About this trip

If you have two free days during your Tokyo vacation, check out the sights you’ll remember forever. Uncover old history at the Edo Castle ruins and newer history (and the lovely East Garden) at Imperial Palace. Visit Meiji-Jingu Shrine inside a lush forest for a peaceful respite from the action of Tokyo. Of course, if it’s action you crave, you’ll have to visit Shibuya Crossing, the intersection to end all intersections. And no Tokyo trip is complete without seeing Toyosu Fish Market, the biggest seafood market on the planet.
