Tokyo Architecture
Eleven architectural marvels to watch in Tokyo

Fall foliage
People around the world know that Japan goes crazy during cherry-blossom season. What few people know is that the whole process is repeated during foliage season in the fall! Weather forecasts report on the progress of the foliage and thousands of photography aficionados dust their tripods and take their cameras out for a walk to capture the ensemble of color.

Tokyo Onsen
A visit to an onsen (hot spring) usually means a trip to a far-flung hot spring resort, but it doesn’t need to be that way. Unbeknownst to many, including more than a few native Tokyoites, the city is home to dozens of onsen, many of them nice enough to make a trip to country unnecessary.

Souvenirs
There’s no shortage of cheap souvenirs in Japan that will make everybody happy. Many of us rely on Daiso, the massive 100 yen emporium, to bring our friends...

Alternative Hanami
Tokyo has no shortage of good hanami spots, but for some reason there are a few famous parks that get recommended over and over again. Here's our guide to the lesser-known places, where the sakura are just as beautiful and the crowds are thinner.

Late Spring Festivals in Tokyo
Golden Week is over and summer is almost upon us, and soon we’ll be enjoying warm weather delights like natsu matsuri (summer festivals).

Autumn leaves
The Japanese are a people seriously infatuated with the seasons, and one of the greatest expressions of that obsession is the love of koyo.

Fruit Picking
In Japan every season has its own charms, but when it comes to food autumn holds a special place in the hearts—and stomachs—of the Japanese.

Shimizuyu (Sento (Public Bath) / Omotesando, Aoyama)
Worst customer service I experienced in 10 years. Rude, mean, aggressive.
I give this place a negative galaxy of stars. I had a problem that could have been easily resolved - another customer put her things in my empty locker when my back was turned and went into the bath. ... Read More

Shimizuyu (Sento (Public Bath) / Omotesando, Aoyama)
Hours
This place is only open until 11:00 on Saturdays and Sundays. The staff didn't really seem very helpful or friendly.
