Food Places I'll break down each region into sections so you'll have multiple options just incase you like a particular type of food

Toyko

Ramen

  • Tomita Ramen Japan, 〒271-0092 Chiba Prefecture, Matsudo, １３３９ 高橋ビル
    • Considered the best ramen place in Japan. We'd have to get there right when they open to get a ticket.
    • They open at 11am. I would not be surprised if people will be lined up in the morning.
  • Soranoiro
    • This place is gluten free!
    • They have 3 locations in all of Tokyo.

Market Places

  • Tsukiji fish market
    • This has obviously moved but apparently the old market place still has the same food stuff available. The current market place is apparently made for tourists.
  • Ameyoko Market 4-9-14 Ueno, Taitō, Tokyo 110-0005, Japan
    • Open air market. Good food. open from 10am to 8pm

Yakitori

Yakitori is Japanese chicken bbq skewers. They can be made 2 ways salted or marinated in soy based sauce here are the different types you can choose from

  • Yakitori Ton-Ton Japan, 〒100-0006 Tokyo, 千代田区有楽町２丁目１−１０
    • this place will smell like smoke and apparently won't be the best place to sit down and get served. If we're feeling adventurious this might be the place to go.
  • Toriki
    • super fresh. The guy has been doing this for like 30 years. Chickens killed the same day

Things to do

Tokyo

Museums

  • Edo-Tokyo Museum 1-4-1 Yokoami, Sumida 130-0015, Tokyo Prefecture
    • In one of the reviews I read it is reccommended this should be one of the first things for us to look at. Considering it's our first time in Tokyo it might put somethings in context for us.

Parks / Gardens

  • Yoyogi park 2-1 Yoyogi Kamizonocho, Shibuya 151-0052, Tokyo Prefecture

    • One of the larger parks in tokyo.
    • Riding a tandem bike might be a nice activity to do.
    • Sundays are busy

  • Ueno Park

    • houses 4 of tokyo's best museums.
    • is considered tokyo's first zoological garden (Ueno Zoo)
    • Paddle boat rides
    • Most lifely tokyo spots for flower-viewing. Could be busy

  • Rikugien Garden

    • One of the most beautiful gardens found in Tokyo
    • There are 6 areas in the park and they all represent a scene dscribed in ancient Japanese / Chinese poems.
    • Small fee to enter.
    • Tsutsuji no Chaya teahouse

Ultimately I got most of my information from this blog post
