    The party never stops in Tokyo!

    Known as a land of ultramodern technology infused with quirkiness, the city is lit with amazing experiences you simply need to try out. Check out these uniquely-Japan activities that will make your trip one you’ll never forget!

    1. Indulge in free-flow sake all night long

    Sake
    What is a party without some booze? Grab a bottle of sake, or maybe a hundred, at this all-you-can drink sake buffet at Kurand Sake Market.
    With over a 100 types of sake to choose from, you will definitely be spoilt for choice. And that’s not even the best part. You can actually stay in there for up to six hours. So take your time and cheers to a night you hope you’ll remember with your best friends.
    If the sake buffet is a delicious cake, here’s the cherry on top: They let you bring in your own snacks! Pop by the nearby departmental store to get some onigiris and Kit Kats to munch on.

    2. Bring your trip to greater heights on a Helicopter Cruise

    What makes you feel on top of the world? In this metropolis that never sleeps, a Helicopter Cruise will definitely be it. Upgrade your adventures 600m up into the skies for an all round, panoramic view of towering skyscrapers, endless streams of traffic, and the iconic Mount Fuji.
    The Heli Cruise is also ranked one of the most romantic things to do in Tokyo, so if you have a special someone with you in Japan, this will surely make them fall in love with you if they haven’t already!

    3. Race your friends down the streets of Tokyo

    Go-kart Akihabara
    Some say that walking is the best way to explore Japan. But here’s a little secret: it isn’t, not with this go-kart rental around! Explore the Tokyo streets 10 times faster and 100 times cooler with this cute, yet bad-ass piece of machinery that will glide you along the streets of Tokyo at up to 60km/h.
    Feel like a celebrity as passersby wave to you on a street, or if you are feeling it, transform into your favourite Japanese cartoon game character with a variety of cosplay costumes available for you to suit up in.

    4. Tuck into a bizarre dinner at the famous Robot Restaurant

    The epitome of Japan’s quirkiness is this Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku. With strange yet extravagant robots, multi-colored laser lights and flashily dressed dancers, the Robot Restaurant is a themed restaurant on steroids.
    If you have a taste for the trippy, this is a wildly entertaining, highly energetic experience we guarantee you will not forget. You and your friends might walk out either slightly dazed or completely blown away. That’s the quintessential side of Japan for you!

    5. Get an ultimate relaxation in a Hot Spring Theme Park

    Oedo Onsen
    When you are finally done with partying and scouring all the insane activities of Tokyo, relax at this hot spring theme park, which provides a truly Japanese bath experience you cannot find elsewhere.
    Oedo-Onsen-Monogatari is one of the most popular onsens in Japan. The waters are naturally heated up by the earth and fills 13 different hot spring baths, both indoors and outdoors. Beyond the regular hot springs, you can wrap yourselves up in a yukata after the relaxing soak and wander around the grounds of the theme park to shop and eat.
    You can even stay overnight there until 9am the next morning!

    Off to Tokyo!
