Highlights
  • Sensō-ji - Senso-ji Temple, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is Tokyo’s oldest and most famous Buddhist temple. Located in the Asakusa district, it is dedicated to the Bodhisattva Kannon and is a significant cultural and religious landmark. Visitors can explore the temple grounds, admire the impressive architecture, and participate in traditional rituals such as purifying themselves with incense smoke and obtaining omikuji (fortunes).
  • Sumida Park - Sumida Park is a serene green space along the Sumida River, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling city. Visitors can stroll along the riverside pathways, relax on benches, and enjoy picturesque views of Tokyo’s skyline. The park is especially popular during cherry blossom season when its rows of cherry trees burst into bloom, attracting crowds of visitors for hanami (flower viewing) picnics.
  • Tokyo Skytree - Tokyo Sky Tree is a towering landmark and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo. While the tower itself offers breathtaking views from its observation decks, viewing it from the outside provides a perspective of its remarkable architecture and towering presence against the Tokyo skyline. Visitors can marvel at the tower’s distinctive design and capture stunning photos of its illuminated exterior, especially at night.
  • The Backstreet Guides - Exploring the backstreets of Tokyo offers a glimpse into the city’s local life and hidden gems. Away from the main thoroughfares, these narrow lanes are lined with traditional shops, cozy cafes, and intimate eateries, providing an authentic Tokyo experience. Visitors can wander through charming neighborhoods, interact with locals, and discover unique sights and sounds that define the essence of the city’s culture and lifestyle.
