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.

Five crosswalks and ten lanes of traffic converge into the busiest intersection in the world. The controlled mass movement is poetic.
