Things to do in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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 current palace was constructed in the same spot where Edo Castle used to stand. Most of the palace grounds are not open to the public except for the East Gardens, which are accessible on select days.

I went to Tokyo again this year and had a check list of things I didn’t do on my previous trips. The imperial palace was on it and after a trip to the tsukiji market I took a nice walk to the palace. It’s really very beautiful and all the nice old buildings are a must see. Sadly some party were under construction and since it was summer it was super hot. Luckily they have a small museum and souvenir shop with ac

Stunning double bridges, one of intricate stone, one of lovely ironworks that mark the entrance to the Imperial Palace. It is possible to enter only on January 2nd and on the Emperors birthday, every other day a photo of the bridges from the other side of the inner moat is all you can do. But it's worth it, the views are gorgeous, as are the bridges themselves. Definitely the highlight of any visit to the Imperial Palace Park and grounds

We took the Shinkansen bullet train from Nagano and disembarked at this station. Opened in 1914, the station has been recently renovated to a beautiful grand colonial building in striking red brick. It is connected to many shopping malls via underground passages.

The fish markets are huge, I spent about 3 hours walking around the area. Try sampling some of the fresh seafood, I had the best sea urchin (umi) that I had ever had (so creamy), the largest fish eggs which pop in the mouth and delicious oysters with a favor that I can describe.

Samurai General Masakado Taira was decapitated at BC 930 in Kyoto. After three days of his decapitation his head flied back to Tokyo. Nearby that location Edo castle was built up about 660 years later from his decapitation by General Tokugawa. At BC 1868 Edo castle was owned by Emperor. The memorial of Masakado Taira was watching Government keeping long term as Guardian. His aim was to own Japan. In long long years he was named the symbol of Devil, but he was actually Guardian of Tokyo. He has two faces of Guardian and Devil. When you visit his memorial monument, you will feel his strong spirit. However, many peoples don't know this place. This place is very small, but this place is cleaned up always by Tokyo Metro city hall. The person with rude behavior to this memorial monument was always met unhappiness.

You can taste hand-made senbei, try hojicha (green roasted tea) icecram, and amazake, which is a non-alcohol drink so nutrious that it is called 'drinking IV.' They also have a traditional Japanese toy store and kimono stores, nice for window shopping. It is a good street having a lot of traditional things. I buy my hojicha there. It is very fragrant and tasty.
