9 Historic Sites in Shibuya / Harajuku / Ebisu That You Shouldn't Miss

March 28, 2022 Timmy Ribble

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

The main building of Homotsuden (the Treasure Museum) is a ferro-concrete building built in 1921. Its style, however, is a copy of the Oyukazukuri (high floor style) of Azekurazukuri Shosoin (the Japanese National Treasure House in Nara).
