Top 5 Tokyo Attractions
Top 5 Tokyo Attractions
City: Tokyo
State: Kanto
Country: Japan
A sprawling metropolis in the Kanto region of Japan, Tokyo is one of the most populous urban areas in the world, and boasts a multitude of tourist attractions. With towering skyscrapers next to serene temples, neon-lit streets next to vast museums, Tokyo is known for its dynamic energy, efficient public transport, and world-class culinary scene.
Here are the Top 5 Tourist Attractions to visit in Tokyo, all of which hold important cultural or historical significance. All these are permanent locations which can be visited and viewed at any time throughout the year.
1. Tokyo Skytree
The tallest tower in Japan, the Tokyo Skytree serves as a vital broadcasting hub for the Kanto region, ensuring stable digital television and radio transmission. At 634 metres, the Tokyo Skytree is not only a symbol of innovation and design, with architecture that blends neo-futuristic elements with traditional Japanese samurai aesthetics, but it offers breathtaking panoramic views from its 2 observation decks.
2. Imperial Palace East National Gardens
Located on the grounds of the former Edo castle, the Imperial Palace East National Gardens in Tokyo, Kanto region, Japan, was part of the residence of the Tokugawa shogunate from 1603 to 1867. These beautiful Japanese gardens include remnants of the castle's defensive structures, such as moats, walls, and entrance gates, surrounded by lawns, trees, and flowers that bloom throughout the year. The Imperial Palace East National Gardens is most often visited during the sakura / cherry blossom season in late March to early April, for the hanami / flower viewing celebration.
3. Meiji Shrine
The Meiji Shrine, also known as Meiji Jingu, is a Shinto shrine in the Kanto region, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, who played pivotal roles in the modernization of Japan. Established in 1920, the Meiji Shrine is surrounded by a lush man-made forest of over 100,000 trees, creating a tranquil oasis in the bustling city of Tokyo, allowing visitors to engage in Shinto practices, such as making offerings, visiting the museum, admiring the beautifully stacked barrels of sake and wine, writing wishes on ema / wooden plaques, and purchasing omamori / charms for luck or protection.
4. Tokyo National Museum
The Tokyo National Museum is the oldest and largest museum in the Kanto region and in Japan, established in 1872. Housing over 100,000 artifacts, including nearly 90 National Treasures, the collection in the Tokyo National Museum spans centuries. Some of the more notable displays include Japanese art such as ukiyo-e woodblock prints, samurai armour and swords, traditional ceramics and lacquerware, and treasures from the Japanese Imperial Court.
5. teamLab Planets
Created by the renowned art collective teamLab in 2018, the teamLab Planets museum is globally recognized for its immersive digital art experiences. Celebrated for its immersive combination of art, technology, and nature, teamLab Planets offers visitors a unique way to engage with art through their senses and movements. Key exhibits include 'Floating in the Falling Universe of Flowers' where digital flowers bloom, wither, and regenerate, symbolizing the cycle of life; and 'The Infinite Crystal Universe' where thousands of lights create a dynamic star-filled environment that responds to visitors' movements.
