Tips on how to arrange an unforgettable romantic date in Tokyo. A list of romantic bars in Tokyo, romantic restaurants in Tokyo, and some romantic ideas that will make your heartbeat.
1. Combine a top-class restaurant or bar with a romantic view of the urban lights – for a very romantic evening. This is one of the most romantic places in Tokyo – the Park Hyatt Hotel in the center of Shinjuku, where the movie “Lost in Translation” was filmed. You probably remember the scene with Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson at the “New York Bar” on the 52nd floor of the hotel. You can’t go wrong with a cool vibe, live jazz, and great views of Tokyo – the ultimate romantic hideaway.
2. My second choice would be the observation deck at Roppongi Hills – the 360-degree view of the city of Tokyo at night is amazing!! There is a bar (which should be the tallest in the city) on the same floor with transparent walls and shelves, so you can enjoy the stunning view of Tokyo while drinking. While you’re there, take in the excellent views of Tokyo Tower – the Japanese version of the Eiffel Tower. This is a classic romantic scene at night.
3. Zen-like serenity in Ryokan – a traditional Japanese-style inn, can promise many romantic moments. Ryokans feature luxurious rooms, spectacular views of Japanese gardens, relaxing natural hot springs, and in-room meals. A day in the ryokan is a cultural encounter, and can almost guarantee a romantic time. I’ve heard that some people consider it a good place to propose.
4. For a quiet and meditative stroll, one of the most popular places for dating in Tokyo is the Japanese Garden. You will see the Japanese couple sitting quietly on a bench, watching the change of seasons.
5. If you’re more on the adventurous side – the giant Ferris wheel in Palette town, Odaiba, is a very romantic option. Imagine sitting in a private capsule, with a spectacular view of Tokyo below you. After the romantic ride continues to Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba Seaside Park.
6. Looking for something as exciting as it is romantic? One of the most romantic things to do is take a helicopter flight over Tokyo. Fear and excitement are sure ways to make your heart beat faster.
