  • TOKYO Has CHANGED: BEST 7.5 NEW Things To Do In TOKYO 2023!
    I have worked HARD for this video! I did a ton of research about new places to visit in Tokyo. Out of the dozens of new places you can visit in Tokyo, these are the best 7 “and a half” NEW places to visit in TOKYO! There of course going to be more places that will open up in the next year or two, with announcements already being made. However, If you plan on visiting in the next year, these will still hold true as the BEST NEW places you can go to in Tokyo 2022 and 2023!

    As im currently in tokyo here is a tipp for shibuya sky, book the ticket online or get there early to buy a ticket for the evening otherwise you might not get one, also after being on top go to route 2 where you can sit for free and enjoy the views while being inside ( on top you have to reserve and its cold plus you have to spend extra) additional information ... expect to spend some extra if you want to take pictures on some stylish spots...( have to take pics by a photograph that works there dont know though if you have to buy it ..)

    7. A gatchapon place
    6. A robot cafe
    5. A Harry Potter cafe
    4. Shibuya Sky
    3. An aquarium with pretty lights
    2. Ryu no myako inshokugai (a lot of restaurants in one place)
    0.5 - see through toilets
    1. Tokyo tower VR

      Ryu no myo inshokugai is a tourist trap. They'll charge you a cover charge without letting you know. And it's for each person. They make sure to put the tourists in the corner. Read review before you go.

    I just got back from Japan yesterday. It was refreshing to see it again after FIVE years! Tokyo Tower was a good ending to my journey, and it was the first thing I wanted to see EVER from the first time I set food in Japan back in 2016. Farewell Tokyo. It'll be a very long time before I come back to see the beautiful city again. Glad to have been there 4 times in my youth and to say goodbye as I head into the next chapter in my life as an older adult now.

      That aquarium puts goldfish in bowls which has been shown to be distressing for fish. Those aquariums are SO small! And why put nasty plastic colored flowers in them so they can break down and get in the water? I live here in tokyo and the amount of very low quality aquariums is not low… the Numazu deep sea aquarium is amazing though. And this Ginza one takes the cake on quality, honestly. The other picks for the vid are cool, and I didn’t know about the robot cafe. But that aquarium is wrong on so many levels

It's a shame others haven't had such a good experience there. There are a lot of other yokochos in Tokyo to check out, but this one was one of the newest. I didn't have a bad time here, but it you don't feel comfortable with the reviews, there are plenty more yokochos to check out ! Hope that cleared things up 👍
