About this trip

A Tokyo getaway can open your eyes to interesting things from sunrise to sunset (and back to sunrise again). The Sensō-ji Temple is Tokyo’s oldest Buddhist temple and is stunning to see up close. A visit to Ghibli Museum and the Musashigawa-beya Sumo Stable both offer rare, exceptional experiences. Even the sake barrels at Meiji-Jingu Shrine, with their elaborate decoration, are a sight to see. And if it’s nightlife you desire, then you’ll need to hit DJ Bar Oath — plus all the cool little mismatched bars in Golden Gai.
