The spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths perfect for a relaxing stroll.

The shrine was completed and dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in 1920, eight years after the emperor’s passing and six years after the empress’s passing. Although the shrine was destroyed during World War II, it was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

• Rikugien Garden - Rikugien (六義園) is often considered one of Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape gardens, alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien means “six poems garden” and recreates 88 scenes from famous poems in miniature. 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.
• Yoyogi Park - Yoyogi Park (代々木公園, Yoyogi Kōen) is one of Tokyo’s largest city parks, featuring wide lawns, ponds, and forested areas. It’s an excellent spot for jogging, picnicking, and other outdoor activities.

While Yoyogi Park has fewer cherry trees compared to other Tokyo sites, it is still a lovely spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring. Additionally, it is known for its ginkgo tree forest, which turns a brilliant gold in autumn.

• Takeshita Street - Harajuku (原宿) refers to the area around Tokyo’s Harajuku Station, situated between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the epicenter of Japan’s most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights.

The heart of Harajuku’s teenage culture is Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, lined with trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothing stores, crepe stands, and fast food outlets catering to fashion-conscious teens.

• Hama Rikyu Gardens - Hama Rikyu (浜離宮, Hama Rikyū) is a large, attractive landscape garden in central Tokyo.

The traditionally styled garden contrasts sharply with the skyscrapers of the adjacent Shiodome district.
• Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s largest and most popular parks. Located a short walk from Shinjuku Station, the park’s spacious lawns, meandering walking paths, and tranquil scenery offer a relaxing escape from the bustling urban center. In spring, Shinjuku Gyoen becomes one of the best places in the city to see cherry blossoms.
• Akihabara - Akihabara (秋葉原), also known as Akiba after a former local shrine, is a district in central Tokyo famous for its numerous electronics shops. In recent years, Akihabara has also become recognized as the center of Japan’s otaku (diehard fan) culture, with many shops and establishments dedicated to anime and manga now interspersed among the electronics stores. On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the main street through the district, is closed to car traffic from 13:00 to 18:00 (until 17:00 from October through March).
• Koishikawa Korakuen Garden - Koishikawa Korakuen (小石川後楽園, Koishikawa Kōrakuen) is one of Tokyo’s oldest and finest Japanese gardens. It was constructed in the early Edo Period (1600-1867) at the Tokyo residence of the Mito branch of the ruling Tokugawa family. Like its namesake in Okayama, the garden was named Korakuen after a poem encouraging a ruler to enjoy pleasure only after achieving happiness for his people. Koishikawa is the district where the garden is located.
• Odaiba District - Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a set of small man-made fort islands (daiba literally means “fort”), built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo against potential sea attacks, specifically in response to the gunboat diplomacy of Commodore Perry.

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

• Tokyo National Museum - The Tokyo National Museum (東京国立博物館, Tōkyō Kokuritsu Hakubutsukan) is the oldest and largest of Japan’s top-level national museums, which also include the Kyoto National Museum, the Nara National Museum, and the Kyushu National Museum. It was originally established in 1872 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, comprising over 110,000 individual items, including nearly a hundred national treasures. At any given time, about 4,000 different items from the permanent collection are on display. Additionally, temporary exhibitions are held regularly. Excellent English information and audio guides are available.

• Senso-ji Temple - Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo’s most vibrant and popular temples.

Legend has it that in the year 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, out of the Sumida River. Despite returning the statue to the river, it always came back to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it Tokyo’s oldest temple.

• Shibamata - Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on the eastern edge of Tokyo, 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 - 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. Discover historical sites such as 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-style sweets and snacks. Here, you can step back in time to a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.
• Tokyo Tower - The retro-chic version of Tokyo Skytree! This vermillion tower has been a symbol of Tokyo for generations and is featured in the background of many famous animes!
