My wife and I were told we should watch a Japanese Show called Midnight Tokyo Diner before we left Canada. We loved the series so we wondered whether could find the location. We were most fortunate to drop by the tourist information Centre at the Shibuya Station. It was the great detective work of Kana and Chihiro that gave us the location of this small restaurant ( room for 6-7 people) In the Golden Gai area. We were given lots of great ideas around the Shibuya and Shinjuku area. Thank you to our new friends in Tokyo. If you want some great information from very friendly and informative people don’t hesitate to drop by. You will be very glad you did!

My favourite place in Tojyo, simple as that. When combined with its gardens this wonderful, beguiling shrine will keep you captivated for hours as it did me. The main shrine is stunning with is huge torii and beautiful colours I loved the row of burgundy wine barrels and sake barrels opposite, gifts for the consecration of the shrine.. There is a beautiful prayer wall too on the right as you look at the main shrine. They ive you a nice little guide going in and you starmp it yourself with a lovely old ink stamper. The pair of sacred Camphor trees in the forecourt are gorgeous. One was planted in memory of the Emperor who died in 1912, the other for the Empress who passed in 1920. They are two trees tended to look like one, a beautiful sentiment. Now, one main bit of advice. Don't limit yourself just to the main shrine. Wander around the grounds as there are some simply gorgeous smaller ones dotted about. Anyway, a wonderful, spiritual place, very moving and captivating. An absolute must do.

Overall Ratings

Tokyo Camii, also known as Tokyo Mosque, is a mosque with an adjoining Turkish culture center located in the Ōyama-chō district of Shibuya ward in Tokyo, Japan. It is the largest mosque in Japan. The mosque was originally built along with an adjoining school on May 12, 1938 by Bashkir and Tatar immigrants from Russia who had come to Japan after the October Revolution. It was made under the direction of Abdürreşid İbrahim, the first Imam of the mosque, and Abdülhay Kurban Ali. In 1986, the mosque had to be demolished because of severe structural damage. Under the direction and support of Diyanet İşleri Başkanliği a new building was begun in 1998. The architect for the building was Muharrem Hilmi Senalp. The ornamentation was based on Ottoman religious architecture. Around 70 Turkish craftsmen performed the finishing details, and a considerable quantity of marble was imported from Turkey. The construction was completed in 2000. Tokyo Camii is 734 square meters in area. Its main dome is 23 meters tall and is supported by six pillars, while the adjacent minaret is 41 tall.

Hachiko is a legend in Tokyo, so much so that copy statues of this faithful are common (such as in Don Quixote). But this is the real deal, and a great photo opportunity. The statue is easily located outside Shibuya station, and definitely worth visiting and knowing the story so you can understand the obsession with all the Hachiko souvenirs!
