— Itinerary Introduction —

  • Tokyo Tower

Tokyo Tower is to Tokyo what the Oriental Pearl Tower is to Shanghai, a striking landmark that dominates the city. Its elegant and towering form bears a striking resemblance to the Eiffel Tower, even surpassing it by a hair. Its red and white hue frequently appears in films, television series, and literature about Tokyo, and both foreign and Japanese tourists alike cherish it as a reminder of their Tokyo journey. Climb to the observation deck for a 360-degree panoramic view of Tokyo, even taking in Mount Fuji in the distance!

  • Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace Outer Gardens, commonly known as the Imperial Palace Square, lies between the high-rise buildings of Marunouchi and the Imperial Palace. It encompasses a vast area encompassing the Triumphal Moat, the Hibiya Moat, the Baba-no-Hiro Moat, the Ote Moat, and the Huangchi Pond in front of Nijubashi Bridge. Paved with fine cobblestones and planted with pine trees, the expansive grounds are lush with verdant pines and cypresses, creating one of the few remaining green spaces in Japanese cities.

  • Sensoji Temple, Nakamise Shopping Street

The bustling Nakamise-dori shopping street, the approach from Kaminarimon to Senso-ji Temple, is one of the most quintessentially Japanese shopping streets. Over a hundred traditional Japanese souvenir shops sell a wide variety of local specialties and souvenirs. The distinctive large lantern at Kaminarimon is also worth a photo opportunity.
