Located next to the JR Yamanote Line’s bustling Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park form a large forested area within the densely built-up city. 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. The shrine was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

• Shibuya Crossing - Experience the famous and bustling Shibuya scramble crossing, one of the busiest parts of Tokyo!
• Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Shinjuku Gyoen was constructed on the site of a private mansion belonging to a “daimyo” (feudal lord) Naito during the Edo era (1591). A government-managed agricultural experiment station was established in 1872, and it later became 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. It was built 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.

• Akihabara - Akihabara (秋葉原), also known as Akiba after a former local shrine, is a district in central Tokyo renowned for its many electronics shops. In recent years, Akihabara has gained recognition as the center of Japan’s otaku (diehard fan) culture, with many shops and establishments devoted to anime and manga now interspersed among the electronic stores in the district. 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).
• 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 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, comprising over 110,000 individual items, including nearly a hundred national treasures. At any given time, about 4,000 different items from the permanent museum collection are on display. Additionally, temporary exhibitions are held regularly. Excellent 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 literally 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 and features 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 originated as a set of small man-made fort islands (daiba literally means “fort”), constructed 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 by massive landfills, and Tokyo embarked on a spectacular development project aimed at transforming the islands into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s. However, development was critically slowed after the burst of the “bubble economy” in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.

• Shibamata - Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on the eastern edge of Tokyo, not far from the Edogawa River, which serves as the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its old-school charm from yesteryear 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 - Having miraculously avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two of the neighborhoods that make up shitamachi, Tokyo’s old downtown—retain their last-century charm. You’ll find historical sites such as Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine tucked away 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.
