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.

In the South-East corner (inside the perimeter formed by the moat) of the grounds of the Imperial Palace, stabnds this fabulous and huge Statue to the 14th Century Legendary Samurai Warrior. Its a MUST, especially of you have kids with you. Loved it

We ran into these two lions in front of Mitsukoshi Department Store in Nihonbashi when we visited the flagship store. These are modeled after lions at Trafalger square. They're beautifully detailed, and everyone who passes by comes and pats their paws. We watched gaggles of schoolkids pass by giving little roars as they saw the lions. Very cute.

We were walking from the Tsukiji Market to Tokyo Station when we came upon the Chirori Memorial. It was a sweet and touching memorial. Nice for a quick stop.
