Fuji Television Headquarters
Designed by Kenzo Tange, the Fuji Television Headquarters is an Odaiba landmark with a silver sphere that gives it a futuristic appearance. Although it is a working television station, some floors are open to visitors.
The building’s design is really unique. You can spot that big sphere from far away, and it’s hard not to notice.
Odaiba Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty in Odaiba, standing against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge, symbolizes the friendship between Japan and France. Initially brought to Odaiba from Paris in 1998 as a temporary exhibit, the site continues to draw immense fandom to this day. With official permission from the city of Paris, it was permanently installed in 2000.
When the weather’s nice with the Rainbow Bridge in the background, the whole scene looks awesome. No matter how you shoot it, it comes out great.
Yokohama Chinatown
Yokohama Chinatown, one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns, is a district lined with countless Chinese restaurants. From affordable dishes you can enjoy as takeout or all-you-can-eat meals to authentic Chinese cuisine, there are options to suit your budget.
It's really heartwarming to see a traditional Chinese Taoist temple in Japan.
Yoyogi Park
The large 544,711.27㎡ site of this park is filled with water and greenery, something that you don’t often find in the heart of Tokyo. During springtime around 800 cherry trees blossom beautifully, and the area around the south side’s fountain is particularly popular as a cherry blossom viewing location.
This is a huge park right in the city center. On weekends and holidays, it's packed with people. Lots of folks bring their dogs to play here.
Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street
While Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street is affectionately known as "Grandma's Harajuku", in recent years it has been drawing attention as a spot enjoyable for people of all ages and genders. Spanning approximately 780m, the shopping street is home to about 200 stores covering a diverse range of genres, including Japanese sweets, Western sweets, bakeries, tea shops, rice cracker shops, and Buddhist altar accessory shops.
They call this place the 'Harajuku for seniors.' Most of the shops sell things for older folks, and you can find all sorts of daily necessities here.
