    I stumbled upon this tour. It was amazing, I learnt a lot about Japanese culture and history. Our guide treated us with such warmth showing us how to act in the temples.

    When you need to visit the owl cafe or the meerkat and hedgehog cafe - stop in here to get discounted tickets and they will make the reservations for you and direct you to the cafes. The people were very nice and friendly, English was well spoken.

    Beautiful building and not a bad walk from Tokyo Station. We specifically appreciated it because we were hiding from the rain and it has a number of shops inside. It was being set up for a big expo, and I'm sure it would be a great expo building. As a tourist attraction I would only do a quick stop to look at the impressive architecture, maybe grab a quick coffee and go, if it's on your way.

    I spotted this indoor stadium when I was doing a trail around the Imperial Palace site. Its situated in the Kitamonaru park and was originally built for the olympic games in the sixties. Today its a multi-purpose hall used for contests and concerts. When I was there it was hosting some kind of hanami celebration event. The architecture of this stadium is cool.

    The tour guide Kenji-san is very professional.
    The arrangement is very good.
    However, the lunch set can be better.

    Free to visit this was an unexpected delight. There were two rooms of children's books which were delightful and there was also a thought provoking exhibit based on children's experiences of the great Eastern earthquake.

    The National Diet Library has a great collection and the building houses some displays. Books and journals (etc) are requested using an "online" system and delivered to you whilst there. You can get photocopying, but not take books out. It is for the serious library user and you have to register to get a reader's card so not for the casual visitor either. There are several cafes which also serve food - no WiFi !?

    This centre is a multi-lingual one and although only English and French was available on the day, with your smart phones, this will be a go to place to find that little events and joys of Tokyo. It has a great little souvenir outlet and there are always displays of Japanese culture. On my visit it was cruise shipping from the 1920s, tin toys etc. and freeeee!

    I have visited Japan eight times since 2004. I had not heard or read about the name of Hoku Topia and it observatory lobby on the 17th floor offers free panoramic views of greater Tokyo till this summer when I made my 8th trip to Japan. I read an article from an official Tokyo Travel Guide which I picked up at Hamamatsucho Station. It recommends tourists take ride on Sakura Line(previously Toden Aragawa Line) and explore several unique neighborhoods and attractions along the tracks. Hoku Topia is one of them. The not so well know free entry to observatory lobby on its 17th floor was my reason to visit.

    Hoku Topia, a commercial building is next to JR Oji Station and also on Sakura Line's Oji-ekimae Stop. We bought one day pass riding on Sakura Tram and our mission was to see greater Tokyo from Hoku Topia's 17th floor's observatory lobby. Surprisingly we were the only foreigners there. We had plenty of space to meander around and free to stay on the 17th floor lobby till we felt time to leave. The nearest panorama views are Aragawa and adjacent cities. In distance Skytree is one of easy recognized landmarks; old arched bridges; Aragawa River and Sumida River are within the sights.

    From high-rise building to watch trains passing, approaching or leaving station was the first time experience in all my trips to Japan, and my greatest pleasure was watching several JR East Shinkansen trains ran on high speeds below my eyes. There were even a few times I saw local trains, regional trains, express trains and Shinkansen trains ran spontaneously on their own tracks. It was an eye-opening experience. And because I had just completed my traveling across Kanto and Tohoku region I could even recognize the names of the train traveled by the colors of their cars.

    I love to go off beaten path to find places that are unique and not so touristy, and I found Hoku Topia, it's reachable by JR's JK(Keihintohoku) Line, Toei's Sakura Tram, and Tokyo Metro N line. Around Hoku Topia there are many shops and eateries to explore and dine.
