What’s New in Tokyo for 2020: Olympics, Amusement Parks, and New Shopping Experiences
-
- With the Olympics and Paralympics rapidly approaching, 2020 is sure to be a transformative year for Japan’s capital, Tokyo. To accommodate the large influx of travelers there will be changes in transportation, from trains to airports. Old favorites such as Shibuya, Ginza, Harajuku, and Ikebukuro are opening fantastic new buildings and stores. While new neighborhoods, such as Takeshiba in the Tokyo Bay Area, and the Toyosu Market area are rapidly developing into modern vacation destinations, with just a hint of historical flair. In this guide we will give you the rundown on what’s new in Tokyo in 2020, from new additions to Tokyo Disneyland, to sky-high shopping in Shibuya, and of course exquisite Sushi in Toyosu Market. Read on to find all you need to know to make the best of your Tokyo vacation. Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020 Tokyo has been in a flurry preparing for the spectacle of the Olympic (July 24, 2020 - August 9, 2020) and Paralympic (August 25, 2020 – September 6, 2020) games. Olympic schedule You can expect a futuristic twist on these great athletic events as Japan is putting a large focus on robotics. Cute robotic mascots will greet you at the stadiums, and they will even beam information back to robot counterparts located in remote support locations, called Ouen-mura. Ouen-mura will be installed at 2,000 locations nationwide in the summer of 2020 for millions of domestic and foreign visitors. So even if you don’t have tickets for that particular event you can still enjoy an Olympic atmosphere with fellow fans all over Japan. Tokyo has also recently unveiled a colossal New National Stadium located in Shinjuku, so be sure to head over to get that perfect photo of yourself at the 2020 Olympics! Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games 2020 New National Stadium ― What’s New in Shopper’s Paradise, Shibuya 1. Shibuya Scramble Square The newest landmark (and the tallest building) in Shibuya, is Shibuya Scramble Square (渋谷スクランブルスクエア). This gigantic complex features offices, shops, and an excellent observation deck, Shibuya Sky. Here you can enjoy panoramic views of Tokyo from inside and outside, while laying on a hammock, or while sipping coffee at the café. If you’re feeling brave the best photo op is at the Sky Edge, where you can look through glass at busy Shibuya below you. Adult admission at the door is JPY2,000, but keep an eye out for discounts on the official website. Advanced tickets from the official website give you a JPY100 ~ JPY200 discount. Shibuya Scramble Square Shibuya Sky Related Articles: ・Shibuya Scrambled Square & Shibuya Sky : Best Observation Deck in Tokyo 2. Shibuya PARCO For fashionistas and Anime-lovers alike, the best stop is the new Shibuya PARCO (渋谷パルコ). This modern mall has great designer stores, interesting pop-up shops, a large restaurant selection, rooftop garden, and our personal favorite – CYBERSPACE SHIBUYA. This anime, video game, and Japanese pop culture paradise features a Pokémon Center with a life size Mewtwo, a large Nintendo store which sells games and goods, a CAPCOM store, and a rotation of other shops, all on the sixth floor. Due to its novelty this mall is extremely busy on the weekends, so if you have the chance, we recommend scheduling a visit on a weekday instead. Nintendo store Nintendo store Pokémon Center 3. SHIBUYA FUKURAS Traveling in Tokyo just got a lot more convenient with the new SHIBUYA FUKURAS (渋谷フクラス) building. There is a bus terminal so you can arrive here straight from Narita or Haneda airports and on the same floor is Shibuya-san, a tourist information center with informative staff, free maps, and magazines. Visitors can also check their luggage for a small added fee. The iconic statue of loyal dog Hachiko has also been updated with a cute hologram on the second floor of the building in the Tokyu Plaza shopping mall. Finally, don’t miss hanging out and eating with robots at Pepper Parlor, starring the famed SoftBank robot herself. You can find it on the fifth floor. Pepper Parlor SHIBUYA FUKURAS 4. New Miyashita Park Once you need a break from Shibuya’s hustle and bustle head to Miyashita Park, which is set to be re-opened in the spring of 2020. It will feature an updated modern design, lots of greenery, space for strolling, and athletic facilities that everyone is welcome to use. New Miyashita Park 新宮下公園 New Miyashita Park 新宮下公園 Map ― A New and Convenient Tokyo – Changes in Transportation 1. New station: Toranomon Hills Station The Hibiya Line’s newest stop Toranomon Hills Station (虎ノ門ヒルズ駅) is sure to be a major travel hub for the 2020 Olympics. Just outside is wide, tree-lined avenue Shintora-dori, which will connect the athlete village and the stadium. Toranomon Hills Station 2. New station: Takanawa Gateway Station Also nearing completion is the Takanawa Gateway Station (高輪ゲートウェイ駅) , the busy Yamanote Line’s newest stop which will feature an AI guide robot and unstaffed convenience store. Though the station should be functional by spring 2020 some parts will likely still be under construction until 2024. Not to be left behind, Tokyo Station is planning to open around 70 more stores in 2020. Takanawa Gateway Station Event space 3. Harajuku Station As Japan hurtles towards the future it is unfortunately time to let go of the past, and to allow for a more modern station Harajuku Station (原宿駅) will be demolished after the Olympics and Paralympics. This is the oldest wooden station in Tokyo and its quaint European-style façade has been a part of the Harajuku landscape for almost 100 years. Harajuku Station ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

