The 10 Best Sacred & Religious Sites in Odaiba / Shiodome / Shinbashi, Kanto
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.

looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms here again this spring. it's a great temple to have in your neighborhood and worth a visit if you are outside the neighborhood because of the iconic views with Tokyo tower right behind it. don't miss all the lovely vantage points around the area too... there are even some nice plum blossoms down the street too in the early spring!

there is a cute little puppy up at the top sometimes... there are a lot of stairs here that have a legend behind them. I've seen the shrine at all four seasons, and it is always beautiful. don't miss the cheese shop nearby and the nhk museum which is free.

Hands down the number one pick. A storied Soto Zen Buddhist temple surrounded by lush public gardens set amidst the towers of modern Tokyo makes this an easily accessible location for zazen meditation in the temple or a private urban session on your own in the gardens.
