We used to live close by and visited regularly. The museum is quite beautiful. It changes Exhibitions regularly. The attached Japanese garden is almost as much of a draw as the museum itself.

The staff are very friendly and speak English. They are also very helpful with whatever questions you may have about travelling in Tokyo. We booked the hedgehog & owl cafe package through them and it's actually cheaper to book it through here than you paying at the cafes.

We went before noon on a weekday so there was no line and no crowd. Typical super tall building with a 360 degree view. Pretty view. Always a crowd pleaser and this was no exception. Worth the price of entry and a good way to kill about an hour touring the city. Easy access from the metro.

The park is a great place to view the cherry blossoms if you're traveling when they are in full bloom. Large open spaces where children can run, picnics allowed on the grounds.

While a way an hour or so in the traditional garden, awestruck at the bonsai on display-- some are over 500 years old-- and winding paths. Then Treat yourself to a traditional tea ceremony. The tea ceremony was not quite what I expected, as the green tea was thick and grassy, but the ceremony itself was interesting.

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.

If you liked the "Golden Cabbage" of the Secession Museum in Vienna, you will be delighted with the former home of Prince Asaka, now the Teien Art Museum. A perfectly preserved Art Deco palace, the difference in Japanese and Western Art Deco is amazing. Sometimes Art Deco can be over the top in decorative elements. Here, the zen of Japanese taste tames the tendency and brings out the sheer beauty of the organic nature of Art Deco. The building is a gem, clean in line but with touches of Art Deco to delight the eye. Furnishings and exhibits match the exterior. Some amazing ideas are executed with lavish materials and beautiful craftsmanship.

Two, large gates frame the entrance to this Shinto shrine that was dedicated to Emperor and Empress Meiji. Completed in 1920, repairs were required after the shrine was damaged during World War II.

We enjoyed this beautiful shrine and Gardens. It was raining while we were her but offered a serene stroll with nature at its finest. The big Torii gate at each entrance is beautiful with an understated elegance and everything beyond the gate is beautiful and serene. Great place to find some peace after a long shopping spree.

Operated by the Tokyu Railway company.
The line connects Sangen-Jaya to Shimo-Takaido, in Setagaya, Tokyo. It is served by 2 compartment electric car sets. It is also referred to as a tramway.
It is the lifeline of the local community and the ride along the line provides a nostalgic feeling.
