However the main Tsukiji Market was replaced in 2018 by the Toyosu Market, the outer market at Tsukiji remains. There are still various restaurants and shops containing numerous interesting items. (Some shops and restaurants are closed on Sundays,Wednesdays, and national holidays)
The garden has served many purposes over the centuries. It was originally built as a feudal lord's Tokyo residence and duck hunting grounds between the 17th and 19th centuries. And then it became a garden and an imperial detached palace before eventually being opened to the public in its current form. It is located close to Tsukiji outer market. You can enjoy seasonal flowers and green spaces with seawater ponds.
Ginza has eclectic boutiques and galleries, the shops selling Japanese traditional crafts, and incredible selection of restaurants and cutting edge architecture.
The Imperial Palace used to be the Castle of Tokugawa shogun family from 1603 to 1868. It became The Imperial Palace when the political power returned to the Emperor Meiji. The Imperial Palace grounds have many of the perfectly manicured pine trees and lawns which can be enjoyed from a car. You can also take a short stroll to see the palace walls and bridges.
The National Diet (Parliament) building is one of only a few buildings in Tokyo that survived the air raids of 1945. The building was built in 1936.
You can enjoy gaming and anime culture in Akihabara. There are also hundreds of electronics shops, ranging from tiny stalls specializing in a particular electronic component to large electronics retailers.
Senso-ji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. The name Asakusa appeared for the first time in the history of Japan in 628, when a small statue of the Kannon was caught by two fishermen in Asakusa. The people in the village built a small temple for the statue not knowing anything about its origin. The statue has been kept hidden in a sealed wooden box since 645, when a Buddhist monk who had been invited from Nara to see the statue suggested doing so. The box was opened once in 1868 by officers sent by the government to execute orders regarding the separation of Shinto and Buddhism. The temple received constant support from powerful samurai and it became a family temple of the Tokugawa shogun in the early 17th century. Most of the temple buildings were lost during the Second World War. The main building was reconstructed in 1958, and the five-story pagoda in 1973.
There are various buildings designed by the world’s leading architechts in Omotesando. You can also find every famous brand neme in fashion.
Harajuku will give you some insight into the youth culture of Japan. You will see unique fashion trends and outrageous design in fashion and buildings.
Meiji shrine has a pleasant atmosphere and nice break from the busy streets. You might be able to see a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony on Saturdays and Sundays.
Shibuya crossing is the busiest intersection in the world. It makes Times Square seem like a sleepy village.
Daikanyama and Nakameguro are filled with numerous boutiques and cafes. They have a different atmosphere and less hectic pace than more famous places in the city.

It was a great way to see the city. Our guide had answers to every question we asked, and we saw many more sites than would have been possible in such a short time on our own. Babu was an excellent driver as well, which had us feeling safe the whole time.

Individual tour of Tokyo. Miho had already made nice contact with us in advance. She fulfilled all our wishes and brought us closer to Tokyo. Miho put a lot of effort into it and prepared well for the tour.
Dear Elke_K Vielen Dank für deine Bewertung😊 Es war sehr sonnig und heiß, aber ich habe mich sehr gefreut, so viele Orte mit euch allen besuchen zu können. Das Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building ist mit seiner nächtlichen Projektionsmapping-Technik besonders schön. Ich würde sehr gerne wieder mit dir dorthin fahren, falls ich die Gelegenheit habe, noch einmal nach Japan zu reisen! Ich fahre übrigens auch nach Deutschland!
Our tour was in Tokyo with OUTECH. Our tour guide , Ms. Miyako Hirano was outstanding. We had so many good experiences in a very short time and she was a brilliant tour director, a lovely person with inexhaustible energy and offered us a memorable experience. Please ask for her in the future if you ever want something outstanding 09047011290.
