Here Is Why You Should Visit Tokyo.

The Gadgets
Need something but can’t put your finger on what it is? Tokyo knows what you want, and probably has it waiting for you right now. I’ve never seen more amazing gadgets in my life. A cup-holder that attaches to your windowsill. Yes please! A watch that beeps when you’re close to a cop car? I’ll take it! Like most things in Japan, the gadgets and technology are not only impressive but incredibly well-made.

The Nightlife
Tokyo nightlife is pretty much insane. During my trip, I encountered four main attractions: packed dance clubs, upscale bars, karaoke lounges (that are surprisingly competitive), and an abundance of strip clubs. It’s almost impossible to escape cover charges in Tokyo, but they’re often worth it — especially if you’re partying in the Roppongi district, where hordes of foreigners, expats, and younger locals flock to dance, drink, and meet new people. The mix of people you’ll see at clubs and bars is truly amazing, and never really makes sense.

Make sure you grab a Japan eSIM for world-class connectivity in Japan and beyond.

The Fireworks
Fireworks are an integral part of Japanese culture and history, and hundreds of dazzling shows and festivals are put on throughout the year. The biggest celebrations are in the summer, though, when the weather is breezy, warm, and perfect for relaxing outdoors. My most vivid firework-related memory was of the Katsushika Festival in July, which is basically a straight hour of ridiculously intricate, stunning explosions.
