Hibiya Park is a peaceful green space in the middle of Tokyo, near Tokyo Station, Yurakucho Station, and the Imperial Palace. Opened in 1903, it was Japan’s first Western-style park. You’ll find wide walking paths, pretty seasonal flowers, and towering trees, including a famous 500-year-old ginkgo. The park sits where a feudal lord’s palace once stood, and you can still see old Edo Castle's stone walls and a small pond with birds. In this park, you'll find benches to sit and relax on, spots to have a tea or beer, and even places to enjoy local food from nearby shops and restaurants. A large fountain in the middle of the park lights up at night, creating a fun and romantic atmosphere. In spring and fall, the trees and flowers are especially beautiful. Hibiya Park is easy to walk to from places like Ginza and Chiyoda-ku, and it’s free to enter. You can visit any day—even on a Tuesday—to enjoy the sun, rest under the trees, or take photos near the landmarks. Whether you're walking through in June, August, or September, Hibiya Park is always a special part of Tokyo.

It is very convenient to book tickets using Klook. You don't have to compete with everyone on the Jr website. This time I was arranged to sit in car 3, which is close to car 2 for selling things. If you want to take pictures, you can go to car 1 to take pictures of the scenery.

At first, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't think that I could really book a Japanese restaurant for free with Klook. Since this restaurant only accepts phone reservations and I don't understand Japanese, I relied on Klook to help me book a seat. When we arrived at the restaurant, the owner had already prepared our dinner.

What you buy on Klook is the electronic version of the Hakone Freepass. You don't need to exchange for a physical ticket. You can use it by showing the electronic ticket display to the staff. It is convenient and fast, and it is a great choice.

After purchasing online, you can directly scan the QR code at the machine at the Japanese station to redeem it. It is very convenient. You can take the subway directly to eat delicious food and go shopping. It is very useful. Next time I come to Japan, I will continue to buy and use it.

I joined with my two kids and had a fantastic time. We initially thought riding a bike in Tokyo was a bit scary, but our guide took us safely through the streets!! The view from Tokyo Tower was so beautiful and the dolphin show was so fun!! I would recommend to do this for your night time activity when it’s not too hot.

My partner and I had an amazing time on this night bike tour! Riding through the city at night was such a cool experience! Quiet backstreets, glowing temples, and Tokyo’s famous spots all lit up. Our guide KC was great!! The whole tour felt fun, safe, and relaxed. It was a really unique way to see Tokyo and made for a super memorable night with the dolphin show and getting up to the Tokyo Tower! Highly recommend!

Online purchases can be used immediately, which is convenient and fast, and the price will drop with the exchange rate, which is very good.
