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.

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.

We have visited this place on the 29.12 so we were not able to enter the famous training hall. However, the building itself was opened so we could enjoy the energy of this sacred judo spot! Ps: very easy and fast to reach by Tokyo metro lines!

A large, torii gate stands at the entrance to this shrine built in memory of those who lost their lives defending Japan. Many officials still come and offer prayer annually on August 15, the anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War II.
Large tree lined paths leading to huge gates and into the shrine. We saw many people honouoring their dead ancestors. Some of the inturred are convicted war criminals, executed by the victors. Also many martyrs (eg kamikaze) giving their life for their country/emperor. A good place to visit - included the war museum (with cafe), beautiful gardens, interesting external statues. Despite the controversy of who is interred here an interesting place to visit.

We were fortunate enough to find an airbnb apartment in this neighborhood and we enjoyed it so much. This is reminiscent of St Germain in Paris (Japanese style of course) with all the small alleyway, full of restaurants on every level of the buildings. So many choices. We spent 10 glorious days and did not feel like going anywhere else as there is so much to discover. This neighborhood has French influence with many restaurants, we tried a couple but the Japanese food is so good that we could not have enough time for all. Walking day and nights in the small alleyways we never felt threatened as we found Japanese people so welcoming, kind, polite and patient with us as we do not speak the language. We learned to say the minimum and to bow, this was enough to show our appreciation for their kindness. Where in the world do you have the owner, the waiter and the cook following you in the street and bowing good bye and thank you? We were deeply impressed by their courtesy and this was not unique, this is the norm here. We will come back to this airbnb and neighborhood again.

Restaurants, Western style lounge and a beautiful Japanese garden await you, allowing a relax time in the middle of busy Tokyo. Easy access from buses to trains, you might encounter a few shinto weddings. Meiji Kinenkan also proposes you meeting rooms and the Summer-only Sekirei Beer Terrace.
