Tokyo tours & tickets
Our ranked top ten, the city-wide passes and shows, and the best three bookings in each of fifteen destinations — every one a real GetYourGuide listing.
Tokyo has thousands of bookable experiences, and most visitors need only a handful. Some are tickets that sell out — teamLab, Shibuya Sky, sumo. Some are small-group tours that open doors you would not find alone, such as food walks through Shinjuku’s alleys. And some are day trips where a coach saves hours of connections, as around Mount Fuji.
We checked every product on this page against GetYourGuide’s listings in October 2026. Ratings and review counts are as shown then; “from” prices are indicative, in euros, and vary with date, option and exchange rate.

How to book well
- Lock in timed tickets first. teamLab Planets, teamLab Borderless, Shibuya Sky at sunset and the Ghibli Museum are the ones that disappear. Sumo tournament seats are sold separately through the official association.
- Choose free cancellation for weather-dependent days such as Mount Fuji and observation decks, and move them if the forecast turns.
- Read the meeting point. Tokyo’s big stations have dozens of exits; allow an extra 15 minutes.
- Go-karts need a valid licence. Bring an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention, or another licence recognised in Japan, plus your passport.
- Tokyo Disney Resort tickets are sold through the resort’s official website and app rather than through the listings on this page — see our Disney page.

Tours and tickets FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What should I book before arriving in Tokyo?
teamLab tickets, a Shibuya Sky sunset slot, any sumo or kabuki you want to see, the Ghibli Museum and, in peak seasons, your Mount Fuji day trip. Most other things can be booked a day or two ahead.
Are guided tours worth it in Tokyo?
The city is easy and safe to explore alone, so guides add most where language or logistics get in the way: food and bar tours, historical walks, and day trips with many scattered stops.
Can I cancel tours booked through GetYourGuide?
Most activities offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, but some tickets are non-refundable. The conditions are shown on each listing before you pay.
Is it better to visit Mount Fuji by tour or independently?
A tour is better value for a one-day visit to several viewpoints. Travelling independently suits those staying overnight at Lake Kawaguchiko. See Mount Fuji tours.
