Tokyo is not only a brave city, but also an exquisite city. But the intricate road network in the steel jungle weaves a kind of tenderness that makes people smile. This is her charm. This guide is written according to the main areas of Tokyo to help you not get lost in Tokyo.
Chiyoda -Ku, Chiyoda District
In the movie Lost in Tokyo, the young Scarlett looked back and smiled.
Marunouchi
This is the city center where the Palace and Tokyo Station are located. Tokyo has always been called edo, which means "the gate of rivers". In its heyday, Judy was once the largest castle in the world, occupying the former site of Edo City. The palace is not open, but the famous historical landmark composed of courtyards and double bridges is in sharp contrast with the modern city.
From Hibiya Park in Hibiya Park to Hibiya Bridge in Shuangqiao, the courtyard square is full of citizens wearing professional equipment to practice the Tokyo Marathon. The Japanese attach great importance to these public activities.
Tokyo station has a history of hundreds of years. This complex, called "Tokyo Station City", includes Otaru on the east side of Yaeke Mountain. There are also many museums and public buildings nearby, such as the following landmarks: Tokyo International Forum and Tokyo International Conference Center, designed by architect Rafael Vinori.
central area
Nihombashi, the Japanese bridge in the center of the financial center, is the starting point of Japan's road network, and all distances measured during the Edo period are based on this bridge.
Ginza (a bustling street in Tokyo)
Not far from Ginza in Marunouchi, this is the residence of the hostess of Tokyo female picture book, which is a symbol of success. The brand hangs a small Ginza behind its name to show luxury.
Original text, big-name shops in Ginza and architectural design that complement each other. Of course, the consumption here is also wonderful. Open the public comment and you can find the Michelin restaurant around you.
Tokyo Ginza Guide, a good brand knows how to choose a good designer.
Ginza Ginza, as a landmark business district in Tokyo, once the brand name is added, it means that the price is soaring and the price is high.
In addition to the old shopping malls such as Mitsukoshi Ginza, all major luxury brands have set up flagship stores in Ginza, where the building surface is wide and narrow and the floors are very high, forming a unique commercial street.
Since it is famous for its fashionable and luxurious design, how can major brands invite famous architects to design the flagship store in Ginza? You also need to know some culture when you buy in buy buy.
Figure 2 Christian Dior Ginza Architect: Ricardo Bofil Address: 5-6- 1 Ginza, downtown Tokyo. When Dior meets Chanel, it must be white Dior and black Chanel, which echo each other and complement each other.
Figure 3Chanel Ginza Architect: Peter marino Address: 3-5-3 Ginza, downtown Tokyo. It's dark during the day, but at night it becomes a big screen, scrolling with its own advertisements.
Figure 4 Van Cleef & Arpels' skin is as shiny and lovely as his jewelry.
Figure 5 Hermè s Ginza, Hermè s Ginza Architect: Renzo piano Address: 5-4- 1 Ginza, downtown Tokyo. Glass brick is also the iconic design language of Pulitzer Prize winners. Used on Hermes, low-key luxury.

Fig.7 Mikimoto Ginza 2. Architect of Yumu Ginza Store 2: toyo ito Address: 2-4- 12 Ginza, Central District, Tokyo. Pearl should choose Mikimoto. No matter they are members of the royal family, Hollywood stars, celebrities and politicians, no matter which country or region they come from, everyone loves Mikimoto.
Tuvuitton Ginza Architect: Aoki Chun Address: 7-6- 1 LV Royal Architect, Ginza, Central Tokyo. He made all the flagship stores.
Fig. 9 Architect of Tiffany Ginza: Kengo Kuma Address: 2-7- 17 Ginza, Central Tokyo Kengo Kuma is already a national treasure architect. When I went, the Tiffany building didn't light up for some reason, and the lighting effect was very pleasant.
Tsukiji
The delicious seafood in Tsukiji market is the best reward for early babies. The daily trading volume of seafood is 2000 tons. There is a wholesale market in the market, and restaurants and stalls are gathered outside the market. There is also a famous tuna auction at five o'clock in the morning. It is a great satisfaction to eat a bowl of paella like a local in the morning and not see the auction.
