Tokyo 4-day Pre-cruise Package: Transfers, Hotel, Tours

Located in the Asakusa district of Tokyo, Sensoji Temple is brightly colored and was first built in 645. It is the oldest temple in the world and has always been one of the famous ancient temples in Tokyo. The entrance of the temple is the famous Kaminarimon Gate, with huge lanterns hanging on the towering gate. 

Kaminarimon has become a well-known landmark in Asakusa because of its unique shape, and it is also a popular photo spot. Walk through the gate to the 200-meter-long Nakamise Shopping Street, lined with shops selling various souvenirs and local snacks. After shopping and eating, you can go through the treasure gate to the inner courtyard of the temple, where you can see the main hall, five-story pagoda and Asakusa Shrine.

Meiji Shrine is located in the center of Tokyo. It is a shrine built to worship Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. It is also the most important shrine of Shintoism in Japan. The number of people who visit Meiji Shrine every year is the highest in Japan, because the divination signs are very effective, and many people pray here for "family safety", "academic achievement" and so on. Every year, many important life ceremonies such as newborn naming ceremonies, coming-of-age ceremonies, and graduation ceremonies are held here. In particular, thousands of traditional Japanese weddings are held every year, adding a delicate and beautiful scenery here.

What is the most identifiable landmark in Tokyo? It is the Shibuya Crossing. A visit to Tokyo would not be complete without visiting this unquestionably must-see.

Its sprawling scramble intersection is a picture of Tokyo as a whole: action in all directions. The street is constantly filled with people from all directions heading in different directions. As they try to cross, they bump, sidestep, and swerve around each other in a frantic mess. After a few minutes, it stops. When the traffic gets its turn, every little corner of the intersection slowly fills up, and just as people spill into the street, the crosswalk light turns green and the mayhem begins again.

A total of 500,000 people cross the crossing each day, which means 3,000 people cross at once!   

Originally the residence of the samurai family, Shinjuku Gyoen became the imperial garden in 1903 and finally opened as a park in 1949. The vast garden with an area of 144 acres is full of green grass, which is especially suitable for picnics; in spring, thousands of cherry blossom trees dye Shinjuku Gyoen Garden pink, and strolling under the flowers is full of romance.

In addition, Shinjuku Gyoen also has three distinctive gardens: Japanese garden, French garden and English garden, as well as quiet ponds, quiet woods and greenhouses with a variety of tropical and subtropical flowers. If you want to have a light meal here, you can taste traditional dishes or snacks at HANANOKi Cafe.
