The city that you should target visiting is Tokyo, and we’ll discover which exciting places are a must-visit for those who have a romantic streak in them.
Must-Do Activities for Lovers Visiting Tokyo
To give you an idea, here’s a look at the top 5 most romantic activities and places to visit which couples should not miss out on while visiting Tokyo:
1. Experience staying at a traditional, Japanese-style inn when visiting Tokyo
Whether or not it is your first time to visit Japan, you should definitely not miss out on doing things the way the locals do them. For example, instead of staying at a hotel which is pretty much similar to what you will be staying in back home, why not stay in a traditional Japanese-style inn or ryokan instead?
Some of the best ryokans can be found in Tokyo, featuring luxurious rooms with views of lush Japanese gardens. You can also relax in natural hot springs and have meals sent to your room.

2. Marvel at the sight from the top of the Roppongi Hills at night
Once you’ve already had your fill of the tourist spots in Tokyo, cap off the night with your loved one by visiting Roppongi Hills. It has an observation deck which is frequented by couples because of the stunning view of Tokyo that it offers at night. Bask in the view of Japan’s version of the Eiffel Tower which is the Tokyo Tower while sipping your drinks at the bar.

Finally, you can take a quiet stroll through one of the best Japanese-style gardens in Tokyo — Rikugien. It’s an off-the-beaten-path destination which gives you a lush view of the greenery and flowers all around, as well as a tiny teahouse overlooking the pond.