Minato Port Area
There are my favorite roppongi in the international port area. From here to Mount Omotesando Hills, it can be said that it is my favorite Tokyo area. It is not only low-key and luxurious, but also full of artistic flavor. There are Taichang and Tokyo Bay.
Taichang Taichang
The artificial beach and the replica of the Statue of Liberty in Taiwan Province Seaside Park are tourists' favorite places to take pictures with the Rainbow Bridge as the background. The story of Edo Hot Springs not far away is a popular choice of Tokyo Hot Springs.
Roppongi Roppongi
Roppongi Mountain has the most beautiful aerial view of Tokyo and the best place to enjoy the sunset of Tokyo Tower. When the weather is good, you can add 500 yen to board the open-air Skydeck to feel the air of the city. The iconic Okumo Maman at the entrance was created by Louise bourgeois, a famous French female artist. When we went, the Shangsen Art Museum was showing an exhibition of Marie Antoinette, the beheaded French queen and the founder of Rococo, which attracted a large number of local people. The Japanese love for art and France is evident.
The most beautiful panorama of Tokyo
Of course, the most beautiful panoramic view of Tokyo is Roppongi Mountain and the sky deck on the roof of Mori Art Museum. You can watch the Tokyo Tower up close and hold a cool exhibition.
Museum and observation deck tickets 1500 yen, sky deck 500 yen. When the weather is bad, the open platform will be closed.
Photo 127 shows Roppongi Hilsen Art Museum. The day we went was the Lantern Festival, and the Tokyo Tower became a candle lamp with a "full moon diamond veil". I prefer the orange one in the last picture. Summer is white.
Figure 4 shows Maman, the representative work of Louise Bougeois, a French female sculptor in Roppongi Mountain. Its popularity is believed to be understood by children who study architectural art, so Roppongi is a tall exhibition.
The picture shows the Tokyo Metropolitan Office. Her north-south sightseeing tower is a good place to overlook Mount Fuji during the day. Of course, you can watch the night view at night. The night view of Cocoon Tower and surrounding Shinjuku is very distinctive.
Among the numerous museums and art galleries in Roppongi, it is worth mentioning that the 2 1_2 1 design line of sight Issey Miyake Museum is very suitable for young artists. It was designed by Tadao Ando, a Japanese architect and Pulitzer Prize winner. Admission 1000 yen (adult). You'd better visit the exhibition.
Shibuya district
Harajuku Harajuku
From Roppongi to here, it is my favorite Omotesando Hills Mountain. Fashion and elegance. It's also a big-name store, but it's not as noisy as Ginza. We started with the Jingen Art Museum designed by Kengo Kuma in Kengo Kuma. There are not only buildings that blend traditional and modern Japanese culture, but also a large Japanese courtyard hidden in the middle. It's pleasant to walk in it. It was snowing when we went, and there were umbrellas under the eaves in front of every entrance.
The entrance to Mount Omotesando Hills, this avenue was originally the official passage of Meiji Jingu. If you think the main street is noisy, turn into the nearby Cat Street. There are surprises, and there are many coffee shops and delicious sushi waiting for you to discover.
Mount Omotesando Hills is a must-see shopping place in Tokyo.
