There aren’t that many rides, but the main draw is the immersive experience and all the photo ops. You really need to be a big Pokémon fan, otherwise you might find it a little disappointing.

Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai
This new arm of Toyosu Market opened in February 202, buzzing with two areas to explore: a hub of food and tasty bites at Toyosu Jogai Edomae Ichiba and the hot springs day spa Tokyo Toyosu Manyo Club for all the best of food, shopping and ease at the hot springs.
I highly recommend trying the fresh seafood! Since it’s right next to Toyosu Market, the sashimi and seafood bowls are both super fresh.
The footbath upstairs is also definitely worth checking out. You can soak your feet while enjoying the view of Tokyo Bay. It’s a really nice place to relax after walking around, and the footbath is free to use. -

Shin-Okubo Korea Town
Shin-Okubo Koreatown is Tokyo’s largest Koreatown, located near Shin-Okubo Station, which is just 1 stop from JR Shinjuku Station. It is the heart of Tokyo’s Korean culture, and it’s packed with visitors who are on top of fashion trends.
Besides Korean food, the side streets also hide quite a few unique cafés and international restaurants. You can shop during the day, then have dinner and take in the night views in the evening. The whole area feels lively, and it’s one of Tokyo’s most distinctive neighborhoods.

Edo-Tokyo Museum
A museum offering a comprehensive look at the history and culture of Tokyo from the Edo period to the present day. Since opening in 1993, it has been a popular place to learn about Tokyo’s journey, and after major renovations, it reopened in March 2026. Highlights include a full-scale recreation of Nihonbashi Bridge and scale models of townscapes, offering a vivid look at the lives and culture of the people of the time.
My favorite part was the full-scale buildings and street models inside the museum. Every corner was crafted so beautifully, and the photos feel super immersive. If you take your time, you can easily spend the whole afternoon there.
