Flyscoot posted this question which stirred my inner Japan Guru to rise up to the challenge. So what have I done for FREE in Tokyo?
1) Akihabara - visit the Tokyo Anime Centre for a free introduction to Japanese Animation; located at UDX building, minutes away from JR Akihabara station. My favorite memory is recording a VoiceOver for Pokemon with my girlfriend.
2) Harajuku - on a Sunday, Harajuku is a Cosplay paradise. Head over to the bridge just before Meiji Jingu to mingle and take pictures with Cosplayers.
3) Ryogoku Sumo Musuem - located minutes away from JR Ryogoku station, entry is free except on days where the Tokyo Grand Sumo tournaments are on.
4) Roppongi Hills - this is where I go for a good view of Tokyo Tower. It is also a great place for window shopping and one of my favorite haunts during Christmas season as it always has stunning Illumination. Go up the Mori Tower for more great views and admire beautiful pieces of installation art scattered all over the estate. On certain weekends there are also performances at the Roppongi Hills arena and within the mall itself. Think Christmas caroling and celebrity appearances. It is also free to visit the Mori Garden which is nice and cool in autumn and spring.
5) Odaiba is another one of my favorite places to go. Whilst getting there on the Yurikamome might not be free of charge, you can enjoy amazing views of the sunset from Odaiba Decks Shopping Mall or from the manmade beach at Odaiba Marine Park.
For those who loves a good stroll, you'll enjoy captivating indoor ambience at Venusfort.
And if you are into Cars, head to the Toyota MegaWeb (right next to the giant ferris wheel) for free admission to one of Tokyo's biggest car showrooms.
Pet lovers, you can head to Sun Walk (below Venusfort) to admire Tokyo's best pet owners and have a taste of how their pets are groomed and loved. Take home a little something for your pet as well, the pet accessories available will not disappoint.
