Tokyo, Japan - Shiba Daimon HD (2015)
Shiba Daimon (literally, the great gate). Once you crossed this gate you would have officially entered the central precinct of Zōjō-ji.
Tokyo Walking #12: Around Shibakoen
A fabulous day for a walk around Shibakoen. Located in Minato ward, Tokyo - Shibakoen is the home of Zojoji, a temple that houses several of the Tokugawa shoguns. Shibakoen was also home to Okubo clan as well as Thomas Glover. The restaurant Le Pain Quotidien is a restaurant I thoroughly recommend and depending on where you seat, you might be able to enjoy an incredible view of Tokyo Tower. Also located here is the Princess Hotel. For those who pay attention to detail, I made a couple of errors with the subtitles ... but as they are rather minor I`m too lazy to go back and redo them, please accept my apologies.

Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu - Kanagawa - 鶴岡八幡宮 - 4K Ultra HD
Kanagawa Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu - 鶴岡八幡宮 - 4K Ultra HD : Originally erected and founded by Minamoto Yoritomo in 1063, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is the most important Shinto Shrine in the famous resort city of Kamakura, near Yokohama. Its popularity among Japanese tourists of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is almost without limit and its 1.8km long approach gives the shrine its unique sense of grandeur that unfortunately quickly vanishes once you are standing in the shrine’s main hall. But then again, it is only when you are looking back on your path that you can really appreciate the inner beauty of this temple.
Speaking of the shrine’s main approach, did you know that the two ponds flanking it have a dedicated meaning? Indeed the pond that features three islands represents the Minamoto Clan, while the other represents the Taira Clan, Minamoto’s arch rival and has four islands. While this may sound unimportant to most of us, the number four in Japan is also known as the unluckiest number since in Japanese its pronunciation is similar to the word “death”...

Top 10 Destinations in Tokyo according to DK
Top 10 Destinations in Tokyo according to DK
10. Odaiba Island
Odaiba is a large artificial island in Tokyo, featuring many hypermodern and just plain strange buildings memorably described as the result of an acid-soaked pre-schooler's architecture class. Administratively a part of the Minato, Koto and Shinagawa districts, the area is now a very popular shopping and entertainment destination.
9. Yanaka Cemetery
Yanaka Cemetery is a large cemetery located north of Ueno in Yanaka 7-chome, Taito. The Yanaka sector of Taito is one of the few Tokyo neighborhoods in which the old Shitamachi atmosphere can still be felt. The cemetery is famous for its beautiful cherry blossoms that in April completely cover its paths, and for that reason that its central street is often called Cherry-blossom Avenue.
8. Meiji Shrine
Meiji Shrine is located in a forest that covers an area of 700,000 square-meters (about 175 acres). This area is covered by an evergreen forest that consists of 120,000 trees of 365 different species, which were donated by people from all parts of Japan when the shrine was established. The forest is visited by many as a recreation and relaxation area in the center of Tokyo.
7. Koishikawa Korakuen Garden
Koishikawa Kōrakuen Gardenis is one of two surviving Edo period clan gardens in modern Tokyo, the other being Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden, and one of the oldest and best preserved parks in Tokyo. The construction was started in 1629 by Tokugawa Yorifusa, the daimyo (feudal lord) of Mito han, and was completed by his successor, Tokugawa Mitsukuni.
6. Tokyo National Museum
The Tokyo National Museum, established in 1872, is the oldest Japanese national museum, and the largest art museum in Japan. The museum collects, houses, and preserves a comprehensive collection of art works and archaeological objects of Asia, focusing on Japan. The museum holds over 110,000 objects.

Ueno Park is a spacious public park in the Ueno district of Taitō. The park was established in 1873 on lands formerly belonging to the temple of Kan'ei-ji. The home of a number of major museums, Ueno Park is also celebrated in spring for its cherry blossoms and hanami.
4. Edo-Tokyo Museum
The Edo-Tokyo Museum is a museum of the history of Tokyo during the Edo period. The main features of the permanent exhibitions are the life-size replica of the Nihonbashi, which was the bridge leading into Edo; the Nakamuraza theatre; and scale models of towns and buildings from the Edo, Meiji and Shōwa periods.
3. Sumida River
The Sumida River is a river which flows through Tokyo. It branches from the Arakawa River at Iwabuchi and flows into Tokyo Bay. Its tributaries include the Kanda and Shakujii rivers. What is now known as the Sumida River was previously the path of the Ara-kawa, however towards the end of the Meiji era work was carried out to divert the main flow of the Ara-kawa to prevent flooding.
2. Senso-ji Temple
Sensō-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Shrine.
1. Imperial Palace Grounds
Tokyo Imperial Palace is the main residence of the Emperor of Japan. It is a large park-like area located in the Chiyoda area of Tokyo close to Tokyo Station and contains several buildings including the main palace, the private residences of the imperial family, an archive, museum and administrative offices. It is built on the site of the old Edo castle. The total area including the gardens is 3.41 square kilometres. During the height of the 1980s Japanese property bubble, the palace grounds were valued by some as more than the value of all the real estate in the state of California.
