If you’ve kept up with the latest travel trends, you probably noticed there is a new summer travel destination taking the top spot. Move over Euro summer:It’s time for Tokyo summer. For those who need a little more convincing to hop on that long plane ride, here are some of the best things to do in Tokyo this summer:
Great Hotels
Since Tokyo is such a large city, there are plenty of fabulous hotels to choose from, so why choose just one? From traditional ryokans to iconic fixtures, each stay offers a different experience. TRUNK(HOTEL) YOYOGI PARK offers a quiet escape in the middle of the busiest city in the world. The brand’s flagship property, TRUNK(HOTEL) CAT STREET, offers travelers a chance to live like locals. Iconic high-rise Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, meanwhile, offers a stylish stay.
Energetic Festivals
Tokyo hosts a vibrant cultural festival, Natsu Matsuri, throughout the summer to celebrate community spirit, changing seasons and local traditions. Festivals feature street food, taiko drumming and Bon-Odori dancing. On the last Saturday in July is Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival, Tokyo’s largest and oldest fireworks festival.
Unique Museum
Summer temperatures in Tokyo can get high, but don’t worry, there is plenty to do inside when it gets unbearable. TeamLab Planets is one of the most popular attractions in Tokyo and offers a cool place to hang out. The museum is a physically immersive and visually stunning exhibit designed to blur the boundaries of art and self. The museum also features new additions, such as Athletic Forest and Future Park, where guests can walk on water and float around an orchid garden.
