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!

Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum

Reviewed By SAVVYTRAVELER331

We happened upon this very special museum when we entered Marunouchi Brick Square and decided to view the current exhibition, which was "All About Mariano Fortuny." It did not disappoint! The historic red-brick building is a wonder in itself. Such a pleasure to walk through the rooms showcasing the exhibition. Easy to navigate, with the fashion and art beautifully displayed. There is also a lovely shop and a charming café. Also, right outside the museum, in Brick Square, are several restaurants and cafés. Definitely worth a visit!

Imperial Palace

The current palace was constructed in the same spot where Edo Castle used to stand. Most of the palace grounds are not open to the public except for the East Gardens, which are accessible on select days.

I went to Tokyo again this year and had a check list of things I didn’t do on my previous trips. The imperial palace was on it and after a trip to the tsukiji market I took a nice walk to the palace. It’s really very beautiful and all the nice old buildings are a must see. Sadly some party were under construction and since it was summer it was super hot. Luckily they have a small museum and souvenir shop with ac

Tokyo Central Railway Station

Reviewed By Hasnah1962 - Singapore, Singapore

We took the Shinkansen bullet train from Nagano and disembarked at this station. Opened in 1914, the station has been recently renovated to a beautiful grand colonial building in striking red brick. It is connected to many shopping malls via underground passages.

Hikawa Shrine

Reviewed By ellenbR4096MW - Hortonville, United States

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.
