There are many categories, like its food, music, castles, arts, temples/shrines, nature, gardens, night life, museums, shopping, history, and a lot more.Visiting a hot spring (onsen) at least once would be an exc...

What places in and around Tokyo are very cultural? (Shrines, parks etc.)
How about Sensoji Temple and Zojoji Temple? Asakusa can see the sky tree while riding a rickshaw and Zojoji can be seen with Tokyo Tower. It is recommended that the light up of the night is beautiful. Because there are also many tourists, I think that English can be communicated somewhat.
