What to do and see in Ochanomizu / Akihabara / Kanda, Kanto: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

Every electronic gadget imaginable can be found in the stores of this hi-tech, neon-lit neighborhood. The Sony Plaza is one of the most popular shopping destinations in the district.

This part of Tokyo is nick named ‘Electric Town’ because after World War II it was a major shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black market. Today you can find anything electronic here from cell phones, gaming consuls, cameras, computers and peripherals, and anything anime. We visited a couple stores selling only old original computer consul games from 30 years ago! There are also several multi-floor arcade gaming sites. My favorite store behind the train station was Yodabashi Electronics which was the largest electronics store I’ve ever seen. Think of it as a ‘Best Buy’ store multiplied by 10 in size!

An important cathedral in the design of Dr. Josiah Condor. This time, I visited for coverage. The appearance of standing in this very quiet area seems to cleanse your heart. Even those who are not interested in architecture can feel the times when they come here.

Yushima was founded in 1355 but the main building was re-built in the 1880s. The stunning bronze gate is over 200 years old. In fact this shrine is as well known for its plum garden as it is for its association with the main shrine in Kyushu, which honors a Heian poet, Michizane Sugawara.
