5. Shibuya Featuring Tokyo’s most photographed area, the Shibuya Pedestrian Scramble, this hyperactive area has lots of people watching and window shopping opportunities for budget travelers.

6. Edo-Tokyo Museum Offers the most comprehensive information on Tokyo’s history, architecture and culture. The low price more than pays for itself.

While most visitors just skip ahead to Ghibli Museum, Kichijoji is well worth spending an afternoon in with its blend of local bargains and less crowded tourist spots.
