We did a supper with a local. Went to their home where we made traditional sushi and he made us matcha tea. Lots of visiting. Topped it off with a visit to the grocery store where they showed us the ingredients to buy. Wonderful experience.

If you are going to other places in Japan, try Koya mountain. Stay in a monastery and do a
night tour of sacred cemetery.

I just read a really great book called Clueless in Tokyo - it's gorgeously illustrated and might give you some slightly off the beaten track ideas.

Exploring the Unusual in Tokyo

Tokyo is a city that seamlessly blends ancient traditions with modern innovations, offering a unique and fascinating experience for visitors. While you'll undoubtedly want to see the iconic sights like the Imperial Palace, Sensoji Temple, and Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo also harbors a wealth of unusual and offbeat attractions that are sure to pique your curiosity.

Venture into the Quirky World of Robot Restaurants

Prepare to have your senses assaulted in the most delightful way at one of Tokyo's robot restaurants. These over-the-top establishments offer a mind-boggling combination of flashing lights, pulsating music, and elaborate robot performances. The robots, often towering and intricately designed, engage in intricate dance routines and battles, providing an unforgettable experience that is uniquely Japanese.

Explore the Colorful World of Kawaii Culture

Tokyo is the epicenter of kawaii (cute) culture, and there are numerous places where you can immerse yourself in this quirky phenomenon. Visit the Kawaii Monster Café, where you'll be surrounded by vibrant and whimsical decor, and indulge in themed drinks and desserts. Alternatively, head to the Kiddy Land toy store in Harajuku, where you'll find an overwhelming array of adorable and quirky merchandise.

Discover the Unique Art of Maid Cafés

Step into a maid café for a truly unique and slightly surreal experience. These cafés, primarily found in Akihabara, feature waitresses dressed in elaborate maid costumes who engage in playful interactions and performances with customers. While it may seem bizarre at first, these establishments offer a glimpse into Japan's subcultures and provide a memorable dining experience.

Embrace the Strange at the Ghibli Museum

If you're a fan of the whimsical and imaginative worlds created by Studio Ghibli, a visit to the Ghibli Museum is a must. This museum, dedicated to the works of acclaimed animator Hayao Miyazaki, is a wonderland of fantasy and creativity. From the intricate exhibits to the unique architecture, every corner of the museum is a celebration of the unusual and fantastical.

Tokyo is a city that continuously surprises and delights, and these unusual attractions are just a glimpse into the boundless creativity and quirkiness that the city has to offer. Embrace the unexpected and let Tokyo's offbeat side captivate you.
