Tokyo Disneyland
Known and loved as the “kingdom of dreams and magic”, this full-scale themepark is just a 15 min. train ride from Tokyo Station.
Space Mountain is one of the most exciting and fun rides at Disneyland, in my opinion.

Kiyosumi Gardens
Kiyosumi Gardens is a strolling-style landscape garden centered on a pond, artificial hills, and dry landscape features. In 1878, businessman Yataro Iwasaki purchased the site of a dilapidated former estate and began planning a garden. It was largely completed in 1880 as Fukagawa Shinbokuen. Construction continued after Iwasaki’s death, resulting in a strolling-style landscape garden featuring a large pond fed by water from the Sumida River and renowned stones brought from throughout Japan.
The garden is really well maintained. When I stood on the little bridge, the koi and turtles came right up to me. I felt a bit bad about not feeding them anything.

Okayama Korakuen Garden
This daimyō garden was commissioned by Ikeda Tsunamasa, lord of the Okayama Domain, as a place of relaxation and was largely completed in 1700. During Tsunamasa’s time, the garden was designed to be viewed from rooms overlooking the grounds. Its landscape later evolved in response to changing social conditions and the preferences of successive lords, gradually becoming more suitable for strolling as streams, ponds, and other features were added.
This is a Japanese garden from the Edo period and also one of Japan's three most famous gardens.
