Chidorigafuchi

Reviewed By olafoomes - Amstelveen, The Netherlands

On the moat alongside the north-western side of Kitanomaru park a lot of rowing activities take place especially during the Sakura season. But also on the bank there is a path which offers the most scenic Sakura spot you can probably see in Tokyo, with an about 700 meter long tunnel of cherry trees in the spring. In the evening it is fully lighted which provides for a rather special atmosphere. An absolute Sakura highlight.

Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum

Reviewed By SAVVYTRAVELER331

We happened upon this very special museum when we entered Marunouchi Brick Square and decided to view the current exhibition, which was "All About Mariano Fortuny." It did not disappoint! The historic red-brick building is a wonder in itself. Such a pleasure to walk through the rooms showcasing the exhibition. Easy to navigate, with the fashion and art beautifully displayed. There is also a lovely shop and a charming café. Also, right outside the museum, in Brick Square, are several restaurants and cafés. Definitely worth a visit!

Imperial Palace

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

The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace (Edo Castle Ruin)

These beautiful gardens are located outside of the Imperial Palace. Access to the gardens is open to the public although the palace itself is off limits.

From subway station T08 we entered the garden through the Hirakawa gate & exited at the Ote-Mon gate towards Tokyo station. Good afternoon stroll away from the hustle & bustle of the city.

Akihabara

Every electronic gadget imaginable can be found in the stores of this hi-tech, neon-lit neighborhood. The Sony Plaza is one of the most popular shopping destinations in the district.

Reviewed By DoctorDerm1 - Winter Springs, United States

This part of Tokyo is nick named ‘Electric Town’ because after World War II it was a major shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black market. Today you can find anything electronic here from cell phones, gaming consuls, cameras, computers and peripherals, and anything anime. We visited a couple stores selling only old original computer consul games from 30 years ago! There are also several multi-floor arcade gaming sites. My favorite store behind the train station was Yodabashi Electronics which was the largest electronics store I’ve ever seen. Think of it as a ‘Best Buy’ store multiplied by 10 in size!

Two-tiered Bridge (Ni-ju Bashi)

Reviewed By Bozeman-Dublin - Trim, Ireland

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

It was different to other temples and shrines (different colours), it´s beautiful and the torii gates path is also beautiful and great for pictures. Loved the monkey statues and it has an authentic sacred feeling to it.
