Then, head to the Omotesando\u2014a sophisticated area often referred to as Tokyo\u2019s Champs-Elysee. Shop for souvenirs like tenugui (Japanese hand towels), washi (Japanese paper), pottery, textiles, and tea ceremony goods. Consider visiting the Ukiyo-e Ota Museum to admire traditional woodblock prints and the Nezu Museum of Fine Art, which houses a large collection of pre-modern Japanese and East Asian art and features a traditional Japanese garden.<\/p>\n

Then explore the Meiji Shrine. It\u2019s a religious and cultural icon dedicated to modern Japan\u2019s first emperor and empress. The shrine and its adjacent Yoyogi Park are nestled inside a 170-acre urban forest, which is home to 120,000 trees and offers a respite from the city. \u201cVisit here and you\u2019ll forget you are in the heart of Tokyo,\u201d says Wakabayashi.<\/p>\n

For dinner, Wakabayashi recommends Nishiazabu Taku for Edomae (Tokyo-style) sushi. \u201cSushi was created in Tokyo, so it is best experienced authentically in its birthplace,\u201d he adds. \u201cThe chef prepares the sushi and presents it to you\u2014it\u2019s a very special experience.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Day 2<\/h3>\n

\"A Explore traditional Tokyo in the Asakusa district. Start with a visit to the Tokyo Skytree, the world\u2019s tallest tower, and take in a 360-degree view of the city. Then, wander through some of Asakusa\u2019s craft shops. Pick up local items like as yukata (an informal style of kimono) and hashi (chopsticks). Try some street foods, too, such as gyoza (deep-fried dumplings), yakitori (grilled, skewered chicken), and taiyaki (fish-shaped snacks filled with sweet bean paste). Later, visit the Sensoji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

After a day of sightseeing, dine at Hommage, a two-star Michelin restaurant in Asakusa. The chef \u201cblends modern French cuisine with authentic Japanese fare,\u201d says Wakabayashi, calling dining there \u201can unforgettable experience.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Day 3<\/h3>\n

From there, explore nearby Daikanyama. Its tree-lined, pedestrian-only streets are packed with boutiques, open-air eateries, and upscale architecture. Explore the stylish Tsutaya Daikanyama bookstore, too. \u201cBe sure to go up to the second floor where you can enjoy a drink in a stylish lounge surrounded by rare vintage Japanese magazines,\u201d he adds, noting that his beer\u2014Rococo Tokyo White\u2014is served there.<\/p>\n

For dinner, visit Towa, a Kaiseki restaurant in Nishi Azabu, which features a traditional multicourse menu with wagyu (high-end Japanese beef ) as its signature item.
