Episode 90: Immersive Tokyo Itinerary – Food, Art & Culture
Sat Jan 24 2026
Tokyo is best experienced slowly — through food, atmosphere, and everyday moments that stay with you long after the trip ends. In this episode, we share an immersive Tokyo itinerary designed to help you recover from long-haul travel while discovering some of the city’s most memorable experiences.
Our immersive Tokyo itinerary begins with a full reset at Toyosu Manyo Club, Tokyo’s modern onsen retreat overlooking the bay — one of our favorite ways to overcome jet lag. From there, we step into the surreal world of teamLab Planets Tokyo, explore Harajuku’s evolving street fashion and unique cafés (yes, including capybaras), and make our way to Tokyo JR Station’s Ramen Street, where we introduce the legendary Rokurinsha and its famous dipping ramen, along with standout snack and sweets shops inside the station.
We wrap up with dinner at Gonpachi Nishiazabu, a must-visit for first-timers and returning travelers alike — and a fitting finale to this immersive Tokyo itinerary.
If Tokyo is on your horizon, this episode will help you plan your first days with intention, comfort, and unforgettable flavor.