A fashionista must not miss Omotesando Hills Hills, where there are many famous fashion brands, shops built by architects for major brands and artistic window designs. Figure 1 Dior Omotesando Hills Mountain Hall, architect: SANAA, chief designer Kazuo Shimashima is the first and second female Pulitzer Prize winner in Japan. Figure 7 was also designed by Kazuo Mishima, located in Cat Street near Mount Omotesando Hills. 2 Miu miu Omotesando Hills Hill Store, Architect: Herzog de Mellon Figure 3 Prada Omotesando Hills Hill Store, Architect: Herzog de Mellon, Address: No.5-2-6 Nanqingshan, Port Area, Tokyo. Herzog de Mellon is the biological son of Prada and Miu Miu. Two flagship stores in Mount Omotesando Hills asked them not to design, and left the architect's name on the glass curtain wall of Prada. For the Japanese who admire craftsmen and art, this photo 4 of Chanel Omotesando Hills Mountain Store, architect: MVRDV, is different from the previous one. This building is not exclusive to Chanel, but it continues the tradition that Dior next door uses white and I use black. Figure 5 Louis Vuitton Omotesando Hills Hill Store, architect: Aoki Chun, address: 5-7-5 in front of Shibuya Shrine in Tokyo. Aoki Chun is the exclusive architect of LV stores, and those LV stores that make everyone unforgettable are basically his designs. Fig. 6 One Omotesando Hills Mountain, architect: Kengo Kuma, address: 3-5-29 Kengo Kuma's iconic energy-saving riser facade 8 Hugo Boss Omotesando Hills Mountain Store, architect: Dian Yandan, address: 5- 1-3 The BOSS building in front of Shibuya Shrine in Tokyo is also a landmark building that Omotesando Hills Mountain will never forget. Concrete and glass have a sense of ceremony like a monument. The owner behind TOD's Omotesando Hills Shanshan Store, architect: toyo ito, address: 5- 1-5 in front of Shibuya Shrine in Tokyo. However, the TOD's building behind the boss is the work of the more famous master toyo ito. These two buildings are not as bright as other houses at night, but they are the only landmarks of Mount Omotesando Hills during the day. Fig. 9 Jingen Art Museum, architect: Kengo Kuma, address: 6-5- 1 Nanqingshan, Port Area, Tokyo. If you love literature and art, you can't miss this art museum at the end of the hills in Omotesando Hills. There are beautiful and quiet Japanese gardens in the art gallery. In order to prevent tourists from being disturbed by rain and snow, you have prepared umbrellas when you go in and out of the garden corridor.
go shopping
At the other end of Mount Omotesando Hills, the Tokyo Square in the picture below is the Imperial Garden in Meiji Jingu. Emperor Meiji personally designed this garden for walking and enjoying flowers. You can see the beautiful scenery of iris in full bloom in June.
Yoyogi, Yoyogi.
Then I went to Yoyogi Park, the Yoyogi Gymnasium designed by Kenzi Ge Tan, the first Asian Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, for the 1964 Olympic Games. Its architecture still has no outdated feeling and was selected as one of the most beautiful buildings in the 20th century. Living not too far from Yoyogi Park is a good place to run in the morning.
Shibuya Shibuya
There are many movies here that love to use "the busiest crossroads in the world" to express the sense of metropolis, and visiting Starbucks here to experience the crossroads where people come and go has become a great reservation. Everyone likes to meet in front of the most famous statue of Tadashi Akita.
Shinjuku district
In the famous kabukicho in Tokyo, we live in Sammi, Nisshinjuku, near the Metropolitan Hall and next to Shinjuku Park. The 202-meter twin-tower viewing room in Kenzi Ge Tan Tokyo Metropolitan Hall is open to the public free of charge. On sunny days, it can overlook Mount Fuji.
Shinjuku Station is the busiest railway station in the world. In addition to the Metropolitan Hall, the landmark is the cocoon tower, and there is also the cocoon building of Mode College with net skin. I want to go to kabuki hall, gay bar street, go shopping in shopping malls and eat special dishes. This bustling area can meet all kinds of needs.
Shinjuku Imperial Garden in April is a good place to enjoy cherry blossom picnics. There are huge water lilies and carefully cultivated orchids in the greenhouse. The northwest of Shinjuku is the most livable Jixiangsi area in Tokyo. Children with Miyazaki Hayao complex can't miss the third camp Ghibli Art Museum. Remember to buy tickets in advance.
Miyuki Senghibli Art Museum in Tokyo, a fairy tale world in Miyazaki Hayao.
