Tokyo Tower has such a classic look, and it’s especially beautiful when it’s lit up at night. Even though it’s not as tall as Skytree, it feels more like Tokyo in terms of atmosphere.

Okunitama-jinja Shrine
Okunitama Shrine, with a history stretching back about 1900 years, is where Okunitama-no-Okami, the deity protecting the Musashino area, is enshrined. Musashino was a vast area including modern-day Tokyo, Saitama, and parts of Kanagawa. Inside the shrine grounds are several smaller shrines, each one granting its own blessing. Among those, the shrine blessing love and marriage is especially well-known.
This place feels rich with history. The large trees lining the approach are really impressive, and the whole shrine has a dignified atmosphere without feeling too intimidating.

Babadaimon no Keyaki Namiki
Keyaki Namiki is a 500-meter long walkup that's flanked with over 120 Zelkova trees. The avenue serves as a promenade that leads to Okunitama-jinja Shrine, and remains the sole National Natural Monument in Japan to be designated for its Zelkova trees.
The rows of tall zelkova trees look really impressive. It’s not as crowded as the more popular tourist areas, so the atmosphere feels much more relaxed.

Pabron
The “Pabron” brand of medicine, produced by Taisho Pharmaceuticals, is one of Japan’s most common cold medicines.
The small packets are super convenient. They’re easy to toss in your bag when traveling, so you don’t have to bring a whole box of medicine. Really practical when you suddenly start feeling unwell.
