Tokyo Tower
Standing 333 meters high, this self-supporting steel tower is the tallest in the world. On a clear day you can see from the observatory Ginza and Tokyo Bay, and if weather conditions are favorable you can even see Mount Fuji. At night, the illuminated tower is a must-see.
Imperial Palace
This used to be a castle that housed generations of Tokugawa shoguns, the administrators of the Tokugawa government in Edo, but with the Meiji Restoration it became the residence and palace of the Imperial Family. Surrounded by a moat and an abundant variety of trees, it is like a world apart situated right in the middle of Tokyo.
Senso-ji Temple and Nakamise Street
Nakamise Street is a shopping arcade running from Kaminarimon Gate to the Buddhist temple Senso-ji lined with around 90 shops. Its history goes back to the latter half of the 17th century, and its rows of shops selling uniquely Japanese souvenirs such as fans and kimonos as well as traditional foods such as rice crackers offer a truly grand spectacle.
