherwise).
Statement credits are typically received within a few days, however it may take 90 days after an eligible prepaid hotel booking is charged to the Card Account. American Express relies on the merchant’s processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. If there is a delay in the merchant submitting the transaction to us or if the merchant uses another date as the transaction date then your purchase may not earn the statement credit benefit for the benefit period in which you made the purchase. For example, if an eligible purchase is made on December 31st but the merchant processes the transaction such that it is identified to us as occurring on January 1st, then the statement credit available in the next calendar year will be applied, if available. If you have transferred to a different Card at the time the merchant submits the transaction, you may not receive the statement credit. Statement credit(s) may not be received or may be reversed if the booking is refunded, cancelled, or modified. If the Card Account is cancelled or past due, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible, you will not receive the statement credits. For example, your transaction will not be eligible if it is a booking: (i) made with a property not included in the Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection programs, (ii) not made through American Express Travel, or (iii) not made with an eligible Card. Participating properties and their availability are subject to change. If American Express, in its sole discretion, determines that you have engaged in or intend to engage in any manner of abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this benefit, American Express will not have an obligation to provide and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance. Please refer to AmericanExpress.com/FHR and AmericanExpress.com/HC for more information about Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection, respectively.
