I’m looking for recommendations in Tokyo for Culture day on Monday November 3rd. It will the first full day of my first visit to Japan, I’ll be with my 18 year old daughter.
I’ve done some googling and haven’t seen many specifics for activities or celebrations, so I’m wondering if there is just a general celebratory vibe that we can experience by picking a neighborhood or if certain areas should be in the top of our list to explore? Potentially Ueno Park or Meiji Jingu – anybody experience these places on culture day and have suggestions or recommendations on choosing one over the other? Or something/somewhere else?
I’m not interested in visiting museums on this day, even though they are free, as I’d rather visit during a time and day that could be less busy. I’m from an incredibly rural place in Canada and Tokyo is a bit daunting to be sure, so I’m eager to have a sense of what should be our plan and to take advantage of visiting on Culture Day. Appreciate any help!
