When talking about Tokyo, the first thing that comes to mind is the eccentric metropolis, the kimono women walking on the streets, the traditional Japanese buildings and the slow pace of life of the Japanese.
Like Beijing, Tokyo is also a city where tradition and modernity collide. Here, you can take a modern tourist photo under the Tokyo Tower, and you can also enjoy peace and tranquility in the temples.
NO.1 Sensoji Temple Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo.
According to legend, in the thirty-sixth year of Emperor Suiko (AD 628), two fishermen were fishing in the Miyato River and picked up a 5.5 cm high golden statue of Guanyin. They thought it was "the manifestation of Guanyin", so nearby people raised funds to build it.
A temple was built to worship this Buddha statue, which is Sensoji Temple.
After years of disasters and reconstruction, it turned into a large group of temples and became a recreational place for nearby Edo citizens. During festivals, there were so many pilgrims who came to worship that they didn't have to walk.
The Wind and Thunder God Gate is the symbol of Sensoji Temple. A large lantern weighing 670 kilograms hangs on the gate and there are 4-meter "Wind God" and "Thunder God" standing on both sides.
NO.2 Tokyo Tower The most famous tower in the world is the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and Tokyo Tower is built based on Eiffel. The difference is that it chooses an orange and white coat, which is actually to ensure aviation recognition.
But actually, if you look at it, the brightly colored iron tower under the blue sky and white clouds is quite in line with the Japanese cartoon style.
Tokyo Tower is 332.6 meters high, 8.6 meters higher than the Eiffel Tower.
Unlike the ornamental Eiffel Tower, Tokyo Tower is responsible for the radio transmission tasks of 7 TV stations, 21 TV relay stations and radio stations.
At a height of 100 meters, there is a two-story observation deck; at 250 meters, there is a glass observation deck, where you can overlook the entire city of Tokyo.
The lower part of the tower is the Iron Tower Building, with a lounge on the first floor, a shopping mall on the second floor, a wax museum with the largest scale in the Far East on the third floor, and a modern science museum and a television studio on the fourth floor.
It is one of the must-visit attractions in Tokyo.
NO.3 Tokyo Skytree This is the Skytree that replaced the Tokyo Tower above. It was built to reduce the radio wave transmission obstacles caused by the numerous high-rise buildings in the center of Tokyo.
It has a cuter name called Tokyo Sky Tree, located in Sumida District, Tokyo, Japan.
The Skytree is the tallest free-standing radio tower in the world and currently the second tallest building in the world, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
There are two observation decks at 350 meters and 450 meters respectively.
The observation deck at 350 meters has a glass floor. If you are brave, you can try it, but forget about fear of heights.
The 450-meter second observation deck is suitable for viewing the night view of Tokyo. It has a domineering name "Tembo Corridor" and there is an endless love for it~NO.4 Friends who are good at the history of Meiji Shrine should remember the Meiji Restoration.
Meiji Jingu Shrine is the place where Emperor Meiji is enshrined. It is adjacent to the Shinjuku business district and occupies the entire area from Yoyogi to Harajuku Station. It is the largest green space in the center of Tokyo.
This is the place where the tombs of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken are enshrined.
It is an important shrine in Japanese Shinto.
Especially when the calamus blooms every June, there are 150 kinds of colorful calamus in the calamus field.
Afterwards, the water lilies at Namchi bloom until September.
Visiting the garden amidst the fragrance of flowers and chirping of birds is also a rare experience.
NO.5 Ueno Park Ueno Park is the first park in Japan.
This is the first choice for cherry blossom viewing in Tokyo. There are more than 1,300 cherry blossoms and the crimson clouds on the Cherry Blossom Avenue. In Lu Xun's writings, it became the first impression of Japanese cherry blossoms for Chinese people.
When the wind blows, the cherry blossoms fall and rain falls, which is very spectacular.
It is also known as a "treasure house of historical sites and cultural properties", including Kan'ei-ji Temple, Tokugawa Jie Ling Temple, Tosho Palace, Kiyomizu Hall, Saigo Takamori Bronze Statue and other monuments.
These buildings left over from the Edo and Meiji eras are scattered among the green pines and cypresses. The Shinobazu Pond in the park is home to a large number of wild black swans and wild geese all year round. When there are not many tourists, you may feel like traveling back to ancient times.
the illusion.
That's right, treat yourself as a little public servant and enjoy it (of course, there will be no shortage of tourists...) Girls can wear kimonos and take beautiful photos as much as they like. Originally, I was just looking for a place to take kimono photos and read reviews on the Dream Travel app.
I was amazed by the girls inside.
