Meiji Jingu Shrine - Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Located next to the bustling Harajuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park form a large forested area within the densely built city. The spacious shrine grounds offer serene walking paths perfect for a leisurely stroll.
Completed and dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in 1920, the shrine was rebuilt after being destroyed in World War II.
Rikugien Garden - Rikugien (六義園) is often regarded as one of Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape gardens, alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Created around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien means “six poems garden” and features 88 scenes from famous poems in miniature. This Edo Period strolling garden includes a large central pond, manmade hills, and forested areas 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 expansive lawns, ponds, and forested areas. It’s an ideal spot for jogging, picnicking, and other outdoor activities.
While Yoyogi Park has fewer cherry trees compared to other Tokyo sites, it is a lovely spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring. The park is also 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, scenic landscape garden in central Tokyo. Located by Tokyo Bay, Hama Rikyu features seawater ponds that change with the tides and a teahouse on an island where visitors can relax and enjoy the view. The traditional garden contrasts sharply with the skyscrapers of the nearby Shiodome district.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s largest and most popular parks. A short walk from Shinjuku Station, the park’s vast lawns, winding paths, and tranquil scenery offer a peaceful escape from the bustling urban center. In spring, Shinjuku Gyoen is 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 central Tokyo district famous for its numerous electronics shops. Recently, Akihabara has also become recognized as the hub of Japan’s otaku (diehard fan) culture, with many shops and establishments dedicated to anime and manga 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. 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 the happiness of their 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. Originally a series of small fort islands (daiba means “fort”) built in the late Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo from sea attacks, the islands were later joined by landfills. Tokyo began developing Odaiba into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s, but progress slowed after the early 1990s economic bubble burst, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.
Tokyo National Museum - The Tokyo National Museum (東京国立博物館, Tōkyō Kokuritsu Hakubutsukan) is Japan’s oldest and largest national museum, alongside the Kyoto, Nara, and Kyushu National Museums. Established in 1972 at Yushima Seido Shrine and later moved to Ueno Park, the museum houses over 110,000 items, including nearly a hundred national treasures. Around 4,000 items from the permanent collection are on display at any time, with regular temporary exhibitions. Good 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 in Asakusa. It is one of Tokyo’s most vibrant and popular temples.
Legend has it that in 628, two brothers fished a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, from the Sumida River. Despite returning the statue to the river, it always came back to them. As a result, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess Kannon. Completed in 645, it is Tokyo’s oldest temple.
Shinjuku Golden Gai - Golden Gai is believed to have originated around 1950 when the black market near Shinjuku Station relocated, leading to the establishment of numerous eating and drinking spots. Despite Shinjuku’s modernization, Golden Gai has remained largely unchanged.
The narrow, crowded alley is filled with signs for various establishments, many housed in wooden buildings from the Showa Era. Most are only about thirteen square meters (142 square feet). The area is lively, with the aroma of grilling meats filling the air. Despite the many modern restaurants in Shinjuku, this alley continues to attract foreign tourists. Golden Gai is a popular “un-touristy” tourist spot.
Shibamata - Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on Tokyo’s eastern edge, near the Edogawa River, the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its old-world charm and offers a perfect escape from modern Tokyo. One of the main attractions is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, located near the station.
Nezu - Miraculously spared from major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two neighborhoods in Tokyo’s old downtown (shitamachi)—retain their historical charm. You’ll find sites like Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine among narrow alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops, and retro stores selling old-fashioned sweets and snacks. Here, you can experience a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.
Tokyo Tower - The retro-cute counterpart to Tokyo Skytree! This vermillion tower has been a Tokyo icon for generations and frequently appears in famous anime backgrounds.
