A must-see for those who want to go on a solo trip to Tokyo! We'll show you how you can enjoy sightseeing in Tokyo without worrying even if you're alone. Make your own plan and enjoy a free and carefree trip.

Enjoy a peaceful moment while visiting art galleries and museums

When traveling alone to Tokyo, the first thing I recommend is visiting art galleries and museums. There are facilities all over Tokyo that have high-quality exhibits.

In addition to the National Museum of Western Art, which is known for Le Corbusier's architecture and was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2016, we also recommend the Edo-Tokyo Museum, where you can learn about Tokyo's history and culture dating back to the Edo period. You will feel closer to Tokyo. Why not enjoy the world of Ghibli at the Mitaka Ghibli Museum?

Stroll around the stylish Daikanyama-Ebisu area

Daikanyama-Ebisu is lined with wonderful shops and cafes, making it the perfect spot for a solo stroll. Log Road Daikanyama, built on the site of the former Toyoko Line railroad tracks, is an urban oasis-like space with stylish select shops and restaurants. There is a walking path of about 220m that is lined with seasonal flowers.

The area leading from Daikanyama towards Ebisu Station is dotted with antique shops and fashionable general stores. As you browse around the stores that interest you, you'll feel like time passes by in the blink of an eye. Recommended when you want to spend some quality time alone.

Landmark Tokyo Skytree & Tokyo Tower are must-sees!

This is Tokyo! Speaking of sightseeing spots, it is Tokyo Sky Tree and Tokyo Tower. Tokyo Skytree's ``Tembo Galleria'' is 450 meters high and is a spectacular spot where you can see the cityscape of Tokyo and even Mt. Fuji on clear days. When you walk along the sloped corridor, you will feel as if you are walking in the air.

Tokyo Tower, which retains the nostalgic atmosphere of Tokyo, is also very popular. In addition to a 150m large observation deck and a 250m special observation deck, there are also plenty of amusement facilities such as an aquarium and a ``ONE PIECE'' theme park. It is full of elements that even one person can enjoy.