The art gallery is full. If you know Japanese, you can make an appointment in Rosen, Japan. Photography is not allowed in the museum (allowed outside) for everyone to enjoy. Fig. 6 is a photo of Miyazaki Hayao's studio found in the museum. It's really great: countless truncated pencil heads, two pencils wrapped with tape, and a new pencil; On the wall, a little monster statue representing Miyazaki Hayao is smoking; In the old days, the girls in the color filling department would help the boys in the cross-incubation department. Now, all they do is cross their waists and shout, "You idiots, why are you so slow?" Figure 2 sighed, "Ah! Oro "ran to the small basin friends holding the window. The third camp Ghibli Art Museum is sincere to all children who love Miyazaki Hayao animation, and brought home a small briquette by the way. Every week, the art museum shows an independent animated short film produced by the museum, and the ticket is the movie ticket. We watched the rabbit paper race, but we would rather watch the short film "Mr Dough and the Egg Princess" in Figure 9. By the way, tickets can also play three frames of Miyazaki Hayao animation on the projector of the museum. Oh, it's really hard. Figure 8 Totoro bus can only play with children's paper. I feel super soft and want to rejuvenate. Arrive at the east-west line of the subway and the south exit of Sanying Station; JR East Japan Central Line, South Exit of Sanying Station; After getting off, walk 15 minutes or take a bus for about 6 minutes. Bus: There are two bus lines from the south exit of Sanying Station to the Art Museum. The yellow body of the bus is painted with an animated image, and the front of the bus is marked with my totoro, which is very eye-catching. One-way ticket is 200 for adults, 0/00 for children, 320 for adults and 0/60 for children. Opening hours: Monday: 10: 00- 18: 00, Wednesday-Sunday: 10:00- 18:00,12: 00,65438.

Taidong district
Asakusa asakusa
As a landmark of Tokyo, the Leimen Gate in Sensoji Temple is crowded with tourists, and there are many young girls wearing kimonos taking photos. There is also a Asakusa shrine in the east of the temple, which is the venue of the May 3rd Congress.
What attracts me more than Sensoji Temple is the Asakusa Sightseeing Cultural Center opposite, which was designed by Kengo Kuma in Kengo Kuma. You can climb the mountain and overlook it, and you can see the Zhongjing Shitong in front of Sensoji Temple and the clear sky tower in the adjacent Motian District.
Ueno
Ueno is the cultural center of Tokyo. Ueno Park is surrounded by several museums, a lovely animal park and the Shinozu Pool at the southern end. In summer, the pond is full of water lilies. In winter, when we went, we took pictures of waterfowl in the pool below.
As the Q Zoo in the world, put a cherry blossom poster to feel the cuteness of the oldest zoo in Japan, especially suitable for parent-child tours.
There are many museums in Ueno Park, among which le corbusier, the founder of modernism who protected the integrity of Monet Museum, has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Despite the age, tourists are still coming in an endless stream. I still feel the mutual love between Japanese culture and French culture mentioned above. The small garden in front is full of Rodin's sculptures, quite like the Rodin Art Museum in Paris.
After reading "After-dinner Reasoning" of sweet potato, you will know that the old Iwasaki family compound, the home of the first lady in Japanese drama, is the eldest son mansion of Mitsubishi Founder, next to Ueno Park.
Yutian District, Mo Tian
The tallest building in Tokyo, the Sky Tower, is located in Morita District. Although she is the tallest building in Tokyo, people in Tokyo have less affection for her than the orange Tokyo Tower. Rock climbing friends can feel the glass corridor on Skywalker's sky wave deck.
The newly-built Mo Tian Kitazawa Art Museum was designed by Japanese female architects and the second Pulitzer Prize winners Shimashimazu and Fu Nu. Among them, the ukiyo-e painting by the master Ge Zhengbei Zhai is on display.
These two countries are also the birthplace of sumo in Mo Tian. There are famous sumo venues, the National Museum of Technology and the Sumo Museum of the two countries.
traffic
Tokyo subway is developed, with convenient transportation and accurate time. Use Google Maps to search the route here, and you can be accurate to which subway to take and when to arrive. Very convenient and easy to use.
As a nut, you can buy a 1~3-day subway travel pass according to your own needs, and you can take most jr and Du Ying subway lines. 1 800 yen, 2 1200 yen and 3 1500 yen. If you go out mainly by subway, it is much more cost-effective to buy a three-day ticket than a watermelon card used by locals. Pass subway can be purchased with a passport at Bic Camera and Laox in the airport or downtown.
