  1. How to Experience Tokyo Like a Local: A Singaporean’s Guide

  2. Introduction This PPT on the top tourist attractions to visit in Tokyo will be helpful to a first-time Tokyo itinerary from Singapore is a bustling city with both the traditional and the contemporary. For a Singaporean, you won’t get lost in the rhythm of life and food, but there are things to do in the will that will make your trip special. Below is the Tokyo as a guide to the locals.

  3. Mastering Public Transport Personal transport in Tokyo may not be as convenient as in some other cities, but due to the effective organization of transport in Tokyo, public transport is the most suitable means of transport in the city. Get a Suica or Pasmo card if you want an easy way to just jump on and off trains and buses. First, get an idea about the subway lines; the most important one is the Yamanote Line which connects the main districts of the city and runs around the city. As with the Tube, try the bus or train in the rush hour together with the local people —don’t be surprised if the train is overcrowded and the staff may use their hands to make more space.

  4. Embrace Local Cuisine Now for something completely different – instead of hawker centers, there is Tokyo. Avoid tourist sushi restaurants and try some traditional izakaya – Japanese pubs instead. Avoid tourist destinations; they are usually associated with horrible food. You should try food such as Yakitori, Grilled chicken skewers, Karaage, Fried chicken, and sashimi according to the season. To quell homesickness try getting a slice of life from a rather too common environment like the Japanese konbini (convenience store) with peculiar snacks and take-away dishes.

  5. Explore Neighborhoods Different areas in Tokyo also have their uniqueness due to the very nature of its population and facilities. Visit Shinjuku for the electronic brilliance and the vibrant nighttime atmosphere but do not pass on the opportunity to visit Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. As for the latter, it is possible to find anything on it: youth subculture and the so-called ‘Harajuku fashion’, Takeshita Street is perfect for a walk. Old Tokyo can be seen while in Asakusa visiting Senso-ji Temple and eating ningyo-yaki: small cakes filled with red bean paste.

  6. Participate in Local Festivals If you are visiting there check out for festivals that might be in that region during your time of visit. Cultural events range from ceremonies, as seen in SanjaMatsuri in the Asakusa area or events like the Sumida River Fireworks festival are good sightseeing events. When I joined these events, I got a feel of Japanese culture and also got a chance to relate with the natives. Do not be afraid to wear a yukata (summer Kimono) or to join the function – the people appreciate it when tourists are immersed in their culture.

  7. Discover Hidden Gems Connect with Locals Yes, such places as the Tokyo Tower, Shibuya Crossing, or many others are must-visit places but try to find other places that will add value to your journey. Visit Yanaka, the only district that remained fully intact after the air raids of the Second World War and here you will be able to see both the houses and shops built in a traditional style of Japanese architecture. Visiting the OmoideYokocho district for the post-war nostalgic atmosphere that is the prefecture, the venues are tiny but offer great meals. Getting in touch with people is the perfect way to enhance the trip you are undertaking. Think about participating in a cultural exchange program or language exchange, where people can discuss something while having dinner. Not only does this allow you to refresh your Japanese but here too you can create real friendships. Self-proclaimed tour guides are as common as bread, and people are always happy to show you around their city and tell you about their favorite places.

  8. AWESOME WORDS

  9. Conclusion It is about being able to tick with the pulse of the city and face every bit of it as you live in the country. By doing so you will not only get to appreciate the visual and audible experience that is the Tokyo itinerary from Singapore but also get to leave behind marvelous memories even after traveling. From tasting scrumptious food hawked around or wandering through some of the serene residential areas in the city, there is something that Tokyo is sublimely holding for you.