A Guide to 5 of the Best Amusement Parks in Japan
-
- Japan is home to a huge selection of amusement parks, some for the time travelers, some for the sightseers, and some for the thrill seekers. If you have a limited and don’t know which park to choose, here’s a guide to five of the country’s very different, but always exciting amusement park options. Nikko Edo Wonderland Nikko Edo Wonderland Before the futuristic rollercoasters of Japan, take a trip back in time to appreciate the nation's history at Nikko Edo Wonderland. Part living museum, part amusement park, Nikko’s Edo Wonderland aka Nikko Edomura is a recreation of what Japanese town life was like during the Edo Period (1603-1868). A fascinating destination for history and culture buffs, and plenty of fun for those with only a vague knowledge of Japan’s past, the town features functioning stores, display shop fronts, and interactive attractions including the Haunted Temple, home to spooky Japanese spirits, an illusion room and a challenging Ninja Trick Maze. Throughout the day there are live performances including sword battle reenactments and the occasional magic show. Guests are also encouraged to really get into the spirit by dressing up in Edo-era garb, all of which is provided on-site. Fuji Q Highland Fuji Q Highland Sitting at the foot of Mt Fuji, Fuji-Q Highland (Fuji-Q for short) is Japan’s most heart-stopping amusement park. Boasting incredible scenery and record-breaking roller coasters, it’s a must-visit destination for thrillseekers looking to get their adrenaline fix. The park’s main attraction is Fujiyama, a coaster which sits at a hair-raising 79 meters tall, in 1996 when it was built it was the world's tallest roller coaster. A newer addition to the park, Do-Dodonpa was built in 2001 and at the time was the world’s fastest coaster, hitting speeds of 180 kilometers per hour. The park’s other two major rides are Eejanaika, the world’s second ever ‘4th dimension’ coaster, and Takabisha, steepest roller coaster in the world. For those who like their entertainment options to be a little more subdued, the park also features mazes, Ferris wheel, a carousel, the locomotive themed Thomas Land, and an art museum. If you’re looking for somewhere to wind down after a long day on the rails, there’s also Fujiyama Onsen, a contemporary hot spring resort just outside the park gates. Yokohama Cosmo World Yokohama Cosmo World For an excellent family-friendly half-day excursion, add a visit to Yokohama Cosmo World, the retro-style amusement park just 30 minutes from Shibuya by train. It’s relatively compact, but this bayside hangout packs a lot in. Cosmo World features old-world rides like Yokohama's iconic Ferris wheel, arcade games, and a roller coaster that wraps around the outside of the park, as well as a few modern attractions like virtual reality experiences for good measure. If you’re looking for a more laid-back city escape or an addition to your Yokohama itinerary, be sure to check it out. Amanohashidate View Land Amanohashidate View Land Come to Amanohashidate in Kyoto prefecture for some of Japan's most scenic views, and stay for the amusements. Looking out onto the pine-covered sandbar that stretches along Miyazu Bay in the northern area of the prefecture is where you’ll find Amanohashidate View Land. Relatively humble compared to some of the country’s other amusement parks, it’s a fun-filled detour for those exploring the natural beauty of the area or paying a visit to Kasamatsu Park. Among the attractions, you’ll find go-karts, a roller coaster, and mini golf, perfect for guests of all ages. Tokyo Disney Resort Tokyo Disney Resort The most famous of all amusement parks not just in Japan, but potentially the world, visiting Tokyo Disney Resort is like stepping into a whole new world. The ‘resort’ is made up of two separate parks; Disneyland, and Disney Sea, the latter of the two is a one of a kind theme park that exists only in Japan. You can’t really go wrong choosing between the pair, but they have different attractions, Disneyland is more thrill-centric and features the famous rides Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain, as well as one-off Japan specialties like the Monsters, Inc.: Ride & Go Seek! While DisneySea is called the more adult of the two as it serves alcohol and features a few extra attractions for those who like to keep their feet planted firmly on the ground. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Where to Go in Minatomirai with Kids
