 Tokyo Tower, which was erected in 1958 for broadcasting and communication purposes, boasts a height of 333 meters as a symbol of Tokyo.

You can enjoy a 360-degree view of the whole Kanto region from the Main Observatory at 150 meters. From the Special Observatory on the top floor of the tower at 250 meters, you can see as far as Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tsukuba on a clear day.
Meiji Jingu
 Meiji Jingu is one of the most popular shrines located in the heart of Tokyo, yet is a great contrast to the hustle and noise of the city surrounded by the forest of 120,000 trees.
The original building was burnt down during the World War 2 and rebuilt in 1958.
This is a Shinto shrine dedicated to the divine souls of Meiji Emperor and his Empress, Shoken. "Shinto" is a Japan’s ancient original religion deeply rooted in the way of Japanese life.
The shrine itself is composed of two major areas, the Naien and Gaien. The latter is often used for a Japanese traditional wedding nowadays.
The Imperial Palace
 This is a place where their Majesties the Emperor and Empress reside, situated in the center of Tokyo. The palace is surrounded by a water-filled moat and tree-covered grounds, which is located on the site of the former residential palace of the successive Tokugawa Shogun in the Edo Period.
Following the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Meiji Emperor moved here from Kyoto which had been the Imperial Capital for more than a thousand years.
From Kokyo Gaien, the large plaza in front of the Imperial Palace, visitors can view two bridges that form an entrance to the inner palace grounds.
A stone bridge is called Meganebashi (Eyeglass Bridge) for its looks. The other bridge in the back was formerly a wooden bridge with two levels, from which the name Nijubashi (Double Bridge) is derived.
Ginza Shopping District
 Ginza is a district of Chuo ward in Tokyo named after the silver coin mint established there in 1612 during the Edo period.
It is known as the most famous upmarket shopping, dining and entertainment district, featuring numerous department stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, night clubs and cafes.
It is recognized as one of the most luxurious shopping districts in the world.
But just a few minutes' walk from the district will take you to an area where there are various old establishments renowned, such as Tsukiji Hongwanji or Kabukiza, for maintaining a tradition of quality.
Asakusa

MT. FUJI:
 Situated almost in the center of the country (on the prefectural border between Shizuoka and Yamanashi,) Mt. Fuji, also called as Fuji-yama or Fuji-san, is the most popular and undisputedly the number one landmark of Japan.
This cone-shaped mountain, which boasts the highest peak in Japan standing at 12,388 feet or 3,776 meter high, is a dormant but still considered an active volcano that last erupted in 1707–08.
Mt. Fuji has been worshipped as a sacred mountain by the Japanese since ancient times. And even today, it still remains a fascinating icon for visitors / tourists, climbers, and artists from all around the world.

The cable car built with large windows offers breathtaking scenery of the Hakone mountain range, and a panoramic view of the forests around Hakone as well as allowing visitors to take in such spectacular views of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi on a clear sunny day.
Owakudani
 Owakudani, also known as "Jigoku-dani (The Valley of Hell)" is a place where you will see ancient volcanic craters with sulfurous fumes and clouds of steam spiraling from crevasses across the mountain side giving a truly mystical image.
It is still spewing with sulphur and thermal heat about 3,000 years after the last volcanic eruption of Mount Hakone.
Here you'll have a chance to try an "Onsen Tamago," the egg cooked in boiling volcanic water with hydrogen sulfide gas. It has long been believed that eating one of these eggs will extend your longevity by 7 years.
Lake Ashi
 Lake Ashi, or Ashinoko in Japanese, is situated within the dormant volcano at Hakone National Park. History has it that this lake was formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone 3,000 years ago after a volcanic eruption.
It lies at the center of all the mountain range, valleys and the virgin forests of Hakone.

Nijo Castle is a beautiful historic site with great examples of original Japanese architecture, artwork, and gardens. It was designated as one of Kyoto's World Heritage Sites in 1994, an honor it certainly deserves.

In 1994, Kinkakuji was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and nowadays it has become a must-visit place in Kyoto to see around the temple and wander along the garden paths.
