What to Do in Tokyo During Summer Vacation 2026

Weathernews, one of the world’s largest private weather information companies, has forecast that temperatures in summer 2026 are expected to be higher than average across Japan, following the trend seen last year.

As the effects of global warming continue to intensify summer heat year after year, staying comfortable while enjoying your time outdoors has become increasingly important. In this article, we will introduce staff-recommended summer activities in Tokyo, including both outdoor experiences and indoor spots where you can cool off and relax.

・Shopping at Tokyo Skytree

Located about a 7-minute walk from Oshiage Station in Tokyo, Tokyo Skytree is easily accessible even on rainy days by walking through Tokyo Solamachi, which connects directly to the tower.

Opened in 2012, Tokyo Skytree stands 634 meters tall and is the world’s tallest freestanding broadcasting tower. The height of “634 meters” was chosen as a play on words with Musashi, the name of the former province that many Japanese people are familiar with.

In addition to enjoying panoramic views of Tokyo from the observation decks, visitors can explore Tokyo Solamachi, the shopping complex attached to the tower, which features around 320 stores offering fashion, lifestyle goods, restaurants, and more. During summer vacation, the facility also hosts a variety of events, including workshops for children and traditional summer festivals.

With plenty of indoor facilities where visitors can stay comfortable even on hot days, Tokyo Skytree is an ideal destination where families with children can spend an entire day enjoying shopping, dining, and entertainment.

・Sumida River Cruise by Water Bus

Next, we introduce a Sumida River cruise by water bus. Operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association, the cruise offers an easy and affordable way to enjoy Tokyo from the water, with one-way tickets available for around ¥2,000 for adults.

For those who want to avoid the heat during the day, a night cruise is also highly recommended. On routes departing from Asakusa, passengers can enjoy views of Tokyo Skytree while passing beneath Rainbow Bridge, taking in the cityscape and traditional downtown atmosphere from a unique waterfront perspective.

Onboard announcements introduce the history and highlights of the landmarks along the route, allowing passengers to not only enjoy the scenery but also learn about Tokyo’s culture and heritage. With a refreshing breeze and relaxing atmosphere, this is the perfect summer activity for experiencing Tokyo in comfort.

・Dolphin Shows at Shinagawa Aquarium

Next, we introduce Shinagawa Aquarium, where visitors can experience the wonders of the ocean right in the heart of Tokyo. The aquarium features around 450 species and approximately 10,000 marine creatures, offering a chance to explore a fascinating underwater world without leaving the city.

One of the aquarium’s most popular attractions is its spectacular dolphin show. The dolphins’ impressive jumps and perfectly synchronized performances are captivating for visitors of all ages, from children to adults.

The aquarium is comfortably air-conditioned and can be enjoyed regardless of the weather, making it an ideal destination during the hot summer months. Visitors can also observe penguins, seals, and other marine animals up close while taking a relaxing stroll through the exhibits. It is a perfect spot not only for families but also for friends and couples looking for a fun and memorable experience.

・Cycling on Izu Oshima Island

Next, we introduce cycling on Izu Oshima Island. Located just a short trip from central Tokyo, this beautiful island can be reached in approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes by high-speed jet ferry from Takeshiba Passenger Ship Terminal.

Visitors can rent bicycles on the island and enjoy a refreshing ride along coastal roads while taking in breathtaking natural scenery shaped by volcanic activity. The combination of ocean views, lush landscapes, and unique volcanic terrain makes cycling here a truly memorable experience.

Along the way, you can stop by scenic viewpoints, cafés, and hot springs, allowing you to explore the island at your own pace and enjoy its relaxed atmosphere.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Izu Oshima offers the perfect summer activity for reconnecting with nature and refreshing both your body and mind.
