Highlights

Tokyo Skytree - Tokyo Skytree is a broadcasting and telecommunications tower in Tokyo. Standing at 2,080 feet (634 meters), it was the world’s second tallest structure, after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, when it opened on May 22, 2012. It is also the tallest freestanding tower globally, surpassing Tokyo Tower, the city’s previous tallest structure, by 988 feet (301 meters). The tower features two observation areas open to the public: the Tembo Deck and the Tembo Gallery. The three-level Tembo Deck includes an observation floor at 1,148 feet (350 meters) and two floors of restaurants. The Tembo Gallery consists of two floors connected by a winding ramp, with the higher floor situated 1,480 feet (451 meters) above ground.

Senso-ji Temple - Senso-ji Temple, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is a Buddhist temple in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo’s most vibrant and popular temples. This 1,400-year-old temple attracts 20 million visitors annually, making it Japan’s most visited temple. Why not pay a visit?

Shibuya Crossing - The expansive scramble intersection outside Shibuya Station epitomizes Tokyo: action in every direction. Three large television screens on the buildings facing the intersection flash continuously, while the area is illuminated with lights, advertisements, and more lights. It’s an undeniable must-see for any Tokyo trip.

Tsukiji Fish Market - Tsukiji Outer Market is Japan’s “Food Town,” offering a variety of traditional Japanese foods. The streets are lined with a mix of wholesale and retail shops, as well as numerous restaurants, where new culinary trends are born.

Imperial Palace - The current Imperial Palace is situated on the former site of Edo Castle, a vast park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in central Tokyo. It is the residence of Japan’s Imperial Family. Edo Castle was the seat of the Tokugawa shogun who ruled Japan from 1603 to 1867. After the shogunate was overthrown in 1868, the capital and imperial residence moved from Kyoto to Tokyo. The new Imperial Palace was completed in 1888. Although it was destroyed during World War II, it was rebuilt in the same style afterward.

Takeshita Street - Located in the heart of Harajuku, Takeshita Street is perfect for window shopping. Cute clothes overflow from shopfronts, and groups of school kids gather to enjoy sweet street food. In the 90s, Takeshita Street was known for counterfeit American and Japanese brands, giving it a colorful and fashionable reputation. It’s the epicenter of all things trendy and “weird” in Tokyo. Hard to imagine? Take a stroll and see what catches your eye.

Harajuku - Harajuku refers to the area around Tokyo’s Harajuku Station. It is the hub of Japan’s most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for adults and some historical sites of interest. The focal point of Harajuku’s teenage culture is Takeshita Street and its side streets, which are lined with trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothing stores, crepe stands, and fast food outlets catering to fashion-conscious teens.

Akihabara - Akihabara, also known as Akiba after a former local shrine, is a district in central Tokyo famous for its numerous electronics shops. It has also become recognized as the center of Japan’s otaku (diehard fan) culture. Many shops and establishments dedicated to anime and manga are scattered among the electronic stores in the district. On Sundays, the main street through the district is closed to car traffic from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM (until 5:00 PM from October through March).
