• Asakusa

  Asakusa is the heart of Shitamachi, the quarter best-beloved of that fractious, gossipy, prodigal population called the Edokko, who trace their “Downtown” roots back at least three generations.

  Asakusa (浅草) is a town in the Taito Ward of Tokyo. It was the only down town area long before World War II, before Shinjuku and Shibuya became such important centers of business and commerce. Taito Ward is a part of the old "Shitamachi" or low town. This was the area of merchants and artisans who not only were lower in social standing, but the area was lower physically towards the shores and banks of the Sumida river and the surrounding areas. Asakusa's landmark, Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Kannon Temple) is the center of the area and a hugely popular destination for both Japanese and foreign tourists.
  
  The Asakusa area is dotted with old cafes, bookstores, theaters, and shopping districts... walking around Asakusa gives you some idea about what Tokyo used to be like before the skyscrapers and neon of Shinjuku and other areas took over the city.

• National Museum of Western Art

  You should not neglect the National Museum of Western Art. This is located on the east side of Ueno park; and outstanding collection of French Impressionist paintings, print and drawings, the gift of a wealthy businessman named Kojiro Matsukata.
  
  The building itself was designed by Le Corbusier; the Rodin sculptures in the courtyard- the Gate of Hell, the Thinker, and the magnificent Burghers of Calais-are authentic castings from the original molds.

• Ueno

  North of the city center, Ueno was chosen in 1628 by the Tokugawa Shugun Hidetaka as the site of a vast temple complex. Called Kan’eiji, it was established on the area’s one prominent hill to protect the capital from evil spirits. Kan’eiji was a seat of great power until 1868 when it became the battleground in the shogunate’s last stand against the imperial army and most of the buildings were destroyed.
  
  Subsequently, Ueno was turned into Tokyo’s first public park, endowed with all the preferred Western improvements: museums, concert halls, a library, a university of fine arts and a zoo. Undo Should be a stop on any visitor’s itinerary – especially if you happen to be here in mid- April, when the cherry blossoms in the park are glorious.

• Imperial Palace

  If Tokyo can be said to have any center at all, this is it. Today’s Imperial Palace is on the site of Edo castle, where the Tokugawa shogunate ruled Japan for 265 years; it was thereafter home to the emperors of the modern era.
  
  The palace was almost totally destroyed in the air raids of World War II, then rebuilt in ferroconcrete. This is the least interesting part of what was once the largest system of fortifications in the world, and in any case you can’t get in to see it.
  
  What you can see are the lovely grounds of the East Garden, the moat and massive stone ramparts, and those few examples of classic Japanese architecture – gates bridges armories, and watchtowers – that have survived since the 17th century.
