How do you plan your typical vacation getaway in the capital city of none other than but the Land of the Rising Sun? Let me tell you of where you have to go in one of your rare visits in Tokyo.
Tokyo National Museum. This is considered as the biggest museum ever built in the entire Japan. The largest volume of Japanese art collection is sheltered in Tokyo National Museum. The galleries are divided into Japanese art, Asian Art, Asian archaeology, Japanese archaeology, treasures of Horyu-ji, and special exhibits. If you chance upon the presentation of special exhibits from renowned artists, you must be ready to expect the severely lengthy lines. As you see, the Japanese people are lovers of arts.
Fish Market in Tsukiji. Have you seen live and really huge crustaceans and varieties of fish? Then open your eyes to the wonders that the Tsukiji Fish Market has at stake. It is a wholesaler market and you can take a look at their products. The best time to wander around the market is from 5:00 am till 8:00 am. The market is thus closed on Sundays and holidays.
The Kabuki-za Theatre. If you’re a lover of the theatre, then get the chance to view a play honouring the rich cultural past of Japan. If the Japanese language is strange to you, English explanation and narration is available by using the provided earphones. The usual performances last from three hours onwards. If you intend to watch the Kabuki play, then you must book a day before your desired schedule.
Imperial Palace. This is the official home of the Imperial family of Japan. Public viewing is only allowed once in a year and that falls on the 1st of January.
East Garden. Strolling around the East Garden can be done though the palace is not up for public viewing. The garden is located at the middle portion of the aged castle with open lawns and tea pavilions.
Meiji-Jingu Shrine. The shrine is an impressive token for the Empress Shoken and Emperor Meiji. Totally ruined during the outbreak of World War II, its original features were retained bearing the Japanese cypress wood material. Just a few kilometres are the Koen Park, Yoyogi Park, and the Harajuku shopping centre.
Kamakura. This has been at a certain point in time assigned as Japan’s capital. In here, you’ll spot numerous Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Among its popular spots are The Great Buddha, Hase-dera Temple, and a nearby beach wherein people flock during the summer.
Nikko. If you love looking at shrines, then go to Nikko. Among the major attractions are the Rinno-ji Temple, Tosho-gu Temple, and the Futara-sanjinja Shrine. Tombs, halls filled with treasures and torii gates are likewise eye catchers in Nikko.
Take my word, Tokyo houses various wonders that the whole world can gape at.
