This sleek and serene luxury hotel located in Tokyo's financial district is the perfect antidote to the  hectic city hustle & bustle.  Relax in their luxurious spa, or sign yourself up for the hotel's famous afternoon black tea ceremony.

Good Design Store Tokyo is exactly as advertised: good, contemporary Japanese design, from stationery to homeware. Many items have received Japan’s Good Design Award, with a focus on function and objects you’d find in a Japanese household. Look for compact, packable pieces: kitchen tools like cutlery, small measuring jugs or tongs, as well as socks or small objects that make ideal souvenirs. Stock rotates often, so if something catches your eye, it’s worth buying in case it sells out. Tax-free shopping is available over ¥5,000 so make sure you have your passport handy.

Tokyo's largest contemporary art museum is home to some of the most impressive collections of modern Japanese art, featuring Western and Nihonga artists as well. Definitely worth visiting if you want to immerse yourself in Japanese culture before you head home!
