Tokyo & Japan: A Bucket List (for all the places that were, are, and could be home)

In 2022, I’d like to actively look outwards in the day-to-day, seeking one-of-a-kind experiences accessible in my own vicinity in Tokyo (and the Kanto Region), roughly at the rate of about once a week (e.g. taking advantage of a quiet weekday).

Below is a personal bucket list, something that I will add to and cross out as I go. If you’re reading this, I would love to hear your suggestions, and if you’re interested in any of these things, it would be great to see if we can tick them off together as well. Also, if there are any that you hadn’t thought of and like to add to your own list, that would be splendid too :)
