Senso-ji Temple, Asakusa, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Sensō-ji is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. The colourful and popular temple features the Kaminarimon Gate (Thunder Gate) at the entrance. From this gate, locals and tourists walk along Nakamise-Dori, a historic street lined with souvenir shops until they reach the second gate, the Hozomon. Outside the main hall and pagoda of Tokyo’s oldest temple, there is a fountain for washing hands, small stalls selling charms and rows of drawers for visitors to read their fortune for the day. The temple grounds offer ample photo opportunities around the trading hours of Nakamise-Dori when there are no crowds. If you decide to visit early in the morning, be wary of the shadows cast on some of the temple buildings from the surrounding skyscrapers. The main hall is open daily from 6am – 5pm, the temple grounds are always open and entrance is free.
30 minutes
Hie Jinjya, Chiyoda, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
If you cannot make it to Kyoto to visit the famous Fushimi Inari-taisha Torii gates, don’t despair. There’s a tunnel of 90 red torii gates in the middle of Tokyo. If you didn’t know about the shrines in the city, then you are likely to miss this spot altogether and one of the secret photography spots in Tokyo. Hie Shrine is a major shrine in Tokyo and is also the starting point of Sannō Matsuri, one of the three great Japanese festivals from the Edo period. Positioned on a tree covered hilltop, Hie Shrine is a serene place where locals come to worship.
30 minutes
Shibuya Crossing, Shibuya, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Did you really visit Tokyo if you didn’t take a photo at Shibuya Crossing? Thought to be the world’s busiest pedestrian crosswalk, Shibuya crossing is also home to the bronze statue of Hachikō. The Japanese Akita dog is remembered for his remarkable loyalty and fidelity to his owner, for whom he continued to wait at Shibuya Station every day for nine years following his master’s unfortunate death. A popular spot to watch the organised chaos is from the second floor of Tsutaya Starbucks. The best time to visit Shibuya Crossing is around dusk or later as thousands of locals and tourists flock to the area to meet up for food or shopping. Try to snap a long exposure photo of all the people crossing the intersection against the buildings’ neon lights.
30 minutes
Meiji Jingu Shrine, Shibuya, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Sake Barrels @ Meiji Shrine, The Meiji Jingu (Meiji Shrine) is Tokyo’s largest and most famous Shinto Shrine. Located on an area that covers 175 acres on the edge of Shibuya, the precinct holds a huge collection of decorative sake barrels called kazaridaru. Traditionally, sake has been a means to connect the people of Japan and the gods and each year, sake breweries donate sake barrels to the enshrined deities and the sake is used in ceremonies and festivals. The Meiji Shrine is approximately 10 minutes walk from Harajuku Station. It is open daily from sunrise to sunset and admission to the shrine precinct is free. Please don’t be a douchebag; stay in front of the rope for your photo.
40 minutes
Takeshita Street, Shibuya, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Known as “the cutest street in Tokyo,” Takeshita Street is located in Harajuku. You’ll find cuteness galore, from kawaii clothing shops to pink crepe shops and rainbow cotton candy vendors. The crepe shops are among the most popular local selfie hot spots.
30 minutes
Omoide Yokocho, Nishishinjuku, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Omoide Yokocho, is a narrow lane made up of small restaurants, bars, and shops. It’s a small slice of Japanese back alley culture. For such a small space, there’s a lot going on. It’s chaotic in the best way possible. The lanes look like they’re from a bygone era, and contrasted sharply from the modernity of the surrounding Shinjuku District. Omoide Yokocho actually has a second nickname, “Memory Lane”. This is a reference to the fact that the alley has changed very little over time. The heavenly smell of street food and brightly lit lanterns will draw you in. This is a great place to capture some old-timey Tokyo Instagram shots, as well as some tasty Japanese food!
30 minutes
Shinjuku Golden Gai, Kabukicho, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Shinjuku Golden Gai is a small area in Tokyo with a lot of character. It has a unique and alluring nightlife scene. Small bars are clustered together and weave through narrow alleys and passageways. The lanes are only wide enough for a single person to pass-through. Because of this compact size, it’s the perfect place to take some pics of Tokyo’s city streets. You’ll easily be able to capture all the unique elements in one frame. At night, when the lights go out, and the lanterns and neon signs turn on, this area is especially magical.
30 minutes
Imperial Palace, Chiyoda, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
The current Imperial Palace (皇居, Kōkyo) is located on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo Station. It is the residence of Japan's Imperial Family.

