奥多摩

Nestled about 60 km west of the Imperial Palace, Okutama feels worlds away from Tokyo—its small population and wide-open forests make it a true nature retreat. Hike riverside trails, soak up seasonal colors, and recharge with fresh mountain air on a peaceful weekend escape.

御岳山

Mount Mitake, a 929‑metre peak tucked inside Chichibu‑Tama‑Kai National Park just outside Tokyo, blends refreshing mountain trails with deep spiritual history. At the summit a centuries‑old Shinto shrine still practices traditional rites such as futomani divination, so visitors can pair a brisk hike with a glimpse of living Japanese faith.

昭和記念公園

Spread across Akishima and Tachikawa, Showa Memorial Park is Tokyo’s largest park at 165.3 hectares — a vast green lung where you can stroll, cycle, picnic and enjoy changing seasonal flower displays. It’s an ideal spot for families, photographers and anyone looking for wide-open space away from the city bustle.

高尾山

Just a short train ride from central Tokyo, Mount Takao is a green oasis inside Meiji no Mori Takao Quasi-National Park where you can hike easy forested trails, visit a mountain-top temple, and enjoy sweeping views — on clear days even of Mount Fuji. Well-marked paths, a cable car option, and vivid seasonal blooms and autumn colors make it an ideal half-day or full-day escape.

鉄道博物館

The Railway Museum in Saitama is a spacious JR East–affiliated museum opened in 2007, featuring nearly 9,500 m² of indoor exhibition space that tells the story of Japan’s railways.

Rising above Minato since 1958 and inspired by the Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower’s white-and-orange lattice reaches 332.9 meters and offers sweeping city views from its observation decks. Visit for panoramic photo ops, seasonal illumination shows after dark, and the lively shops and cafés tucked beneath the iconic structure.

東京スカイツリー

Rising 634 meters above Sumida, Tokyo Skytree is Japan’s iconic, record-setting tower and a top spot for breathtaking city views. Ride the high-speed elevators to glass-floored observation decks, enjoy restaurants and the Solamachi shopping complex at its base, and stick around after dark for dramatic nighttime illuminations.

浅草寺

Senso-ji is Tokyo's oldest temple and the spiritual center of Asakusa, known for the Kaminarimon gate, Nakamise shopping street, and the main hall dedicated to Kannon.

明治神宮

Nestled in a peaceful forest in bustling Shibuya, Meiji Shrine honors Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken and offers a calm retreat from the city. Stroll beneath towering torii gates, admire rows of ceremonial sake barrels, glimpse Shinto rituals, and write your wishes on ema as seasonal festivals animate the grounds.

渋谷スクランブル交差点

Stand in the middle of Shibuya Crossing and feel Tokyo’s pulse as up to 3,000 people surge across the intersection on a single green light, framed by towering billboards and neon. It’s an iconic, must-see moment—perfect for people-watching, grabbing a photo from an overlooking café, or simply soaking in the city’s kinetic energy.

新宿御苑

Shinjuku Gyoen is a peaceful green oasis in the heart of Tokyo where traditional Japanese landscaping meets English and French garden styles, born from an Edo-period residence. Wander beneath famous cherry-tree avenues in spring, picnic on wide lawns, and enjoy seasonal blossoms, tranquil ponds and skyline views any time of year.
