Tokyo Sights

Entertainment sights in Tokyo

  1. A

    Tokyo Metropolitan Children’s Hall

    Boasts six kid-friendly storeys and a number of ingenious play areas – check out the human-body maze or get messy in the hands-on art studio where children can make pottery and origami. It’s 300m northeast of Shibuya Station, next to Mitake-kōen.

    Laforet Museum Harajuku

    This museum, on the 6th floor of the teenybopper fashionista Mecca that is Laforet department store, is gallery or performance space depending on the event. Small film festivals, art installations and launch parties are held here regularly - after browsing the art-as-streetwear on the floors below, check out art-as-art upstairs.

  3. C

    Spiral Building

    Its asymmetrical, geometric shape may not look very sinuous on the outside, but the Spiral Building's name will make more sense upon entry. The 1st-floor gallery features changing exhibits, shows, dining and live music. Check out the shop on the 2nd floor for art books, jewellery, washi and stylishly designed loot.

  4. Kodomo-no-Shiro

    Has playrooms, puppet theatres, a swimming pool and a music lobby where kids can make all the noise they like. The Children's Castle Hotel next door was built especially for those with young children and can be a convenient refuge for travelling families. It's located off Aoyama-dōri.

    Tokyo Anime Center

    Superfans might consider visiting Tokyo Anime Center, a rather underwhelming exhibition hall that springs to life when there are anime related special events.
