Tokyo Tours

As the capital of Japan, Tokyo is known as one of the main cities with various attractions and sites. It is a center of pop culture with many types of entertainment for all kinds of visitors. The Tokyo Tower, the Asakusa Sensoji Temple are only some of the most visited landmarks of Japan and are usually symbolic of Tokyo as a result of their popularity.

Tokyo is not only the capital of Japan, but it is also a center for attractions including souvenir shops, cafés, restaurants, and observation decks, among other various sites and locations. One of the many memorable attractions of Tokyo includes the Tokyo Tower, which was the tallest steel-supported structure in Japan until 2010. Even so, it still remains one of the most iconic Japanese landmarks in Tokyo and in many films. The Imperial Palace is among one of the many popular sites to visit as well. It was reconstructed after being wrecked during WWII. The palace's moat bridges are called Meganebashi (literally, “Eyeglass Bridge”) because it looks like a pair of spectacles reflect off the moat’s water. The Asakusa Temple is also one of the most frequented Buddhist temples in Tokyo. It is a temple with a grand red lantern at the gate, which is called the "Kaminarimon" (the Thunder Gate) since it was built with statues of the wind god and the thunder god. Past the gates are various visitors who go through the abundant shops for snacks, souvenirs, and food. An example of the popular shops that are available are those that have traditional Japanese snacks prepacked or made fresh right before the eyes of the audience. Other shops will also sell soft serve ice cream with interesting flavors like wasabi, green tea, yam, melon, cherry blossom, and sesame seed among many others. The area is full of souvenirs that have a variety of goods, increasing the interest of most who pass by their stores. The temple itself has various charms, or "omamori" that are used for protection, luck in studying, passing, driving safely, travels, etc. Other sites in Tokyo include the Edo Museum, which has scale models of indoor buildings, ships, bridges, and other historical structures and figures, making it one of the more interesting museums. The museum also features scheduled shows, some of which includes entertainment that Edo citizens and travelers would see in towns.

Odaiba is one of the popular artificial islands of Japan. It is full of shopping stores, malls, entertainment centers, and great sceneries. Among one of favorite picture spots or sites to visit is the Fuji TV building, a broadcasting station famous for their drama and animation programs. The miniature Statue of Liberty is also a famous spot overlooking the Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo Bay, making it a rather favored location for most visitors who want a good view. The Rainbow Bridge is also a popular attraction at night when its many lights turn bright with the colors of the rainbow. It can be seen on shore or even from some of the restaurants in the area.
