Sensoji Temple
This music name is Miyako JAPAN.
Asakusa's chief tourist draw is Sensoji Temple (popularly known as Asakusa Kannon Temple). It is the headquarters of the Sho-Kannon sect and is reputedly one of Tokyo's oldest temples, having been founded in 628.
The temple is approached from Kaminari Gate, with its huge red paper lantern.
The shopping street leading to the temple, Nakamise dori, is lined with souvenir and Edo-style craft shops. The vast Kannondo (Main Hall) first built in 1651, was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in 1958. The hall is said to hold a golden image of the Goddess of Mercy (kannon) discovered by three fishermen in the 7th century. In front of the temple is a large cauldron of incense, smoke from which is believed to bestow good health.
To the left is a five-story, 48m-high pagoda (rebuilt in 1973) and modeled after a similar structure at Daigoji Temple in Kyoto. Near the pagoda is Dembo-in - a picturesque tea garden built in the 17th century by noted landscape gardener, Enshu Kobori. Although closed to the public, it may be possible to arrange a viewing by calling in advance at the temple's main office.
To the right of the temple is the Asakusa Shrine, which miraculously escaped war-time bombing. The shrine was built on the orders of the third shogun Iemitsu in memory of the three fishermen and is the home shrine of the Sanja Matsuri held in May and Tokyo's biggest and loudest festival.

Nikko Rinnoji Taiyuin Temple （輪王寺 大ゆ院） and Mausoleum, Nikko District, Japan
Nikko Rinnoji Taiyuin Temple and Mausoleum is located in the Nikko district of Tochigi prefecture in Japan. This temple is part of the Nikko UNESCO world heritage temples and shrines.
This temple is mostly known as the mausoleum of the third Tokugawa shogun Iemitsu (grandson of the first Tokugawa, Ieyasu). It's architectural technique and style as well as the arrangement of the buildings are virtually the same as those of the original Toshogu Shrine in Nikko. Various gates approaching the main temple hall, are as extravagant as the original Nikko Toshogu shrine.
Hope you get a chance to visit this temple and enjoy it.

SwissTravelChannel is a YouTube channel of my holiday’s trips videos, taken all around the world since 2008. Some are for pure tourism and others are more of an adventure. The videos usually show the top best tourist attractions, the top things to do and top places to see. The goal is to inspire others on their next vacations. The videos can also be seen as a guide to have an idea of the main highlights and places to explore. I love to take pictures of the nature, traditions and different cultures, to search the must-see spots and show the essentials in my videos, for this reason I always try to create the perfect vacation. Traveling is more than a hobby for me, is a way of life.

TOKYO (source Wikipedia):
Tokyo, officially Tokyo Metropolis, is the capital city of Japan and one of its 47 prefectures. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府 Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市 Tōkyō-shi).
Tokyo is often referred to as a city, but is officially known and governed as a metropolitan prefecture, which differs from and combines elements of a city and a prefecture, a characteristic unique to Tokyo. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government administers the 23 Special Wards of Tokyo (each governed as an individual city), which cover the area that was the city of Tokyo before it merged and became the metropolitan prefecture in 1943, the 30 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture, and the two outlying island chains. The population of the special wards is over 9 million people, with the total population of the prefecture exceeding 13 million. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area with upwards of 37.8 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy. In 2011, the city hosted 51 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest number of any city in the world, at that time. Tokyo ranked third (twice) in the International Financial Centers Development IndexEdit. The city is also home to various television networks such as Fuji TV, Tokyo MX, TV Tokyo, TV Asahi, Nippon Television, NHK and the Tokyo Broadcasting System.
Tokyo ranked first in the Global Economic Power Index and third in the Global Cities Index. The city is considered an alpha+ world city – as listed by the GaWC's 2008 inventory - and in 2014, Tokyo was ranked first in the Best overall experience category of TripAdvisor's World City Survey (the city also ranked first in the following categories: helpfulness of locals, nightlife, shopping, local public transportation and cleanliness of streets). In 2015, Tokyo was ranked as the 11th most expensive city for expatriates, according to the Mercer consulting firm, and also the world's 11th most expensive city, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's cost-of-living survey. In 2015, Tokyo was named the Most Livable City in the world by the magazine Monocle. The Michelin Guide has awarded Tokyo by far the most Michelin stars of any city in the world. Tokyo was ranked first out of all fifty cities in the 2015 Safe Cities Index. The 2016 edition of QS Best Student Cities ranked Tokyo as the 3rd-best city in the world to be a university student. Tokyo hosted the 1964 Summer Olympics, the 1979 G-7 summit, the 1986 G-7 summit, and the 1993 G-7 summit, and will host the 2019 Rugby World Cup, the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2020 Summer Paralympics.

