Some of the best things to do in Tokyo include having beer and yakitori chicken skewers at Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) (top left), enjoying awesome views from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (middle left) or Tokyo Tower’s observation deck (top right), and visiting the iconic Sensoji Temple (center).

Taking a rickshaw ride could be a fun way to see the sights.
