🗼 1. Tokyo Tower: The Eternal Symbol of the City While the SkyTree is taller, Tokyo Tower (333m) offers a “Real Tokyo” feel, putting you right in the middle of the city’s pulse.

The 600-Step Challenge: For those confident in their fitness, try the Open-air Outer Stairs! You can climb while feeling the wind, and you’ll receive a “Climbing Certificate” as a great souvenir.

Zojoji Temple: Located right next to the tower, this 600-year-old temple of the Tokugawa Shoguns offers a stunning contrast between ancient black-tiled roofs and the vivid red tower.

⛩️ 2. Atago Shrine: Samurai Legends & The Success Stairs A hidden historical power spot on a small hill in the middle of skyscrapers.

Stone Steps to Success: A steep 40-degree staircase. Legend says a brave samurai galloped up these steps on horseback to retrieve plum blossoms for the Shogun. ➡️ Atago Shrine Official Website: https://www.atago-jinja.com/
💡 Kisaki’s Smart Tip: The climb is for success, but the way down is for comfort! Don’t walk down the steep stairs. Head toward the “Atago Green Hills” buildings next to the shrine to find a hidden elevator that takes you smoothly back to street level.

🚌 3. Hato Bus: The “Secret Weapon” for Easy Sightseeing Tokyo is vast and navigating subways can be a “maze.” The famous yellow Hato Bus makes sightseeing effortless.

English Guided Tours: Many courses like “Dynamic Tokyo” include Tokyo Tower, the Imperial Palace, and even a Japanese Lunch (Tempura or Sukiyaki).
Sightsee Just by Sitting: You can view the Imperial Palace and National Diet Building comfortably from the bus window.
