17 days in Tokyo Itinerary

Tokyo holds the status of most populous metropolitan area in the world--a fact you'll find tangible as you walk the bustling streets and explore its diverse neighborhoods and cultures.

Do some cultural sightseeing at Senso-ji Temple and Ueno District. Discover out-of-the-way places like Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and Chidorigafuchi. Change things up with these side-trips from Tokyo: Deguchi Pond (in Oshino-mura), Kamakura (Kencho-ji Temple, Catholic Yuigahama Church, &more) and Enoshima Sea Candle (in Fujisawa). There's lots more to do: wander the streets of Yanaka District, take in the spiritual surroundings of Tokyo Camii & Turkish Culture Center, don't miss a visit to Hozomon, and take in nature's colorful creations at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.
