Tokyo Ota-ku Yaguchi 1-21-23

A Shinto shrine located near Musashi-Nitta Station beyond a residential area. The shrine is dedicated to the samurai Nitta Yoshioki, second son of Nitta clan head Nitta Yoshisada. The shrine is believed to have been built to console the spirt of Yoshioki, who died a terrible death, and later came to be dedicated to him as the shrine's god. Because of this history, the shrine also has a large collection of arms and crafts which once belonged to the Nitta clan. Nitta Shrine is also known as the origin of the hamaya, a now-common arrow-shaped talisman for warding away evil-in the Edo period, Japanese physician Hiraga Gennai came up with the idea for the hamaya after seeing an arrow being sold at a teahouse in front of the shrine which was claimed to be Yoshioki's.

One of the most famous landmarks in Tokyo, the huge red piece of object art was created by the American artist Robert Indiana. It's been a rendezvous spot for couples in many movies and TV dramas. There is also an urban legend that if you can pass between the ""V"" and ""E"" without touching them, the love you seek will come to pass."
Mugiyama Floating Bridge

Travel / Tourism

Tokyo Nishitama-gun Okutamamachi Kawano

"A floating bridge on Lake Okutama, one of Tokyo's prime water sources. Commonly called the ""Drum Can Bridge,"" it gives visitors the chance to walk across Lake Okutama. The 220-meter-long bridge was built to provide foot access to the far shore at the time the dam was built. Originally drum cans provided flotation, but today this is done with polyethylene and styrofoam. The bridge doesn't sway much or get much spray, so kids can cross safely too. Still, watch your step as there are some gaps."

Tokyo Katsushika-ku Shibamata 1-43-1

A laundromat adjacent to the south side platform of Shibamata Station on the Keisei Kanamachi Line.

Most of the portraits are of politicians, entertainers, athletes, and other celebrities. The portraits have been drawn with a realistic touch. All of the portraits were created by the owner, who says he started making them so customers would have something to look at while they waited for their laundry to be done. Because of its distinctive appearance, the laundromat has been featured on television and in other media and has become locally famous.
Yukagen-no-ana

Tokyo Niijimamura Shikinejima

"This sightseeing destination is located on the way to Jinata Onsen, a natural hot spring bath hidden amidst rocky mountains, traveling from the urban center on the east side of Shikinejima Island. Specifically, it is a hole in a stone wall marked with stones inscribed with characters stating in Japanese ""Yukagen no Ana (the hole of bath temperature)"" As its name hints at, the hole is connected to an underground hot spring, and if you stick your hand inside you will be able to feel the warmth it emits. In the winter, the hole even emits steam, and it is a fun destination to visit while checking out the island's natural hot spring baths."

Tokyo Nishitama-gun Hinodemachi Oguno 2986 (Ishiyama Mae Bus Stop)3882 (Ina-Muraishi Bus Stop) Area

15 to 20 minutes by bus from Musashi-Itsukaichi Station or by car from the Hinode Interchange. In most years, fireflies can be seen in the area of the Hirai River from mid-June through mid-July. Your chances of seeing the fireflies are particularly high in the Oguno-Mitsuzawa district and the Iwai district on the upper reaches of the river. The best time to come is during the peak firefly period from late June between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Most of the fireflies are Genji fireflies, but some Heike fireflies can also be seen flying around. Please do not attempt to capture the fireflies and instead simply appreciate their beauty while also taking care to only stay in safe areas near the river.

Tokyo Oshimamachi Nomashi Mabushi

"Volcanic cliffs with a striking cross section of volcanic stratum in the Noma area of southwestern Izu Oshima.

A clear sign of Izu Oshima's history of volcanic activity, the locals refer to it as ""Baumkuchen."" Nearly 100 layers were formed by volcanic deposits from large eruptions which are said to occur roughly every 150 years. It's been estimated that a part of the layered wall is 12,000 to 15,000 years old."
