• Senso-ji Temple - Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple) is a renowned Buddhist temple situated in Asakusa. It stands as one of Tokyo’s most vibrant and well-loved temples. According to legend, in 628, two brothers discovered a statue of Kannon, the goddess of mercy, in the Sumida River. Despite returning the statue to the river, it consistently reappeared to them. As a result, Sensoji was constructed nearby in honor of the goddess Kannon. The temple was completed in 645, making it the oldest temple in Tokyo.

• Imperial Palace - Located on the former site of Edo Castle, this expansive park area is encircled by moats and massive stone walls in central Tokyo, just a short walk from Tokyo Station. It serves as the residence of Japan’s Imperial Family.

Edo Castle was once the seat of the Tokugawa shogun, who governed Japan from 1603 to 1867. In 1868, the shogunate was overthrown, and the capital and imperial residence were relocated from Kyoto to Tokyo. By 1888, the construction of a new Imperial Palace was completed. Although the palace was destroyed during World War Two, it was subsequently rebuilt in the same style.

• Akihabara - Akihabara, also known as Akiba after a former local shrine, is a district in central Tokyo renowned for its numerous electronics shops. In recent years, Akihabara has become recognized as the hub of Japan’s otaku (enthusiast) culture, with many stores and establishments dedicated to anime and manga now interspersed among the electronic shops in the area. On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the main street through the district, is bustling with activity.

• Takeshita Street - Harajuku refers to the area surrounding Tokyo’s Harajuku Station, located between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the epicenter of Japan’s most extreme teenage cultures and fashion trends, while also offering shopping for adults and some historical attractions.

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

• Shinjuku Golden Gai - Golden Gai is believed to have originated around 1950 when the black market that had emerged in front of Shinjuku Station relocated, and numerous dining and drinking establishments set up in this new area. Although Shinjuku has seen significant modernization since then, Golden Gai has largely remained unchanged.

The alley is narrow and crowded with countless signs advertising the various establishments along the way. Many of the buildings are wooden, remnants from the Showa Era. Most measure only about thirteen square meters (one hundred forty-two square feet). It’s a dim, lively place filled with the enticing aroma of grilling meats. Despite the abundance of sleek new restaurants in Shinjuku, this quaint alley continues to attract foreign tourists. Golden Gai is a favored “un-touristy” tourist destination.
