Top Sights & Attractions in Tokyo

Tokyo Tower

The Tokyo tower is an architectural example and modern marvel of Tokyo’s impressive skyline. From here, you can gaze over the forest of gleaming skyscrapers and patchwork of lush parks below. There’s an easy drop-off to/from Haneda Airport too, making it a perfect place to start or end your journey.

Komagatake Ropeway and Lake Ashi

Take a thrilling ride on the scenic Komagatake Ropeway, a cable car that ascends one of Hakone’s highest peaks and takes you all the way to Lake Ashi. On your ropeway ride, you’ll see dazzling views of Mount Fuji from the sky in the comfort and safety of these fabulous aerial trams. Once at Lake Ashi, you will board a Viking-inspired wooden boat for an unforgettable trip around this pristine high-elevation lake. This is a wonderful trip for nature lovers.

Tokyo Imperial Palace

The Emperor of Japan calls the Tokyo Imperial Palace home, so many parts of this stunning property do not accommodate tourists. However, you can spend hours exploring the palace’s beautiful gardens and in season, cherry blossoms, or discover the history of the palace on a guided tour. Kitanomaru Park is famous, where cherry blossoms cover the area in the spring and couples rent boats to paddle the palace moat. You’ll feel transported to another time here.
