💰 How far does your money go?
A pint in Dublin now costs over €7. In Tokyo, a cold beer at an izakaya runs around €4, and a proper bowl of ramen rarely tops €6, cheaper than a meal deal on Grafton Street. A full dim sum-style set lunch with tea costs about the same as a coffee and pastry back home.
☀️ The Weather
Tokyo runs warm and humid through September, with highs around 27-28°C easing to the low 20s by month's end. October settles into something gentler: highs near 22°C, lows around 14-15°C, and far less rain, the best stretch for walking the city without melting or freezing.

🎯 What to Do
A city that swings from ancient shrines to neon towers within a single subway ride.
Shibuya Crossing and Sky — Stand in the world's busiest intersection, then ride up the Shibuya Sky observation deck for the skyline view.
Senso-ji Temple, Asakusa — Tokyo's oldest temple, framed by the giant red Kaminarimon lantern and a market street of street snacks.
Shinjuku's Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho — Tiny alleyway bars and yakitori stalls, some seating only six people at a time.
Tsukiji Outer Market — Early-morning tuna, tamagoyaki and street food stalls that have fed the city for decades.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Tokyo doubles as a launchpad for the rest of the Kanto region.
Hakone — Hot springs and Mount Fuji views, about 1.5 hours away by train, cable car and boat.
Nikko — UNESCO-listed shrines set in the mountains, roughly 2 hours north by train.
Kamakura — A giant bronze Buddha, temples and a beach, an hour south of the city.
One stop, under €600, and two months of dates to pick from. Tokyo doesn't come this cheap for long.
