GINZA SIX
GINZA SIX is a luxurious building with a commanding presence, even amidst the high-end brands lining Ginza's central street. It opened in 2017 as the largest commercial facility in the Ginza district, redeveloping the area including the former site of the Matsuzakaya Ginza store in Ginza 6-chome.
The whole building is super stylish. You get a sense of luxury as soon as you walk in. Most of the stores are high-end brands, so the prices aren't cheap.
Universal Studios Japan
Universal Studios Japan, nicknamed “USJ”, is a large-scale theme park with entertainment for everyone, both children and adults alike. The park is separated into different areas, each with a different theme from popular titles across the world.
You have to wait in line to buy tickets, wait in line for every ride, and even wait in line at the restaurants. Most of the time is spent just waiting. Can't they do something to control the number of visitors?
Inuyama Castle
The Inuyama Castle keep is one of five deemed national treasures in Japan. It’s especially famous for remaining today as the oldest watchtower-style keep in Japan. It’s said it was built in 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu, the father of Oda Nobunaga.
The location is pretty remote. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the station, and there isn't much to see or do nearby.
Sensoji Temple
This iconic destination in Asakusa sees as many as 30 million visitors each year. It stands as a well-loved mainstay in Tokyo, all while hosting a number of annual traditions like the first temple visit at New Years, Setsubun and more across the year.
The five-story pagoda is a real highlight of the temple, but it's a shame you can't go inside to take a look.
TOYOTA AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM

Akasaka Sacas
Extensive commercial area including multiple facilities lined up around TBS TV, a broadcasting station. There are several hills, such as Sakurazaka, in the surrounding area, and the name “Akasaka Sacas” comes from the cherry blossoms that bloom in spring.
Amazing performances, great restaurants, and plenty of shopping—this whole area has a really nice atmosphere.
