Tokyo doesn’t just have the advantage of being one of the safest cities in the world; its people are busy, so many establishments are geared to solo customers. Get your bearings with a walking tour of the city. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, you’ll find a range of options with many restaurants offering counter seats perfect for those dining alone. Ramen is a cheap option, with chain store Ichiran famous for its solo dining booths.

Some things are just more fun with friends. Stroll the beautiful Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden or Hama-rikyu Gardens. Japanese cuisine is world famous so try your hand at learning to make some dishes by taking a cooking class! Any evening with a group of friends must involve a visit to an izakaya, a Japanese-style pub with small dishes shared by the whole table, followed by karaoke.
