Are you a newcomer to Tokyo? Probably you thought you would roam Tokyo every day, but you didn’t know there would be rain during your trip. If that’s the case, you are in the right place. I have something you may like to read, and at the end of the article, you would find out where to go on a rainy day in Tokyo.
At the same time, it also depends on what you like to do. But as a foreigner and long-time resident, I have learned many things about what is suitable for visitors.
Therefore, I put priority on some places below to visit on a rainy day in Tokyo according to my experiences.
Tokyo Skytree is the tallest tower in Japan, located in Sumida-Ku. The area is called Solamachi Town. However, it’s primarily famous as Skytree Town.
It’s a large shopping mall. Most of the world-famous fashions have a branch here. At the same time, you do not have to worry about restaurants. There is a food court, and you can find several kinds of food.
However, I recommend World Beer Museum Restaurant at Skytree Town on a rainy day.
Besides, the Sumida Aquarium is on the 5th and sixth floor with various kinds of fish. It’s one of the best aquariums in Tokyo’s 23 wards.
You can enjoy lovely hundreds of kinds of Jellyfish here. Visitors can experience a dreamy Jellyfish world standing on the Big Petri Dish Tank(see my Instagram reel about the Jelly Big Petri Dish here).
At the same time, Osawara Fish Tank is wonderful with lovely fish. Moreover, people enjoy the whole day forgetting about the rain.
If you wish, you can go up and enjoy the beauty of Tokyo from the Skytree Observatory Desk. Of course, if it is heavy rain, you may not be able to see far. But it worth visiting.
You can spend the whole at Skytree Town. So you will not feel bored at all on a rainy day in Tokyo.
Besides, the access to Tokyo Skytree is excellent. There are two stations and several train lines operate here. You can use any of the two stations.
1)Oshiage Station(Skytree)
2)Tokyo Skytree Station

Futako Tamagawa is one of the excellent places to visit on a rainy day in Tokyo. It is a train station with several shopping centers.
Here the main attraction is Rise Shopping Center. It is a vast and famous shopping brand in Japan.
It has several famous restaurants on the 7th floor where people enjoy their lunch. Besides, the center has several buildings connected with inter-bridges.
The most exciting part of the center is it has a roof garden and cinema hall. It is an excellent place to visit on a rainy day in Tokyo.

There are restaurants inside the aquarium. In addition, you can enjoy sea life in the aquarium.
Besides, the whole Kasai Rinkai Park is suitable for walking, and you can also enjoy nature and the beach on a rainy day.
No worries about a train. Find out ‘Kasairinkaikoen Station,’ and it is only two minutes walk.

Some people like to visit museums. If you are one of them, consider visiting the biggest museum in Japan in Ueno, Taito Ward.
The official name of the museum is called Tokyo National Museum. It is the biggest museum in Japan. It has several buildings.
However, do not forget to ask for a guidebook about the museum from the ticket counter. At the same time, ask something you want to know without hesitation. If you do, then it will be good for you to learn more about the museum.
It is about a 3-minute walk from Ueno Station. The museum is worth visiting on a rainy day in Tokyo.

Besides, it has a museum inside, called Mori Art Museum.
At the same time, Roppongi Hills has an Observatory Desk like Tokyo Skytree. So you can enjoy a nice view of Tokyo.
