    Visiting Tokyo Disneyland was a fantastic experience and a must-do for any Disney fan visiting Japan. While it follows the familiar layout and structure of other Disneylands around the world, what really sets this park apart is the level of care, cleanliness, and attention to detail that runs through every part of the experience.The park feels instantly welcoming, with beautifully maintained lands, friendly Cast Members, and a smooth, well-organised flow even on busy days. Attractions are a mix of classic Disney favourites and versions that feel slightly elevated compared to their counterparts elsewhere. Everything runs efficiently, which makes a big difference when queues are long or the park is crowded.I would highly recommend Tokyo Disneyland to anyone visiting Japan, whether it’s your first Disney park or you’ve been to several before.

    The Ocean Park is indeed quite crowded. Try to grab a speedrun if possible, as it's not expensive. In the afternoon, they only accept speedrunners and those with reservations. Although it's described as large, it's not actually that big after walking around, so you don't need to plan the order of attractions. You can basically experience everything you want. Just ride whatever you pass by. I liked Castle of Horrors, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Sky Lantern, and Elsa – all were excellent.

    Невероятное место как для фаната, так и любого человека плохо знакомого с миром магии Хогвардса. Очень много интересных интерактивов. Понравится как взрослым так и детям.

    Visiting the Tokyo Skytree is an experience that really shows just how vast Tokyo is. As one of the tallest structures in the world, the Skytree isn’t just a landmark you admire from below—it’s a place that completely changes your perspective of the city once you’re at the top.The observation decks offer incredible panoramic views in every direction, stretching far beyond the city on clear days. What stood out most was the sheer scale of Tokyo, with buildings continuing as far as the eye can see. Visiting during the day gives you a great sense of the city’s layout, while an evening visit offers a dramatic transformation as Tokyo lights up below.From a practical point of view, the Skytree is very well organised. Entry is smooth, staff are helpful, and the experience never feels rushed despite the number of visitors. Booking tickets in advance is a good idea, especially during busy periods, as it helps avoid long queues.

    Sensoji is a maginificent temple in the centre of Tokyo. A few minutes walk from the station and you reach this busy but royal temple. The pathway to the temple is lined up with numerous shops selling souvenirs and titbits. People enjoy browsing the shops, enjoying shopping and chit chatting with the shop-owners. One can even see Tokyo tower on a clear day.

    Great experience, nice view. Too bad too cloudy can’t really see sunset but when all lights starts to light up, is amazing view.

    The observatory is clearly marked; just follow the signs after getting off the train. Crowds are well-controlled, so it's not overly crowded. Going there in the evening allows for a great view of the sunset and the nightscape, especially Tokyo Tower. Tickets are more affordable than those at Shibuya and Tokyo Skytree. If you're hungry after sightseeing, I recommend looking for food on the first or basement floors instead of on the fourth, fifth, or sixth floors. They're much cheaper and offer a wide selection of snacks.

    The boat trip, which takes about an hour, takes in the breathtaking scenery from Asakusa to Odaiba. It's perfect for a relaxing cruise and enjoying the riverside scenery. The boat's design is very futuristic and technologically advanced, making it a must-see. 👍 For popular ferry times, it's recommended to purchase tickets online in advance.

    It's a bit far, so we chartered a car. There are speed passes available for purchase. But since I don't speak English or Japanese, I just had to wait in line. My private guide wasn't available today. We'll have the itinerary tomorrow. If you're not good at foreign languages, ❌ but have the money, find a private guide. Any recommendations?
