BEST OF TOKYO HIGHLIGHTS - WALKING TOUR PART 2

A well-rounded One-Day Tokyo Adventure, from its historical roots to its modern-day urban energy, with plenty of opportunities to experience local food, culture, and the vibrant city life in Shinjuku.
Start your day early at the Tsukiji Fish Market, a historic and iconic food destination in Tokyo, known for its fresh seafood and vibrant morning energy. Though the wholesale fish auctions have moved to Toyosu, the outer market remains a bustling spot with street stalls offering everything from fresh sushi and sashimi to tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) and grilled seafood skewers.

Continue with Hamarikyu Garden, a serene oasis in the heart of Tokyo, where modern skyscrapers frame lush, historic landscapes. Wander through tidal ponds that change with the sea, cross charming wooden bridges, and sip matcha tea in a 300-year-old teahouse. The garden blends Edo-period elegance with urban energy, offering a perfect escape from the city's hustle. It's a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers alike!

Head to the Fukagawa Fudo Temple, a lesser-known but deeply spiritual site in Tokyo. The highlight here is the Goma Fire Ritual that occurs several times daily. The ceremony involves priests chanting in rhythm to drum beats, while large flames burn wooden sticks inscribed with prayers. This intense yet meditative ritual is meant to purify and bring protection. The atmosphere is mesmerizing, with the crackling flames, rhythmic chanting, and rich incense filling the temple air, offering a deeply spiritual experience.

A short walk from the temple is the Fukagawa Edo Museum, where you can step back in time to explore life in Tokyo during the Edo period (1603-1868). The museum is a detailed and interactive replica of an Edo-period town, with life-sized houses, shops, and even seasonal changes reflected in the setup. You can walk through narrow streets, enter homes, and experience the atmosphere of ancient Tokyo. This gives you a unique sense of the city’s history before diving into its modern-day counterpart in the late afternoon.

Your exploration of modern Tokyo begins in the heart of Shinjuku. Start with a visit to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (Tocho), where you can ascend to its Observation Deck on the 45th floor.
Afterward, take a walk through Kabukicho, Tokyo’s famous entertainment and red-light district. Don’t miss the giant Godzilla head perched atop the Shinjuku Toho Building, a quirky symbol of the area.
Venture into Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane), a narrow alleyway filled with tiny eateries and bars. Here, you can grab a quick yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) while taking in the nostalgic post-war atmosphere, complete with lantern-lit doorways and cozy seats. For an even more intimate experience, stroll through Golden Gai, a famous collection of narrow alleyways packed with over 200 tiny bars, many of which have themes or cater to regulars, creating a unique and intimate vibe.
