Go to many parks!

I went to Tokyo last spring and never regretted going to parks and nature. Especially in the summer you need that shade. The coolest things we did:
- All-you-can-drink sake bar: bring you own food and pay for the hour. Test out obscure sakes made from rice, sweet potato, fruit. Talk to the bartenders!
- the tea house in Hamarikyu gardens was an oasis with affordable tea and sweets

- Walking around Nakameguro, Daikanyama and Ebisu. Residential areas with many small shops and cafés. The best bookshop = Tsutaya books

• - Best souvenirs (and things for ourselves) at Loft Shibuya. We spent many hours browsing! Don't forget to get everything tax free at the top floor.
