1. Rikugien Garden

A large, traditional Japanese landscape garden with lots of paths for walking & viewing the garden from different angles. A large pond in the middle is dotted with islands, while paths wind around the island, up and down hills, through trees, over bridges - all creating the illusion of the garden being far bigger than it is. I visited in the mid-afternoon on a sunny day when the large weeping cherry tree was in bloom - it was gorgeous! The garden was surprisingly not very busy. I imagine that if you came early in the morning it would be really quiet.

This is one of Tokyo's many gardens, and rated as one of the best. Indeed it deserves the accolade. Though small and compact, the gardens has enough foliage to mesmerise, especially during the fall when the leaves are in varying stages of turning their colours. To any photographers out there, this is a paradise for you. The entrance fee of 300 yen is well worth the images you bring out.

Chinzanso was quite nice, though past peak when we visited in early December. It is quite wonderful that the hotel opens up such a lovely place for free for visitors who are not guests of the hotel. We dressed up for our visit, since the hotel has such a posh clientele. (We were dismayed by, and a bit embarrassed for, the really sloppily dressed and loud folks who arrived with a tour group no less!) The garden is a wedding venue. We saw at least 3 weddings and a few wedding photo shoots - a stunningly dressed bride placed perfectly with the pond or red trees as a background. We had to be careful as we walked around the pond taking care that we didn’t end up in one of the wedding photos. The weddings themselves produced among other things distant photo ops of family groups, brides having rose petals thrown at them, and women dressed in elegant kimonos In addition to the pond, there are lots of things to see - momiji, of course, an ancient and sacred tree, stone lanterns and statues, a pagoda and more. Each path brings different landscape views in this lovely stroll garden. There were even signs in Japanese and English describing some of the statues, buildings and trees Definitely worth a visit.
4. The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Any person interested in baseball, especially Japanese baseball, cannot miss this. As mentioned in prior reviews it is relatively small, but a baseball fan could easily spend a couple hours viewing the exhibits. If you speak English, be sure to ask for the English information packet at the front desk. Between the limited English signage, the information packet, and Google Translate, you should be able to identify any object you are curious about. It is located in the Tokyo Dome, so a perfect pre-game activity for anyone catching a baseball game at the Dome (although it may be more crowded at that time).
5. Tokyo Dome City

A fun way to spend the day in Tokyo for both adults and children. Full of great shops and eateries as well as rollercoaster rides and live entertainment shows for children.

Easily accessible by train. This complex is a great activity for older kids and teenagers. Wouldn't recommend if raining as the rides and surrounds are outdoors and there is some walking around required. No crowds during the week. We purchased the All Day pass for the kids as it was very reasonably priced and they had access to all the rides. Very safe area for families. Good range of food outlets.

I went very early in the morning and it was wonderful. Only about 3 people were there at the time and it was a great experience. From the Tori lined paths to the koi pond, it was everything that you would expect from a well-known temple like this.

Great venue for the quilt show. Easy to get to from the Tokyo Dome Hotel, very near a metro station. Lots of seating and food choices around the stands. Security was very good and quick at the entry to the venue. ATM on-site could dispense cash to international visitors.
