    Users Assigned: Shimizu77  
    From here, broad gravel paths lead to the honden (the sanctum of the shrine), destroyed in the air raids of 1945 and restored in 1958, and the Imperial Treasure House museum.

    The Meiji emperor presided over the emergence of Japan as a modern nation state, and his shrine is surely the most solemn, decorous place in Tokyo. During the annual festival (31 October through 3 November) and on new Year’s Day, as many as a million people will come to offer prayers and pay their respects. Spring and summer make better visits, when you can admire the irises and flowering shrubs of the inner gardens.

      • Takeshita Street

        Takeshita Street, Takeshita-dori, just across the railway bridge from Yoyogi park, continues this spirit of Avant-fashion with gangs like the cos-play-zuku, groups of mostly female youngsters in manga-inspired costumes and lemon and blue lipstick, turning the narrow street into a lively and impromptu catwalk of the new and bizarre.

        Takeshita Street 1 Chome-19 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001, Japan
      • Yoyogi Park

        The park is remarkable chiefly for the National Yoyogi Sports Center, comprising two stadiums designed by architect Tange Kenzo.

        The park itself was once a parade ground for the imperial Japanese army. After World War II it was taken over by the Occupation for military housing and nick named “Washington Heights,” then redeveloped as the Olympic Village site for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Game.

        By the 1980s thanks to the broad avenues and new subway stops built for the games, this had become one of the coolest, liveliest, and place where the youngest trendiest people live, neighborhood in the city.

        Street foods to try, body painting to see, the in your face-fashion, the photo opportunities; maybe on a warm spring afternoon Youyogi Park might be more fun than any other place in town!

      • Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
        Originally a feudal estate, this collection of gardens (in Japanese, French, and English styles) became part of the imperial household after the Meiji Restoration and in 1949, a public park- the ultimate oasis in this quarter of the city.

        Shinjuku Gyoen is famous for its botanical greenhouse, for its flowering cherry trees in April, and for its chrysanthemum exhibition during the first two weeks of October.

      • Tokyo
        Japan’s capital is a hurtling, modernized city in which fads come and go in days and everything seems to be electronic. Its extraordinary subway system is a test of your traveler’s nous, while its humming shopping districts welcome visitors to shopping themes that could only be here: shops dedicated to dressing as cartoon characters, half a plane being used to promote hair accessories, and even a tiny corner shop with an unsubtle specialization: Condomania.

        Underneath the glimmering façade, however, Tokyo still has its traditional side. You can stare across the clear water moat at the Imperial Palace (but, sadly, get no closer), head to the Meiji Jingu Shrine and gape wide-eyed at the mammoth lanterns labeled with oversized Chinese characters, or watch the cherry blossoms fall from the trees of Ueno Park in spring. At the shrines, grab a fortune, ask for a translation, and then tie it to the fluttering strings for luck.

        At the other end of the spectrum there’s Tokyo Central, where a meal means Sushi grabbed one plate at a time from a tiny conveyor belt, and the local teenagers drift around in costume, never stepping out of character. Check out Shibuya and see the young fashion walking the streets. Explore the Tsukiji fish market – the world’s largest – before heading over to ‘geek paradise’ and snapping up a handful of pages of the cartoon artwork fully grown men like to read on the subway.

        There are so many ‘only in Japan’ experiences to be had that you could spend your entire trip doing them. Head to the Sento public baths and relax for the evening, spend a night in a tiny ‘pod’ hotel, stacked up against a wall, slurp Sake in a pricey bar or take an Origami class in a room with paper doors. There’s the Asahi brewery to investigate, Tokyo’s own Disneyland, and the markets displaying extraordinarily ornate fans and tiny mechanical advices to take home with you.

        Tokyo is huge, and it would take years to see it all. Then again, you can pick out your highlights in a few days, and never be bored for a month. Just don’t turn up with a tight budget.

      • Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
        The city Hall complex was architect Tange Kenzo’s magnum opus, arguably the last great work of this career. It was a staggeringly expensive project, and taxpayers have had an ongoing love-hate relationship with its postmodern monumental design since it was completed in s1991.

        The complex consists of a 48-story main office building, a 34-story annex, the Metropolitan Assembly building, and a huge central courtyard. The main building soars 243 m (797ft.) splitting on the 33rd floor into two towers.

        Weather permitting, the observation decks on the 45th floors of both towers offer views all the way to Mt. Fuji.

      • Shibuya
        When you hear the name "Shibuya", those in the know immediately think of the fashion mecca of youth in Tokyo. This area in the vicinity of Shibuya's main train station is an incredible array of people, lights, colors, entertainment, shopping, food, traffic, bars, concerts, and ..whatever else you can think of! Shibuya is also one of the 23 "wards" of central Tokyo so there is more than the famous station district but for the visitor with excitement in their eyes, the area a couple of kilometers or so around the station is a paradise!

        Many world wide trends in Asian fashion and culture start right here! Besides neon and big city lights, a visitor will see every kind of youth and all kinds of fashion. Business men and women abound as well as hundreds of thousands of people from everywhere. Shibuya ward is large and includes many other famous districts such as Harajuku, Ebisu, Daikanyama, Sendagaya, Hiroo, Omotesando, and Yoyogi. These are places with their own local culture within Shibuya ward and can be researched separately. There are neighborhoods, universities, corporations and cultural places. It is a city to itself!

        The famous district includes Center Gai pedestrian zone, and area that has to be walked on a busy weekend evening. The Hachiko statue: the most famous meeting place in Japan. Start here for your Shibuya district tours! Love Hotel Hill, containing....you guessed it! And also Dogen-Zaka, a street full of more of....everything. Shibuya is an ultimate Ward and an ultimate district. There are enough places of interest in Shibuya Ward to keep busy with it's many districts but the train station (huge, one of the busiest on earth) area is the city on fire! SHIBUYA IS NOT TO BE MISSED!

        • My favourite ever place in Tokyo. A quiet, serene area where I could really think about things in my life, in the heart of busy Tokyo. Absolutely beautiful shrine. Beautiful architecture and layout. Huge tori gates perfect for photos. A great selection of omamori (luck charms) to bring home to your family and yourself. Good walk to reflect and enjoy your life in nature as there are many forest trees surround with fresh air.
        • An oasis of quiet in the middle of Tokyo. Very nice wide walkways surrounded by forest. The shrine itself was under construction and not too accessible, but the natural beauty of the walks more than made up for it. Perfect place to spend some time walking and a great way to get out of the summer heat and into some shade.
        • A forest in the middle of Tokyo, the Temple is beautiful and spacious. Plenty of room to take your time and wander around. The walk there and back is gentle and set amidst the forest too. Definitely a highlight and must see in Tokyo.
        • Such a cool place. If you walk around some of the paths to the north, you can avoid the crowds, which makes the experience that much better. Already planning to go back ⛩
        • One of the largest shrines in Tokyo area I have seen, very well covered with lush green trees. Giant Tori gates are very welcoming. During new year the place is super crowded.
