12 Fun Date Ideas for Tokyo (Part 1)
Notwithstanding Tokyo's endless number of fancy restaurants and cafés to choose from for that romantic night out, the dinner scene can be a bit cliché and get old real fast. To help you avoid the blahs on your next date, we have come up with the list of 12 uniquely fun date ideas in Tokyo. This is part one of a 3-part blog series, so be sure to check out Part 2 and Part 3!
Oedo Onsen
Public baths may make you feel uncomfortable, as sharing a bathtub with 100 other people might not be the most appealing idea to those who grew up in the West. However, in Japan, public baths are common and can be found everywhere. But Oedo Onsen is not an ordinary public bath. Oedo Onsen can almost be likened to an amusement park with arcade games, food venders, and lounges you can relax in your Japanese-style robe.
The inside of the building is decorated to look like an old Japanese town during the summer and offers a festival-like atmosphere. Don't worry, men's and women's bathing areas are segregated, while the lounge areas and other facilities are common, so such a place is suitable for couples on a date (or even a double date) as well as families.
Tokyo Sky Tree might be an obvious choice, as it is one of the most well-known symbols of Tokyo. But because it is so accessible, people often dismiss the experience and fail to consider the breathtaking view that it offers.
Standing at 634 meters, with the highest observation deck at 450 meters above the ground, you can have a new experience every time you visit thanks to the amazing view that changes by season and time of day. This will ensure that you won't lose that loving feeling!
Yokohama Bay
Yokohama Bay is full of surprises and can keep you and your date filled with awe the entire day. Although Yokohama Bay is outside of Tokyo, it is only a few stops away from Tokyo station and is easily accessible. China town is also located close to Yokohama bay, filling you up with delicious Chinese food before perhaps a romantic night on the waterfront. The famous Red Brick Warehouse is also located near Yokohama bay, where you can have a unique shopping and dining experience right next to the water, adding a romantic atmosphere to a simple and inexpensive date.
Meguro Parasitological Museum
Definitely one of the most intriguing and out-of-the-ordinary date ideas on this list, Meguro Parasitological Museum is just what it sounds like. This museum exhibits and displays various parasites and their interactions with humans. In addition, it houses over 5000 books on parasitology, and is an educational space for those who like to be grossed out a little. Definitely not cliché, admissions is free and it can be a great way to spend time with your date being weirded out together, if that's your thing. Caution: This museum might be the best place for a first date with your crush. :-)
