See the capital’s top attractions and come away with a deeper understanding of Tokyo’s culture and history. Religious influences are particularly prominent, especially in destinations such as Meiji Jingu. This large Shinto shrine is dedicated to Emperor Meiji the Great, who transformed Japan from a feudal state into a world power. Its soaring torii gate entry makes quite a statement, as it was constructed with 1,500-year-old cypress. Sensoji temple will be historically revealing as it is Tokyo’s oldest temple. It was founded in the 7th century and dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The shrine that stands today is a reconstruction as heavy bombing in World War II destroyed the original building. You will also behold the 19th-century Imperial Palace, a revered site considered the heart and soul of Tokyo. Japan’s emperor and empress reside at the palace, so only an exterior visit is possible, but you won’t be disappointed.
