The spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths perfect for a leisurely 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. The shrine was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

• Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Shinjuku Gyoen was developed 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 evolved as a palace garden for international diplomacy, 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. Constructed 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 a ruler to enjoy pleasure only after ensuring his people’s happiness. Koishikawa is the district where the garden is located.

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 initially 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 regularly held. Comprehensive English information and audio guides are available.

• Rikugien Garden - Rikugien (六義園) is often regarded as Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape garden alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien 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, featuring 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 series of small man-made fort islands (daiba means “fort”), constructed towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo from potential sea attacks, specifically in response to Commodore Perry’s gunboat diplomacy.

Over a century later, the small islands were merged into larger ones 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 “bubble economy” burst in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.

• Shibamata - Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on Tokyo’s eastern edge, not far from the Edogawa River, which serves as the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its nostalgic charm from days gone by and offers a perfect escape from modern Tokyo. One of the main attractions is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple, located near the station.
• Nezu Shrine - Having miraculously avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two neighborhoods that form part of 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.
