Welcome to 'Things to do in Tokyo' on this sunny Sunday, June 29, 2025 As you step out into the city, you'll be greeted by warm weather and a vibrant atmosphere that's quintessentially Tokyo. The air quality is pleasant, making it a perfect day to explore this bustling metropolis.

Today, Tokyo is buzzing with a variety of exciting events. If you're interested in art, the "Straddling the Rain: An Exhibition by Takeshi Hayashi" at BTAP Gallery is a must-visit, although it's your last chance as it wraps up today. For those who love unique exhibitions, the "Fe_Ca_Sn Exhibition" at Kaamer, Tokyo, kicks off today and runs until July 6, offering a fascinating blend of art and science.

In the realm of cultural festivals, while the main events of Tokyo Pride 2025 took place earlier in June, there are still various LGBTQ+-themed activities happening around the city, celebrating diversity and inclusivity. If you're looking for something more traditional, the Bunkyo Hydrangea Festival, which started on June 7, is still in full bloom and offers a serene escape amidst the city's hustle and bustle.

For nightlife enthusiasts, the Rémy Martin and Backdoor Bodega Guest Bartender Event at Grand Hyatt Tokyo, although it occurred on June 20 and 21, sets the tone for the city's dynamic bar scene. You might want to check out other top bars like those in Golden Gai for a unique drinking experience.

In local news, Tokyo is always evolving, with new restaurant openings and public transit updates. For instance, the city's famous Tsukiji Market continues to be a hotspot for food lovers, and renting bikes from Tokyobike is a great way to explore the city's hidden gems.

If you're looking for must-do activities today, start your day early at the Tsukiji Market to experience the fresh seafood and lively atmosphere. Take a stroll through Harajuku Street to see the latest fashion trends and enjoy the eclectic food scene. For a family-friendly activity, visit the Meiji Shrine and its beautiful grounds, which offer a peaceful retreat from the city's chaos.

Here's a local tip: When navigating Tokyo, remember that the city's train system, although complex, is incredibly efficient. Downloading a transit app can help you navigate like a local, and don't hesitate to ask for help – the locals are known for their hospitality.

As we wrap up today's adventures, keep an eye out for tomorrow's exciting events. The Japanese Tea and Live Koto Music Party is a unique cultural experience you won't want to miss. Tune in tomorrow for more updates and insider tips on how to make the most of your time in this incredible city. Until then, enjoy the sights, sounds, and flavors of Tokyo
