    Right at the foot of Tokyo Skytree, this large shopping complex has more than 300 stores, offering everything from food, desserts, and souvenirs to all kinds of household goods. There are so many choices that you could spend the whole day here without getting bored!

    The complex blends Japanese tradition, old downtown charm, and international elements. Browsing and eating along the way feels like taking a little trip around Japan, or even around the world.

    This is a great place to spend an entire day. Eat whenever you want, shop whenever you want, and when you get tired, find a café, sit down, and leisurely enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in a Tokyo afternoon.

    With Tokyo Skytree, food, and shopping all in one place, TOKYO Solamachi is definitely worth adding to a self-guided Tokyo itinerary.

    When visiting Tokyo Skytree, don’t just take photos and check in—be sure not to miss the shopping mall on the first floor. In addition to all kinds of popular brands, it has many Japan-exclusive products and distinctive shops, with plenty to browse, from souvenirs and anime merchandise to household goods, food, and desserts. Some items are limited editions that are hard to find elsewhere. If you want to take your time hunting for treasures, set aside some extra time so you can really enjoy exploring!

    The first thing to do at TOKYO SKYTREE is go up to the observation deck. The second is visit the Pokémon Center, the third is buy some delicious cookies, and the fourth is browse the small gift shops here. The mascot at this Pokémon Center is Rayquaza, and I was lucky enough to get this store's exclusive pin. Rayquaza is really cool. TOKYO SKYTREE also has the very famous Tokyo fries shop AND THE FRIET, but I still prefer the texture of Jaga Pokkuru.

    A long-established kamameshi restaurant tucked beside a lively neighborhood. If you like kamameshi, you definitely shouldn’t miss it! Each order is made fresh, so you’ll need to wait about 20 minutes. They also offer free Wi-Fi inside!

    The mall is really big and there are lots of shops, but on weekends there are honestly way too many people, which makes walking around a bit annoying.
    The lines for the restaurants are crazy, and the prices are on the touristy side.
    It’s fine to stop by if you’re passing through, but I wouldn’t make a special trip to come here again.
