It became a government-managed agricultural experiment station in 1872 and later an imperial estate, completed in 1906 as an imperial garden. It developed as a palace garden for international diplomacy, was re-designated as a national garden after World War II, and opened to the public.
• Koishikawa Korakuen Garden - Koishikawa Korakuen (小石川後楽園, Koishikawa Kōrakuen) is one of Tokyo’s oldest and finest Japanese gardens. Built in the early Edo Period (1600-1867) at the Tokyo residence of the Mito branch of the ruling Tokugawa family, the garden was named Korakuen after a poem encouraging rulers to seek pleasure only after ensuring their people’s happiness.

It was originally established in 1972 at Yushima Seido Shrine and moved to its current location in Ueno Park a few years later.

The Tokyo National Museum boasts one of the largest and finest collections of art and archaeological artifacts in Japan, with over 110,000 items, including nearly a hundred national treasures. At any given time, about 4,000 items from the permanent collection are on display, and temporary exhibitions are held regularly. Good English information and audio guides are available.

• Rikugien Garden - Rikugien (六義園) is often considered Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape garden, alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien means “six poems garden” and recreates in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden is a prime example of an Edo Period strolling garden, featuring a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.
• Odaiba District - Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. It began as a set of small fort islands (daiba means “fort”), built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo from potential sea attacks, particularly in response to Commodore Perry’s gunboat diplomacy.

Over a century later, the small islands were joined into larger ones through massive landfills, and Tokyo launched a spectacular development project in the 1980s to transform the islands into a futuristic residential and business district. However, development slowed significantly after the burst of the “bubble economy” in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.

• Shibamata - Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on Tokyo’s eastern edge, near the Edogawa River, which forms the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its old-school charm and offers a perfect escape from modern Tokyo. One of the main attractions is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, located not far from the station.
• Nezu Shrine - Miraculously spared from major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two neighborhoods that make up shitamachi, Tokyo’s old downtown—retain their last-century charm. You’ll find historical sites like Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine nestled among shitamachi’s narrow back alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops, and retro stores selling old-fashioned sweets and snacks.
