Tokyo Shibuya-ku Ebisu 4-20

This is a complex in Shibuya City housing office buildings, shopping facilities, restaurants, the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, Museum of Yebisu Beer, and the Westin Hotel Tokyo etc. Among the restaurants, the French restaurant “Gastronomy Joel Robuchon” is famous for being awarded three stars in the Tokyo Michelin Guide. It is about a five-minute walk on the “Ebisu Skywalk”—a moving footpath from the east exit of Ebisu Station.

Worth a look if you happen to be in the area. This commercial complex has a stunning architecture and stands out thanks to the castle like building at its end, which is quite unexpected in Tokyo !

Tokyo Setagaya-ku Goutokuji 2-24-7

A Soto Buddhist temple located in 2 Chome Gotokuji, Setagaya City, Tokyo. The temple was built in 1480 by Kira Masatada, then lord of Setagaya Castle. According to a historical anecdote, a man named Ii Naotaka, the second lord of Hikone Domain (which also ruled Setagaya subsequently), escaped being struck by lightning after a cat beckoned him to enter the temple, and thus the temple is also said to be the origin of Japan's famed maneki-neko beckoning cat figures. Countless beckoning cat figures are arranged around the temple's grounds, and many tourists visit the temple to see this stunning sight.

In winter, the River is lit up spectacularly with special illuminations; the Meguro River thus receives a great many visitors throughout the year.

Tokyo Setagaya-ku Okusawa 7-41-3

"Located in the city center a five-minute walk from Kuhonbutsu Station and a 10-minute walk from Jiyugaoka Station, this Jodo Buddhist temple has an authentic traditional dry landscape garden like you might see in Kyoto. ""Kuhonbutsu"" refers to the nine statues of Amida Buddha enshrined at the temple, and the temple is often referred to by this name. Founded in 1678, it houses Tangible Cultural Properties such as a seated wooden Amida Nyorai sculpture, a silk-based colored picture of the master Kaseki Shonin, and an old Buddhist temple bell. The garden with its pond across from the dry landscape garden is well known for its colored leaves in autumn, when it gets busy with tourists."

Walking here at winter could be very cold but still I love the peaceful vibe and serenity of this place. It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood up a hill. It’s quite far from downtown Tokyo but if...

Tokyo Shibuya-ku Sarugakucho 29-20

This cultural heritage site is located a five-minute walk from Daikanyama Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. The estate was built in 1919 by Torajiro Asakura, a man who served as chairman of the Tokyo Prefectural Assembly and chairman of the Shibuya Ward Assembly. One of only a few Japanese-style structures in the area still standing today which predates the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the site was designated a National Important Cultural Property in 2004 due to its high historic and cultural value. The wooden residence has two floors. The main building, which is open to the general public, is an excellent example of estates built at the time; for instance, almost all of the rooms have tatami mat floors, and the roof is covered with kawara tiles. The estate's garden is a traditional Japanese strolling garden built around a central pond, and here visitors can enjoy seasonal scenery.

After several days in the busier areas of Tokyo, the Old Asakura residence gave me a different look at life in the city. To an American used to visiting Gilded Age Mansions in the the US, country...

Tokyo Meguro-ku Meguro Kawazoe road

This line of cherry trees that stretches along both sides of the Meguro River for about 3.8 kilometers is one of Tokyo’s best spots for hanami (cherry blossom viewing). About 800 cherry trees (mostly of the Somei-Yoshino variety) have been planted along the river from near Ikejiri-ohashi Station to the vicinity of Fudo-mae Station. In spring a cherry blossom festival is held and the areas is full of yatai food stalls. The beauty of the cherry blossom petals floating on the Meguro River is a must-see. Children and the elderly should take care during the busy seasons, however, as it can become quite crowded.
