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.

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