Kyoto Walk - Kodaiji Temple (高台寺) - 4K
In this video we’ll show you Kodaiji Temple (高台寺), Kyoto.
Kodai-ji Temple is located north east of Yasaka Hokanji Temple at the foot of Higashiyama Ryozen Mountains in Kyoto. It is officially called Kodaiji-jushozenji Temple. The temple was established in 1606 by Kita-no-Mandokoro (1548-1624) in memory of her late husband Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598). Kita-no-Mandokoro was also known as Nene. She later became a priestess and assumed the name of Kodaiin Kogetsuni. In July 1624, Sanko Osho from Kenninji Temple was welcomed as the principal monk and the temple was then named Kodai-ji. Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616) (the first Tokugawa shogun) financed the construction of the temple, resulting in its magnificent appearance.

Tour of Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion of Kyoto Japan + AMAZING Curry Udon Soup!
We went on a tour of the Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺 Golden Pavilion), also known as Kinkakuji. Kinkaku-ji is a Zen Temple in the northern part of Kyoto with its top 2 floors completely adorned in gold leaf. This is one of the most unique sights we have ever seen and definitely one of the top things to do in Kyoto, Japan!
The temple is formally known as Rokuonji and was originally the retirement home of then Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. It became a Zen Buddhist temple after his passing.
Kinka-ji is quite simply a stunning and striking work of Japanese art. It stands out like few structures can, and that is because we don't often see temples made out of gold, if ever. The gold used is not actual solid gold leaf, and if you get close enough you can see the gold leaf pattern on the outside walls of the Golden Temple of Kinkaku-ji.
Overlooking Kinkakuji is a large pond full of fish. The girls loved the fish so much for whatever reason these little pond creatures just put them in a good mood.
We capped off the day by tasting our first bowl of Curry Udon(カレーうどん), something that we just don't see much of at home (at least yet) - and it was delicious! Mildly spicy curry broth, with freshly made udon noodles and giant tempura shrimps to soak in all those curry juices and serve as dumplings? It was truly amazing, and cheap. I believe these bowls were 8$ US per portion.

☆Bits of knowledge〜Nezu-Shrine〜
The Nezu-jinja Shrine is said to have been established over 1,900 years ago by the legendary priest Yamato Takeru no Mikoto in Sendagi with Susanoo no Mikoto as the chief deity. In the Edo Period (1603-1868), the 5th shogun Tsunayoshi relocated it from Sendagi to Nezu to commemorate the adoption of Ienobu as his successor and the 6th shogun Ienobu chose it as the guardian deity.

Japan Trip 2012 Tokyo Hama-rikyu Gardens of the Tokugawa Shogun. -13
Hamarikyu Gardens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamarikyu Gardens (浜離宮恩賜庭園 Hama-rikyū Onshi Teien?) is a public park in Chūō, Tokyo, Japan. Located at the mouth of the Sumida River, it was opened April 1, 1946. The park is a 250,165 m² landscaped garden surrounding Shioiri Pond, the park itself surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shogun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.
Visitors can also enjoy refreshment at a teashop in Nakashima located in the middle of the pond in the garden that offers matcha and Japanese sweets in a tea-ceremony style. A peony garden, plum tree grove and cosmos fields have flowers for every season. Japanese falconry and aikido are demonstrated at New Year.
Japan Ep.6 - Kyoto : Power [ ????]and Pleasure [ ????]
The last episode was about Tokyo finale. When we left the Samurai Museum it was already dark and we were in a rush to go back to the hotel and pack. On the run, we took a few pictures of Shinjuku .
Next day it was back to Tokyo Central moving our headquarters to Osaka for another week of Japanese immersion.
Kyotogyoen
After a very brief Shinkansen ride to Kyoto, we start our visit with Kyoto-Gyoen National Gardens, which surrounds the Imperial Palace and the Sento Palace.
Sento Palace
We booked our free visit to the Sento Palace two months in advance via the Internet. You can find more details about the Sento and Omiya Palaces in the section “Did you know?” at the end of this video.
Only the gardens are open to the public and only in the form of a guided tour. The guided tour is Japanese only but many other languages are available via an audio guide like in any other museum.
The gardens are of monumental simplicity, the expression of hundreds of years of cultural distillation. But every bridge, every rock and every patch of moss have deep significance. The saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is totally in reverse in a Japanese garden. You need to hear first the thousand words before you can absorb the beauty of the garden.
The “bridge of six tiles” or the “beach of thousands rocks” are exactly what the name says but there is a long story behind. The audio guide will tell it to you.
Nijo-Ji Castle
Not far from the Imperial Palace is the Nijo-Ji castle, the residence of the Shogun. Until the Meiji restoration in 1868, the local Shogun was representing the real political power. His palace and gardens are no less refined than the Imperial Palace.
But the resemblance stops here; the Shogun's palace is protected by double fortifications and deep moats. Many of its corridors use so called nightingale floors built to squeak when stepped on, warning the guards about the intruders.
Well... the Shogun was the most feared but not the most loved person in the land.
Teramachi Arcade
Kyoto is also a modern city, with numerous shopping venues. The arcade offers a more traditional approach to modern shopping, far from the larger department stores of the Gion district.
Gion District
Gion district used to be the “pleasures quarters” but evolved into an entertainment district.
There is a narrow street where, after hours of chasing, you may get a glimpse of a Geisha. They appear and disappear in just a few moments, faster than you can grab and turn on your camera. Set your camera ???? to 120 FPS if you want to have a chance to capture the fugitive image of a Geisha.

