Tsukiji fish market to Toyosu Station 2026: Best Way to Travel, Local’s Tips & Points to Be Careful
Tokyo is home to countless spots, from bustling entertainment districts like Shibuya and Harajuku, to neighborhoods that come alive at night like Shinjuku and Roppongi, to areas that preserve traditional old-town charm like Asakusa and Kanda.
While Tokyo is a city packed with appeal, it's also true that increasing tourism development has made it harder for visitors to experience the "real Tokyo." In other words, instead of enjoying Tokyo like a local, tourists are often limited to experiencing only the touristy side of the city.
That's exactly why I want you to explore the city with locals who know the real Tokyo. With tours from Magical Trip—winner of Tripadvisor's The Best of The Best in both 2024 and 2025—you can make that happen.
The Tokyo Bar Hopping Night Tour in Shinjuku, a back-to-back winner of The Best of The Best for two consecutive years, lets you safely enjoy spots beloved by locals in famous Shinjuku areas like Kabukicho and Omoide Yokocho.
If you're interested in Japanese culture, I recommend the Tokyo Sumo Morning Practice Tour in Ryogoku, where you can visit a sumo stable—something even most Japanese people have never experienced—or the Asakusa Cultural Walk & Matcha Making Tour, where you can stroll through Asakusa while learning about Japanese culture from your guide.

A taxi is the fastest and most comfortable transportation method. We especially recommend it if you have large luggage or are traveling as a group.
