I recently experienced the overwhelming, magical, and entirely unforgettable rush of Tokyo — and I learned one major lesson: planning is everything, but so is protecting your energy!

This is my carefully planned 7-day Tokyo itinerary.

Tokyo is a foodie playground where every street corner tempts you with sizzling plates, colourful desserts, and flavours you didn’t even know you needed. Whether you’re a curious traveller, an anxious diner seeking comfort, or a dessert-loving dreamer on a mission, here are the best places to eat in Tokyo—straight from my tastebuds to yours.

The last three days of our trip we ended up re-visiting some spots and just soaking up the Tokyo vibes. Japan has become one of my favourite places — but I know I’ll have to go back one day.

If you’re hoping to eat the iconic fluffy pancakes at Happy Pancake, you’re going to have to go a couple of hours early, scan the QR code and get on the virtual, waiting list. You’ll get contacted when your reservation is ready!
