Is is better to organize a trip to Tokyo with the advices of experienced tourists, especially if you do not have too much time. Once here, first visit the Imperial Palace and stroll around the surrounding garden.

The National Museum of Tokyo was opened here and, perhaps, there is no better place in the entire capital for studying the culture of Japan.

Near is the Miraikan Museum, the National Museum of Science. This is the main showcase of the futuristic achievements of the Japanese and there it seems that the future has already come. And if you want to see "the most Japanese Japan" with all its inimitable coloring, go to the Museum of Sitamati.

Here you can also eat delicious food in a restaurant, a cafe or directly on the street, depending on financial possibilities.
