Do you study every travel deal that finds its way into your inbox? Catch yourself habitually stalking travel hashtags? You need a holiday stat and Higashikurume, a neighbourhood in Tokyo, is shouting your name. One of the best bits of travelling is the people you meet along the way. And with 8,300,000 locals calling the capital of Japan home, there's loads of opportunities to make a few new BFFs. After touching down and collecting your bags at Haneda Airport, your taxi will need to travel 35 kilometres northwest to reach Higashikurume. From the city's centre, it's a distance of 25 kilometres to the west.
A good number of this city's top sights are sprinkled near Higashikurume, and Inokashira Park and the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum are some of the very best. After taking a look at those, you're going to want to head onwards to Sayama Ski Area and Seibuen Amusement Park. For a better perspective of this city as a whole, spend some time in the nearby neighbourhoods of Nishitokyo and Hoya-shi.
No stay in Tokyo would be complete without venturing to Tokyo Tower. As far as must‐see sights go, it's one of the best. It's just 2 kilometres from the centre of the city.
The centre of the city is also home to a range of sights to lay your eyes on, such as Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and Tsukiji Fish Market. To get an even better feel for your surrounds, also call in at Yasukuni Shrine and the Tokyo National Museum.
Local galleries like the Hirakushi Denchu Art Museum and the Mitaka City Gallery of Art are a window into the creative history of the region. Why not find out if there are any upcoming openings and discover some of the wonderful works?
Sometimes it's the most talked about exhibits that jump out at us. Other times it's a forgotten treasure that's been stored away in a darkly lit corner. Keep a lookout for both at the Tamarokuto Science Center, the Tokorozawa Aviation Museum, Bridgestone Museum of Art and Folk Museum of Higashimurayama.
Whether you're itching to sit under a tree with a book or hang out with some friends, the nearby green spaces are charming places to be. Take your pick from Koganei Park, Musashino Central Park, Musashiseki Park and Makino Memorial Garden & Museum.
If you're intrigued by sacred places, you will love the Daizenin Temple, the Tokuzoji Temple, Kitsuki Taisha Shrine and the Enmeiji Temple.
Dress yourself from head to toe in blue, white and red, head to Seibu Dome and heartily cheer on the Saitama Seibu Lions. A trip here is obligatory for any true baseball fan!
Want a recommendation? The Kichijoji Daiichi Hotel and Kichijoji Tokyu REI Hotel are on par when it comes to quality service and a good night's rest.
