Himeji Castle Nishi-Oyashiki-ato Garden KOKO-EN
On the southwest side of Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site, Koko-en is a strolling-style garden around ponds and consists of nine different themed gardens, including the Garden of the Lord’s Residence, on a vast site of approx. 3,300 m2. The Edo period atmosphere draws visitors, and it’s also known as a popular filming location for movies and TV shows, including samurai dramas.
Walking through the garden lets you escape the hustle and bustle, offering a moment of relaxation and peace. It's the perfect spot to slow down and take in the beauty of nature.

Tokyo Station: Marunouchi Station Building
The construction of Japan’s front gate, Tokyo Station, began in March, 1908 and it was opened in December, 1914. Kingo Tatsuno, the pioneer of modern architecture in Japan, designed it. The steel-framed, brick Marunouchi Station building was burned on the roof and interior in the 1945 air raid.
The beautiful domed ceiling paintings and the intricate decorative details are truly impressive.

It’s pre-war build has garnered its national designation as an Tangible Cultural Property, featuring a bold exterior of mixed Japanese and Western design, and select architectural features that integrate an especially Japanese flair.
