Essentials in Tokyo

Japanese traditions: Japanese locals cherish their traditions and take ceremonies and festivals as an opportunity to share their culture. Visit the gardens and lotus flowers in the East Gardens at the Imperial Palace, learn to roll sushi properly and light a candle at the great lantern festival.

Bathhouses: This city may never sleep but always looks rested, mostly thanks to the sencha green tea and baths. Traditionally bathhouses were communal places where friends and family met to chat, something many still do. Clean yourself in the designated area before getting into the bath tub, a small upright one with very hot water up to your neck. Relax and soak.
