More than 30 million people visit Sensoji Temple every year from both Japan and abroad. Built in 628, it is the oldest temple in Tokyo. The most representative gate of Asakusa is the Kaminarimon Gate. In Asakusa, it is common to ride a rickshaw around the famous places, so you can see rickshaws all over the town. At Nakamise-dori, the approach to the main road, you can buy souvenirs filled with Japanese culture, such as Japanese sweets and tea.
Tokyo Skytree opened on May 22, 2012 and is the tallest tower in Japan, standing 634 meters tall. The name comes from the idea that a city that is friendly to both people and the environment will be born under a tower that resembles a large tree reaching into the sky. The exterior was created with traditional Japanese architectural design in mind, and uses the traditional Japanese color indigo (a white with a slight bluish tint).
Fukagawa Fudodo is a temple that has survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II. The former main hall is the oldest wooden building in Tokyo and is a designated registered cultural property of Koto Ward. Prayers are held in the new main hall five times a day, every two hours from 9:00 to 17:00, and anyone is welcome to attend.
Tsukiji is a historic district in central Tokyo, best known for its vibrant market culture and culinary heritage. While the inner wholesale market moved to Toyosu in 2018, the outer market remains a bustling hub of activity, filled with small shops, street food stalls, and traditional restaurants. Visitors can sample fresh sushi, grilled seafood, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), and other local specialties as they explore the narrow alleyways. The area also offers a glimpse into Tokyo’s food culture and the daily lives of local vendors. With its lively atmosphere and authentic charm, Tsukiji is a must-visit for food lovers and cultural explorers alike.
The Imperial Palace is the official residence of the Emperor and serves as the stage for national ceremonies. In 1868, Emperor Meiji traveled from Kyoto to Tokyo, and successive emperors have lived in the Imperial Palace ever since. The gardens and buildings surrounding the Imperial Palace reflect the beauty of Japanese tradition and nature, attracting many visitors throughout the year.
Meiji Shrine is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Located in the heart of Tokyo, this shrine is surrounded by lush nature and is known as one of the largest shrines in Japan. The 12-meter-tall torii gate is the largest in Japan and is an important landmark that leaves a special impression on visitors. Meiji Shrine is also known as the shrine for matchmaking, and many visitors come to pray for success in love and good relationships.
Harajuku is the epicenter of kawaii culture, and Takeshita Street is the place where you can feel it most strongly. There are plenty of pop and colorful Kawaii shops selling trendy sweets, fashion, cosmetics, and more that are perfect for Instagram. Even if you don't find anything you want, the charm of the street is that it's fun just to look around.
Shibuya Scramble Crossing is often said to be the busiest crosswalk in the world, with over 2,000 people crossing at once. This intersection is also famous as the filming location for the car chase in Fast & Furious X3. There are many cafes in the area that offer views of the scramble crossing. Hachiko statue is a well-known landmark that is one of the most popular meeting places in Shibuya. Hachiko was a dog that waited for his owner at Shibuya Station every day even after his owner’s death. Hachiko Statue is located in front of Hachiko Exit at Shibuya station.
At 333 meters tall, it is the second tallest building in Japan after Tokyo Skytree. This iconic red-and-white structure is inspired by the Eiffel Tower and has been a beloved landmark since its completion in 1958. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from the Main Deck and the higher Top Deck, especially during sunset or at night when the city lights sparkle. The tower also features FootTown, a multi-story building at its base with shops, restaurants, and museums. Blending retro charm with modern appeal, Tokyo Tower remains one of the city’s most recognizable and nostalgic attractions.
Odaiba is an artificial island built in Tokyo Bay, and is a seaside subcenter with various facilities.Rainbow Bridge was opened in 1993 and is a bridge connecting Shibaura, Minato-ku and Daiba district. You can take a leisurely walk, rest or play while gazing at the sea and the Rainbow Bridge. A replica of the Statue of Liberty stands at Odaiba Seaside Park.

The tour guide Ali was awesome. He is an asset to your company. I would recommend him and the tour to anyone. He was very kind and considerate. He showed us most of the highlights in the Tokyo area and explained each one to us. Asked what our preference was at the the end of the day that he didn’t show us. He was a real pleasure to have as a guide.