-
- A little more laid back than its neighbor Tokyo, Yokohama is an excellent city to visit with the kids either for a fun-filled, jam-packed day trip or a more extended adventure. From old-fashioned amusement parks and waterfront views to unique museums a Pokemon paradise, there’s something for families of all sizes, budgets, and interests in Yokohama’s Minato Mirai (city center) district, here’s a guide. Yokohama Cosmo World Yokohama Cosmo World Located just a short stroll from Yamashita Park, it’s near impossible to miss the giant glittering Ferris Wheel that towers over the Yokohama waterfront. An iconic symbol of the city, it’s just one of the many attractions you’ll find at Yokohama’s Cosmo World, an amusement park that fits a lot into its compact grounds. An eclectic mix of both old-world charm and modern design, Cosmo World is a fail-safe family-friendly destination with rides, games and other attractions to suit all ages. It features a roller coaster, arcade games, and virtual reality experiences. Ideal for an afternoon adventure, the amusement park is easily accessible by foot from many of the city’s other tourist hubs and is a two-minute walk from Minatomirai Station. It’s open from 11am- until 9pm Monday to Friday (shut Thursday), and 11am - 10pm on weekends. Entry is free. Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama Cup Noodles Museum Yokohama One of the more unusual museums in Japan, the Nissin Cup Noodle Museum is one of Yokohama’s most popular attractions and surprisingly, rightly so. Much more than just a museum dedicated to the history of the cup noodle, it’s an interactive educational playground, art gallery and dining experience all rolled into one. Here you can create your own unique blend of cup noodles in the My Cupnoodles Factory, admire the modern art designed displays of cup noodle packaging over the years, and wander inside a replica of cup noodle creator Momofuku Ando’s work shed, the original home of the cup noodle. On the fourth floor, you’ll find Noodles Bazaar, a food court dedicated to different noodles from across the globe. The museum is open from 10am – 6pm daily and admission is 500 yen for adults, free for kids. Positioned just a few minutes from Yokohama Cosmo World by foot, you could easily combine the two for an excellent day adventure. Pokemon Centre Yokohama Pokemon Centre Yokohama Opening in November 2018, Yokohama’s Pokemon Centre was one of Marine City’s most highly anticipated attractions. Originally located Landmark Plaza, the newly designed center is bigger and features an aquatic theme inspired by its surroundings. Although it’s a slightly smaller incarnation of its Tokyo contemporary, the Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo, Yokohama’s Pokemon hub offers plenty to keep the kids occupied for a good hour. The main attractions include the games center and a seemingly endless selection of merchandise, so be prepared to part with your yen. Orbi Yokohama Orbi Yokohama If you’re on the hunt for a little respite in the heart of one of the most urban cities in the world, then don’t miss Orbi Yokohama, a digital museum dedicated to the natural world. Fusing real-world wonders with the advances of Sega's digital technology, and with the help of BBC Earth, this museum is a hands-on learning experience that offers endless discovery for all ages. Built to activate all five senses, the displays allow you to crawl the bottoms of the ocean and feel what it’s like to stand atop the highest mountain peaks, all while being inside the MARK IS commercial complex. There are also Indoor Wildlife Encounters where you can interact with real animals. It’s open from 9am - 9pm Monday to Thursday and 9am - 10pm Friday to Sunday and holidays. Admission is 800 yen for adults, 500 yen for high school students, 300 yen for elementary students and preschool age guests are free. Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum If your kids have a big appetite for learning, then there’s always the Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum. Predominantly aimed at children, many of the scientific displays are interactive and showcase Mitsubishi's latest technological innovations, focussing heavily on space exploration and environmental developments. It’s a little less well known than some of Yokohama’s other attractions, making it the ideal place to visit if you’re looking to avoid the crowds or kill some time on a rainy day. Located an eight-minute walk from Sakuragicho Station, it’s open from 10am - 5pm every day (but shut on Tuesdays). Admission is 500 yen for adults, 300 yen for junior high/High school students, and 200 yen for elementary school students. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