On Sundays, Chuo Dori, the main street through the district, is closed to car traffic from 13:00 to 18:00 (until 17:00 from October through March).
5 minutes
Koishikawa Korakuen Garden, Bunkyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Koishikawa Korakuen (小石川後楽園, Koishikawa Kōrakuen) is one of Tokyo's oldest and best Japanese gardens. It was built in the early Edo Period (1600-1867) at the Tokyo residence of the Mito branch of the ruling Tokugawa family. Like its namesake in Okayama, the garden was named Korakuen after a poem encouraging a ruler to enjoy pleasure only after achieving happiness for his people. Koishikawa is the district in which the garden is located in.
5 minutes
Hama Rikyu Gardens, Chuo, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan

The traditionally styled garden stands in stark contrast to the skyscrapers of the adjacent Shiodome district.
5 minutes
Tokyo National Museum, Uenokoen, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
The Tokyo National Museum (東京国立博物館, Tōkyō Kokuritsu Hakubutsukan) is the oldest and largest of Japan's top-level national museums, which also include the Kyoto National Museum, the Nara National Museum and the Kyushu National Museum. It was originally established in 1972 at Yushima Seido Shrine and moved to its current location in Ueno Park a few years later. The Tokyo National Museum features one of the largest and best collections of art and archeological artifacts in Japan, made up of over 110,000 individual items including nearly a hundred national treasures.

Good English information and audio guides are available.
5 minutes
Rikugien Garden, Bunkyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Rikugien (六義園) is often considered Tokyo's most beautiful Japanese landscape garden alongside Koishikawa Korakuen. Built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien literally means "six poems garden" and reproduces in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems. The garden is a good example of an Edo Period strolling garden and features a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.
5 minutes
Yoyogi Park, Shibuya, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Yoyogi Park (代々木公園, Yoyogi Kōen) is one of Tokyo's largest city parks, featuring wide lawns, ponds and forested areas. It is a great place for jogging, picnicking and other outdoor activities. Although Yoyogi Park has relatively few cherry trees compared to other sites in Tokyo, it makes for a nice cherry blossom viewing spot in spring. Furthermore, it is known for its ginko tree forest, which turns intensely golden in autumn.
5 minutes
Roppongi Hills, Shop & Restaurant, Roppongi, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Roppongi Hills is one of the best examples of a city within the city. Opened in 2003 in the heart of Tokyo's Roppongi district, the building complex features offices, apartments, shops, restaurants, a hotel, art museum, observation deck and more. The office floors are home to leading companies from the IT and financial sectors, and Roppongi Hills has become a symbol of the Japanese IT industry. At the center of Roppongi Hills stands the 238 meter Mori Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the city. While most of the building is occupied by office space, the first few floors have restaurants and shops and the top few floors house an observation deck and modern art museum that are open to the public.
5 minutes
Odaiba District, Daiba, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. It originated as a set of small man made fort islands (daiba literally means "fort"), which were built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo against possible attacks from the sea and specifically in response to the gunboat diplomacy of Commodore Perry. More than a century later, the small islands were joined into larger islands by massive landfills, and Tokyo began a spectacular development project aimed to turn the islands into a futuristic residential and business district during the extravagant 1980s. But development was critically slowed after the burst of the "bubble economy" in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.
5 minutes
Shibamata, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Shibamata (柴又) is a neighborhood on the eastern end of Tokyo, not far from the Edogawa River which is the natural border between Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture. The town retains its old-school charm from yesteryear and is a perfect break away from modern Tokyo. One of the main attractions to see is the Shibamata Taishakuten Temple not far from the station.
5 minutes
Nezu, Nezu, Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Having miraculously avoided major damage during world wars and natural disasters, Yanaka and Nezu—two of the neighborhoods that make up shitamachi, Tokyo's old downtown—retain their last-century charm. You'll find historical sites such as Yanaka Cemetery and Nezu Shrine tucked away among shitamachi's narrow back alleys, traditional wooden houses, izakaya pubs, atmospheric coffee shops and retro stores selling old-style sweets and snacks. Here you can slip back in time to a slower-paced, more genteel Tokyo.
