An independent guide to the whole megacity

tokyosuki (東京好き) is an editorial travel guide to Tokyo, Japan — read as one city of many sides: the food, from depachika basements to standing sushi counters; the temples and the Shitamachi old-town; art, design and architecture; the parks and the seasonal calendar; the nightlife; and the pop-culture districts. We write for people planning a real trip: first-timers with a week, returners chasing one facet, families weighing the crowds against the calm.

We are independent. We are not affiliated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, any tourism board, or any venue, hotel, restaurant or operator we write about, and we take no commission on the places we recommend. When we point you to a detail that changes — a museum's hours, a train timetable, a seasonal event — we tell you to confirm it at the official source rather than freeze a figure that will mislead you next month.

Who writes it

Guides are written, edited and maintained by The tokyosuki editorial team, not a single named individual. Compiled and maintained by the tokyosuki editorial team from official tourism boards, operator timetables and public data. Guides are reviewed and updated regularly. We don't accept payment for inclusion.

We would rather help you choose the two or three sides of Tokyo you came for than march you through a checklist of every ward. If something here is out of date, or you know a tiny counter or a quiet garden we've missed, we'd genuinely like to hear it.
