Things to do in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Architectural Buildings
Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

I think everyone who is interested in diplomacy should check this place out. They recently opened it to pubic tours and I went with a friend who used to work nearby. You'll learn a lot about how State visits to Japan happen!

We attended our daughter's Shinto wedding ceremony at this beautiful shrine last week. It is an oasis in the middle of a crazy busy city. I listened carefully, no sound of the city penetrated the peaceful gardens. The Shinto priests were so incredibly kind and helpful during the ceremony. The shrine staff helped all of us guests throughout the event. Our daughter and son-in-law had helpers for every stage. Two women helped our daughter with her makeup, hair, and getting into the beautiful kimono. I definitely recommend it if you would like a peaceful, serene interlude during your time in Tokyo.
