The 10 Best Visitor Centers in Tokyo, Kanto

May 21, 2021 Terina Blouin

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

My wife and I were told we should watch a Japanese Show called Midnight Tokyo Diner before we left Canada. We loved the series so we wondered whether could find the location. We were most fortunate to drop by the tourist information Centre at the Shibuya Station. It was the great detective work of Kana and Chihiro that gave us the location of this small restaurant ( room for 6-7 people) In the Golden Gai area. We were given lots of great ideas around the Shibuya and Shinjuku area. Thank you to our new friends in Tokyo. If you want some great information from very friendly and informative people don’t hesitate to drop by. You will be very glad you did!

Shibuya-san

Shibuya-san is a tourist information centre located on the ground floor of the Shibuya Fukuras building, right where buses from Narita and Haneda airports arrive in Shibuya. As the very first sliver of Tokyo that travellers experience upon arrival, Shibuya deserves more than just your average tourist center – it needs a hub that provides information you can’t find online. Shibuya-san is that and more: it also functions as a gallery during the day and as a bar at night, inviting locals and visitors to interact in a laid-back setting. It’s where you can learn things that only Tokyoites know and meet people who open up new opportunities. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, Shibuya-san, on the ground floor of Shibuya Fukuras, is always worth the detour.

I really appreciated the Japan Gourmet Tour experience. I had the chance to learn more about the Japanese food and his history and I could appreciate some tastes I wasn't familiar with. In addition, I'd like to thank the two girls who guided us inside Coredo Muromachi. Prepared and entertaining.
