Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū) is a shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located just beside the JR Yamanote Line's busy Harajuku Station, Meiji Shrine and the adjacent Yoyogi Park make up a large forested area within the densely built-up city. The spacious shrine grounds offer walking paths that are great for a relaxing stroll. The shrine was completed and dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken in 1920, eight years after the passing of the emperor and six years after the passing of the empress. The shrine was destroyed during the Second World War but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.

Harajuku (原宿) refers to the area around Tokyo's Harajuku Station, which is between Shinjuku and Shibuya on the Yamanote Line. It is the center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles but also offers shopping for adults and some historic sights. The focal point of Harajuku's teenage culture is Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street) and its side streets, which are lined by many trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothes stores, crepe stands and fast food outlets geared towards the fashion and trend-conscious teens.

A 360° open-air observation deck located on the roof of the Shibuya Scramble Square skyscraper.

The only place where 7 crossroads come together and the lights all turn red at the same time. Thousands of pedestrians then all cross at the same time. Just amazing.

Built-in 1958, Tokyo Tower serves as a symbol of Tokyo’s rebirth after World War II. The towering structure stands 333 meters tall, becoming a ubiquitous photo spot for tourists. Two observation decks provide extensive views across the city and a four-story complex on the ground floor offers shopping, food, and entertainment. Unfortunately, when we visited, due to Covid, it was closed to visit the observation decks. Still, we were very impressed, especially with its lights at night. It is right next to Zozogi temple and easily accessible from Hamamatsucho or Daimon Stations or Onarimon or Akabenebashi Stations

This popular Tokyo neighborhood is home to many shops and restaurants as well as the famed Senso-ji Temple.

Sensoji (浅草寺, Sensōji, également connu sous le nom de temple Asakusa Kannon) est un temple bouddhiste situé à Asakusa. C'est l'un des temples les plus colorés et les plus populaires de Tokyo. La légende raconte qu'en 628, deux frères repêchèrent une statue de Kannon, la déesse de la miséricorde, dans la rivière Sumida. Même après l'avoir remise à l'eau, elle leur revenait toujours. C'est ainsi que Sensoji fut construit à proximité pour la déesse Kannon. Achevé en 645, le temple est le plus ancien de Tokyo.

The stores in this neighborhood sell kitchen equipment and paper supplies to the city's restaurants. Of note are the specialty plastic food items, which are placed in restaurant windows to show passersby what goodies are being served inside.
