Best Things to Do in Tokyo (2026):
Tickets, Attractions & Experiences
A planner's overview of Tokyo's best ticketed attractions — observation decks, digital-art museums, theme parks, and one-of-a-kind experiences — each with a link to our full guide.
How to Use This Guide
Tokyo has more to do than any single trip can hold, so this page focuses on the ticketed attractions and experiences worth planning ahead. For each one you'll find a short summary and a link to our full guide, where we cover prices, timing, and exactly how to book. Where we quote a price, it's a confirmed figure; everything else points you to the detailed guide rather than guessing.
One theme runs through all of them: the best experiences use timed entry and sell out. If something below catches your eye, lock in the date early and build the rest of your sightseeing around it.
Observation Decks
Shibuya Sky is the iconic open-air rooftop above the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, at around ¥2,500 for an advance online adult ticket — its sunset slots are the prize and the first to sell out. See our full Shibuya Sky tickets guide. If you want to weigh it against Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Tower, and the free Tocho deck, our observation decks comparison breaks down heights, prices, and which to choose.
teamLab Museums
Tokyo has two teamLab digital-art museums — Planets in Toyosu and Borderless in Azabudai — both immersive, walk-through experiences that use timed entry and sell out fast. Our teamLab tickets guide compares the two and explains which suits your trip and how to book before they're gone.
Tokyo Disney & the Warner Bros. Studio Tour
Tokyo Disney (Disneyland and DisneySea) uses date-specified tickets that sell out weeks ahead, with no gate sales — and the official site can block foreign cards. Our Tokyo Disney tickets guide explains how to buy and how to choose between the two parks. For Harry Potter fans, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo is Asia's first of its kind and the world's largest indoor facility of its type, with timed entry and no re-entry — details in our studio tour guide.
Go-Karts, Sumo & Kimono
For something hands-on, street go-karting lets you drive Tokyo's public roads in costume — but it requires an International Driving Permit sorted before you fly. Our go-kart guide covers the rules by country. To see Japan's national sport, our sumo in Tokyo guide explains tournament tickets (January, May, and September) versus a year-round morning practice tour. And for a more traditional day, a kimono rental in Asakusa includes dressing, hair, and hundreds of designs.
A Mt. Fuji Day Trip
When you're ready to leave the city, a Mt. Fuji day trip ties together the Chureito Pagoda, Oshino Hakkai, Lake Kawaguchiko, and the 5th Station in a long but rewarding day. Our Mt. Fuji day trip guide compares group tours, private tours, and going it alone by train.
