Skytree
Just as the Great Wall is to Beijing and the Statue of Liberty is to New York, the Skytree in Sumida has become an important landmark for TokyoThe Skytree, also translated as "Sky Tree," was originally an air-driven tower, but the view from the observation deck is even more attractive to visitors.

Business hours are subject to change depending on the actual situation, so it is recommended to check the official website in advance for the available admission time.
Tokyo Tower
The Skytree is a great place to climb and see from afar, and Tokyo Tower, another major landmark, is recommended from a distanceTokyo Tower's lighting design is one of the hallmarks of Tokyo Tower, and depending on the seasons, the lights on the tower change from white in summer to orange in winter.
There is also an observatory on Tokyo Tower, but if you want to see the overall architectural design and lighting, we recommend stepping back. The surrounding areas of Roppongi, Hamamatsucho, Shiba Park, and Higashi-Azabu are moderately close to each other, making it easy to take panoramic photos of Tokyo Tower.
Meiji Jingu
There are many temples and shrines in Japan, and if you want to learn more about Tokyo's traditional culture, Meiji Jingu is also an important stop. In addition to its historical significance, this famous shrine is also stunningly located in a vast forest in the heart of Tokyo!
Nearby is the bustling city of Harajuku, and passing through the torii gate of Minamisan Road, you can enter the lush green forest, which is a rare place to visit in Tokyo, where land is at a premium.
Meiji Jingu Shrine is also a popular place for local folk ceremonies, and if you are lucky, you can see a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony here, in addition to the ** ceremony, New Year's worship.
After going to Meiji Jingu, you can also stop by Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, which is a combination of Japanese and Western imperial gardens, and is also a delicate representative of Tokyo.
One of the pleasures of visiting Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is that you can enjoy three different types of gardens at the same time: the Japanese migratory landscape garden, the English landscape garden, and the French plastic garden. The garden is home to a wide variety of vegetation and is one of the best spots in Tokyo during the cherry blossom season and autumn foliage season.
Shibuya

In particular, the miraculous "Shibuya Crossing" is often on the cover of fashion magazines, and it is also a symbol of Shibuya, the stage of Japan's vitality and artistic trends.

Sensoji Temple
Despite being a cosmopolitan city, Tokyo is filled with many simple old streets, known as "Shitamachi" in Japanese, and is one of the most popular itineraries for tourists from all over the world because of its nostalgic Japanese atmosphere.
For example, the Asakusa area on the banks of the Sumida River is a popular place for people to enjoy the "Edo style", and Sensoji Temple is a must-see.
Approaching the temple, you can see the large red lantern hanging at the main entrance of the temple from a distance, with the word "Kaminarimon" written on it, which is the iconic main gate of Sensoji Temple, and there are two statues of "Wind God" and "Thunder God" on both sides.
The only way to pass through the Kaminarimon Gate is Nakami Sedori, which is now a famous shopping street with hundreds of Edo-style shops on both sides.
The main hall of Sensoji Temple is made up of the Treasure Gate, the Five-Storied Pagoda, and the Kannon Hall, and it is said that the 2,000 lots of people come to visit the temple, and the incense is vigorous, so it is said that the lot here is also quite effective, so it is one of the must-do things to come to Sensoji Temple to ask for a lot. If you invest 100 yen, you can draw a god lottery and get the corresponding lottery paper.
Tips: Don't worry about drawing a "fierce" lot, remember to tie the lottery paper to a pillar or pine tree next to it, which means to leave bad luck in the temple.
Kichijoji
