1. National Diet Building
 |
The imposing Japanese Capitol (the House of Parliament) dominated by a massive central tower.
|
2. Meiji Shrine
| The finest example of Japanese shrine architecture, nestled in a peaceful,
picturesque area. The Meiji Shrine is a relatively new shrine, which is located in a large park in the middle
of Tokyo city. It was built for the emperor Meiji after his |
 |
death and completed in the year 1920. The shrine was destroyed during World war II, but
it was rebuilt afterwards.
3. Imperial Palace
 |
You won't see much of the actual palace. It's closed to the public (except on New Year's Day
and the Emperor's Birthday on Dec 23), but parts of the exterior can be viewed from the Nijubashi Bridge; the wide moat
stocked with koi and lined with cherry trees are perfect for an afternoon |
stroll; the Higashi Koen (East Garden) marks the site of old Edo Castle and has wide paths for walking.
|
|
4. Tokyo Tower
 |
Enjoy a panorama of Tokyo from the observation platform of Asia's tallest tower. At 333 meters,
Tokyo Tower is the tallest edifice in all of Japan. Despite being 33 meters more than the Eiffel Tower, it is almost half
the weight (4,000
|
tons vs 7,000 tons), due to advances in steel and construction technology.
5.Imperial East Garden
Enjoy a pleasant walk through the East Garden of the Imperial Palace of a historical interest and scenic beauty. The perfect
choice after a visit to the Imperial Palace; the large gardens were formerly part of Edo Castle. The paths wind their way past
formal shrubbery and wild patches. The pond is both serene and a little wild -- the plantings are old and more natural than
those found in formal Japanese gardens.
6.Ginza
| Ginza is the most prestigious and fashionable shopping / dining town in Tokyo, Japan. A shopping
street in Ginza (Tokyo), on a sunday afternoon, while the car are not allowed it is called as pedestrian street. |
