So what kind of fun and bizarre things await you on such a small collection of islands? Here\u2019s a list of <strong>fun things to do in Japan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Check out the amazing things to do in Japan<\/h2>\n<h3>Arcades<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arcade-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Fun things to do in Japan\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arcade-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arcade-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arcade-1-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Arcade-1.jpg 626w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whilst arcades have almost entirely died out in most Western countries, <strong>Japan\u2019s arcade scene<\/strong> is absolutely thriving. These arcades are nothing like the ones you may remember going to as a child. Sometimes, they take up multiple floors within a building and a completely stacked with all sorts of Japanese games that never saw the light of day outside of their home country. From claw machines to shooters to all the fighting games you can imagine, these arcades are not to be missed!<\/p>\n<h3>Tokyo Robot Restaurant<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_3422\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3422\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Robot-Restaurant-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Fun things to do in Japan\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Robot-Restaurant-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Robot-Restaurant-1-542x362.jpg 542w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Robot-Restaurant-1-335x224.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Robot-Restaurant-1.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Picture Courtesy: Pinterest<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Have you ever wanted to <strong>dine with robots<\/strong>? Perhaps such a thought has never even crossed your mind, but it is possible to do so at the <strong>Tokyo Robot Restaurant<\/strong>! Okay, so the name of this destination is somewhat misleading. Whilst there are dinner boxes and popcorn to purchase, the real attraction is the 90-minute show held on a regular basis. The show features neon lights, lasers, robots, dinosaurs and all kinds of musical performers. This is a show you most certainly won\u2019t forget!<\/p>\n<h3>Shopping at Akihabara<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/akihabara-300x200-1.png\" alt=\"Travel - TicketsToDo\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Are you a fan of Japanese animation, electronics or other media? Then look no further than <strong>Akihabara<\/strong>! This district in Tokyo is famous for providing all kinds of electronic and geek goods spanning from anime merchandise to PC parts and video games. A must-visit for all those into geek culture. Make sure to bring a fair amount of cash as products are quite often not cheap!<\/p>\n<h3>Climb Mt.

Standing at 3.77 kilometers, this <strong>active volcano<\/strong> is considered sacred and is often visited by tourists and pilgrims alike. Climbing this mount is a real achievement for anyone and is a memory you most certainly won&#8217;t forget.<\/p>\n<h3>Kyoto<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-570 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kyoto-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kyoto-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kyoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kyoto-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.ticketstodo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Kyoto.jpg 701w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once the capital of Japan, <strong>Kyoto<\/strong> shows a totally different side of Japan to Tokyo.