Top 7 Best Historical Places to Visit in Japan || GENUINE RANKING||
Top 7 Best Historical Places to Visit in Japan
7. Shinjuku, Tokyo
SBest Historical Places to Visit in Japan
Shinjuku is a most talked about location in Japan and other parts of the world because of its commercial advantages. It consists of an array of shops and entertainment centers as well as night life districts. In addition, it houses Japan’s busiest train station. The 60s and 70s are reminders of the old days when political dissidents and beatniks filled the streets shouting protesting words as well as singing songs of protest so that their dissatisfaction could be noted by the then ruling authorities. This then is why Shinjuku was considered by the world to be a birthed counter culture of the 1960s and a place where one can visit if he or she wants to have a slight feeling of what it was like back in the old days.
5. Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum
The world knows that Tokyo has some of the most awesome and breathtaking architectures seen on Earth and taking a theme tour of the country’s capital is an ideal way of learning about the kingdom’s history. The Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum is a sight worth exploring. The museum is located at the edge of Tokyo City and when you reach there, you will be presented with a host of outdoor historic buildings some of which are being preserved while other edifices are in the restoration process. Most of the buildings seen on location are open to the public and when touring each room you will view the lifestyle of the inhabitants who used to live in them.
4. Nikko Toshogu Shrine
In the Nikko circle of shrines, the Toshogu shrine is the most famous. It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage shrines. The tomb of Tokugawa Leyasu who was the first shogun during the Edo period lies on the inside of Toshogu shrine where it remains in a peaceful state. In 1936, builders renovated the shrine to make it look like what it is today – a colorful architectural style spectacle that makes it stands out from the other shrines in the neighborhood. For example: the Yomei-mon gate at the shrine is a spectacular masterpiece of craftsmanship that visitors to the premises always love viewing.
3. Taiyuin Temple
Rated as another UNESCO World Heritage site, Taiyuin Temple sits comfortable on a mountainside in Nikko, Japan. It is in close proximity to Toshogu shrine. Tokugawa Lemitsu, whom was the third reigning shogun at the time, commissioned builders to construct two crypts, one for his founding grandfather Tokugawa Leyasu and first shogun leader during the Edo age and the other one for himself.
The path to take to reach Taiyuin Temple is an uphill climb that begins from the Toshogo shrine and running along the Futarasan shrine. As usually, visitors to the site normally head to the heart of the temple and for them to reach it they must climb many stairs.
2. Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park, Nikko
The Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park is situated in Nikko. It has 106 rooms capacity. And, it is one of Japan’s most outstanding wooden-structure constructions still standing in the kingdom today. The park has a blend of traditional Japanese and modernized Western architecture. That makes it a popular visiting destination for locals and savvy holidaying tourists to the region. It was first the home of relatives of the Tokugawa family members. Authorities of the park later thought it best to move it to a different location and so it ended up in the city of Nikko where the temperature is cooler.
Apart from fantastic architectural buildings on the property, you will behold a breathtaking Japanese garden where you can sit and meditate if you like or view the different species of flowers growing on the compound. Your visit to Tomozawa Park will be a delightsome one and you can take as many pictures you want of it and its surroundings.
1. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
The Japanese and other nations around the world, can never forget what happened at Hiroshima during the war and so a memorial park was built in remembrance of that day. It was in 1945 that the Japanese people living in Hiroshima at the time went through an ordeal of terror as US war planes dropped atomic bombs on them killing millions of people and destroying many buildings. The park was designed by a former metabolist school practitioner known as Kenzo Tange and the constructed building site sits on an area where once a bustling commercial district was. The park’s centerpiece is where the A-Bomb Dome stands today and showing the skeleton remains of the closet building to the blast that miraculously survived the bombing.
