In another stylish snap, Lily turned heads in a white semi-sheer blouse featuring a unique black spray-paint print as the duo enjoyed an evening of delicious cuisine.
Meanwhile, Gala looked effortlessly chic in a black bandeau top as she grinned alongside Lily during their fun-filled trip.
Sharing the stunning snaps to Instagram, Lily gushed: 'Tokyo, I love you.'
The holiday snaps come after Lily cut a chic figure as she joined Elle Macpherson at Dior's runway show in Kyoto, Japan in April.
The actress showed off her sophisticated sense of style in a plunging black dress as she posed at the event held at the Toji Temple.
She boosted her height with pearl-adorned heels and accessorised with gold hoop earrings while styling her honey tresses into perfect waves.
Model Elle, 61, meanwhile wore a gorgeous silk embroidered white jacket which she teamed with wide-leg trousers.
She clutched a small white handbag from the luxury brand and sported a perfect bouncy blowdry.
Lily's appearance at the fashion show comes after she celebrated her 36th birthday earlier this year at a Michelin-starred restaurant in North London with her famous friends.
The star splashed out on a private dining room at modern Italian restaurant, Luca, not far from Lily's Grade-II listed £3million home.
Hiring a private space at the lavish eatery which has a minimum spend of £650, with the chef's fixed menu, including a wine pairing with each course, costs nearly £200 per person.
Lily was all smiles as she was joined by several close friends including her Mamma Mia! co-star, Dominic Cooper, his girlfriend, actress Gemma Chan, actress Gala Gordon and socialite Poppy Delevingne, older sister of model Cara.
Gala and Poppy took to Instagram to share pictures showing Lily looking happier than ever as she celebrated her day.
She looked relaxed in a khaki sleeveless dress cut away at the waist, showing off her slender frame.
The Surrey-born star and her friends drank champagne and red wine while feasting on a menu with mouth-watering items including £68 beef ribeye, £49 lamb with spiky artichoke and pine nuts and fresh pasta dishes such as £46 prawn taglierini.
At the end of the meal, Lily was treated to a big white birthday cake adorned with multi-coloured candles, meringue balls and an icing photo of herself as a child in an early acting role.
'Keep shining my girl - this is your year,' her close friend Gala captioned a video online.
Gala is an executive producer of Swiped, the film starring Lily as Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of dating app Bumble, due out this year. Gala is also co-founder of a film production company, Parados Productions, with Lily.

Squid Game season three breaks Netflix viewership record
The third and final season of hit Korean series Squid Game has broken records to achieve the biggest ever TV launch for Netflix. Over its first three days, there have been over 60.1m views, a new high for the streamer with over 368.4m hours viewed. The second season launched with 68m views but over a four-day period last December. It has already become the ninth biggest non-English language season ever with the first and second seasons occupying the top two slots. Reviews have been mixed to positive with the Guardian's Rebecca Nicholson calling it 'nowhere near as pointed as it was' in previous seasons. While this has been called the final season, David Fincher has been rumoured to be developing an English language remake for the streamer. The director has worked with Netflix before on political drama series House of Cards, film industry biopic Mank and Michael Fassbender action thriller The Killer. Earlier this year, it was announced that he would work with them once again to direct a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood based on a script by Quentin Tarantino. The streamer has already found success with competition spin-off Squid Game: The Challenge with a second season on the way. When asked about future Squid Game projects, series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told Variety that he hadn't heard anything official yet about a remake. 'If they wanted to do a following season, then I think it's obvious I would have to participate and lead,' he said. 'But if it's the US version that they're making, I think sharing of ideas would be enough. I have no intention of being completely hands-on in a project like that. Having said that, if Netflix asks and if I feel like my contribution is needed, then as long as it's not something that would interfere with whatever I'm working on at that time, I would be happy to provide what they need from me.'
