Tips from the community

On the outskirts of Shinjuku, Kichijoji is a cultural hub of fashion, art, and food surrounding one of the biggest parks in Tokyo. Inokashira Park near Kichijoji station is one of the most beautifully maintained parks in Tokyo. The Ghibli Museum is also located on the grounds of Inokashira Park, this is a must-see museum for anyone who loves animation and art.

  • Towns to Visit on the Outskirts of Tokyo

    After spending time in Tokyo, it's always nice to get outside of the city and see the surrounding areas. There are a lot of varying landscapes on Tokyo's outskirts, from beaches to mountains, that show different sides of Japan and new activities which you cannot always experience in central Tokyo. I have included in this list suburbs of Tokyo that are perfect for overnight trips, as well as often-overlooked areas in Tokyo around the outskirts to take you a little bit off the beaten path in your Japan travels.
