Your adventure begins at Meiji Jingu Shrine, a serene sanctuary nestled in a lush forest in the heart of the city. This shrine is a true Tokyo landmark, and offers a tranquil escape. Meiji Jingu is one of the Shinto shrines in Japan, with the vast land of the forest (70 ha.), located in the middle of the megacity, Tokyo
Next we visit the Imperial Palace, where you'll marvel at the ancient walls and picturesque guard towers that make this site a must-see.
We'll then head to Asakusa, home to Tokyo's oldest temple, Senso-ji. Stroll through the traditional Nakamise Shopping Arcade, where you can sample local snacks and pick up unique souvenirs.
