Attractions range from the Tokyo National Museum to the Toshogu Shrine via the lotus-filled Shinobazu Pond – alongside first-rate people watching opportunities. As the home of more than 1,000 cherry blossom trees, the park is a prime springtime sakura-watching spot for Tokyoites as well as visitors.

4. Tsukiji Fish Market – An early morning fish market may not sound like the most conventional of tourist attractions but Tsukiji Fish Market has become an unlikely draw for visitors. With its endless rows of frequently unidentifiable maritime species, bustling workers and a rowdy pre-dawn tuna auction, it is the perfect antidote for the jet-lagged. Its highlight is undoubtedly tucking into the freshest sushi breakfast possible in one of the venues that cling to the edges of the market.

5. Omotesando – Take a stroll along the broad tree-lined Omotesando boulevard for a spot of window-shopping and a bite-sized summary of Japanese modern architecture. It is along this street that a growing number of international fashion houses have commissioned Japan’s most cutting edge architects to create flagship stores – from Toyo Ito’s leaf motif Tod’s store to the sleek Louis Vuitton by Jun Aoki.
