A daruma comes with blank eyes: you paint one in when you make a wish and the other when it comes true. Painting your own in Tokyo takes an hour or so, in Ginza, Shinjuku or Asakusa. They’re round and light, so they survive a suitcase better than most souvenirs.
Discover how making your own Japanese daruma doll in Tokyo offers a personalized, relaxing cultural experience with expert guidance and delightful refreshments.

Tokyo rewards a plan: a sumo morning, a ramen night, a day out to Fuji. These are the lists I'd work from.
