  The current Imperial Palace is situated on the former site of Edo Castle, a vast park area encircled by moats and impressive stone walls in central Tokyo, 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. The construction of a new Imperial Palace was completed in 1888. The palace was destroyed during World War II and subsequently rebuilt in the same style.

• Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden - Shinjuku Gyoen is one of Tokyo’s largest and most beloved parks. Located a short walk from Shinjuku Station, the park’s expansive lawns, winding paths, and serene scenery offer a peaceful retreat from the bustling urban center. In spring, Shinjuku Gyoen becomes one of the city’s top spots for cherry blossom viewing.
• Rikugien Garden - Rikugien is often regarded as Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape garden, alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Created around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien means “six poems garden” and features miniature representations of 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden exemplifies an Edo Period strolling garden, with a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.

• Hama Rikyu Gardens - Hama Rikyu is a large, picturesque landscape garden in central Tokyo.

The traditional garden contrasts sharply with the skyscrapers of the nearby Shiodome district.
• 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 busy 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 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 passing. It was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

• 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 their people’s happiness. Koishikawa is the district where the garden is located.
• 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, it moved to its current location in Ueno Park a few years later. The museum boasts one of Japan’s largest and finest collections of art and archaeological artifacts, with over 110,000 items, including nearly a hundred national treasures. Approximately 4,000 items from the permanent collection are displayed at any given time, along with temporary exhibitions. Comprehensive 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, renowned for its vibrant and popular atmosphere. 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 always came back to them. Consequently, Sensoji was built nearby for the goddess Kannon. Completed in 645, it is Tokyo’s oldest temple.
• Rikugien Garden - Rikugien (六義園) is often regarded as Tokyo’s most beautiful Japanese landscape garden, alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Created around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien means “six poems garden” and features miniature representations of 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden exemplifies an Edo Period strolling garden, with a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all 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. Although Yoyogi Park has fewer cherry trees than other Tokyo sites, it offers a pleasant cherry blossom viewing experience in spring. Additionally, it is 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, 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, lined with trendy shops, fashion boutiques, vintage clothing stores, crepe stands, and fast-food outlets catering to fashion-conscious teens.
• 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 at the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo from potential sea attacks, particularly in response to Commodore Perry’s gunboat diplomacy. Over a century later, the small islands were merged into larger ones through extensive landfills, and Tokyo embarked on a grand 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, near the Edogawa River, which serves as the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its nostalgic charm from days gone by, offering a delightful 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 that form part of shitamachi, Tokyo’s old downtown—retain their historical charm. Discover historical sites like Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine nestled among shitamachi’s narrow alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops, and retro stores selling nostalgic sweets and snacks. Here, you can step back in time to a more leisurely, genteel Tokyo.
• 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 shop in this new area. Despite Shinjuku’s significant modernization since then, Golden Gai has remained largely unchanged. The narrow alley is filled with countless signs advertising the various establishments lining the way. Many of the buildings are wooden, remnants from the Showa Era, and measure only about thirteen square meters (142 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 little alley continues to attract foreign tourists. Golden Gai is a popular “un-touristy” tourist destination.
• Tokyo Tower - Access is limited to the main deck; the top deck is not included
