Itinerario

1. Start your adventure at the Fukagawa Edo Museum. Fukagawa Edo Museum is a culture center which was established in 1986. This museum is all about Edo period and the exhibition hall is full of exciting features, such as a reconstruction of the streets of Fukagawa from days gone by as well as displays including everyday life items and plants. Later visit the Kiyosumi Teien Garden. The origin of this garden was the site of the residence of the famous Edo period business magnate, Kinokuniya Bunzaemon. When the great earthquake hit the Kanto area, this garden was greatly damaged, but it saved a lot of lives by providing shelter to the local people. See the beautiful miniature lake "Sensui" located in the central of the garden with three small islands. The water of the lake is currently financed by rainwater, but in the past water from Sumida River was used. For this reason the pond by the ebb and flow of the tide landscape is said to have changed subtly.

About Tokio

Barrios de neón, santuarios tranquilos, comida excelente y distritos singulares: Tokio es una metrópolis inmensa y ordenada, de trenes puntuales.

Cada distrito parece una ciudad propia. El famoso cruce de Shibuya y las torres, los bares y los callejones de Golden Gai en Shinjuku vibran de energía, mientras que Harajuku mezcla la moda juvenil con la calma boscosa del santuario Meiji Jingu. En Asakusa, el templo Sensō-ji y su calle comercial mantienen vivo un Tokio más antiguo, y Ginza ofrece elegantes grandes almacenes y galerías.

Top-ranked sights in Tokio: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
