Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo.
Are you eagerly waiting for travel restrictions to be lifted soon?
With the Covid-19 pandemic derailing all holiday plans since early last year, many are hoping to resume travelling within the new norm before the end of 2021.
As one of the top tourist destinations in the world, Tokyo is ready to welcome visitors back to its city when the time comes with standard operating procedures in place for you to have a safe and fun time.
Blending the ultramodern and the traditional, this bustling metropolis offers more than just neon-lit skyscrapers and historic temples.
Here are the top three must-visit places in Tokyo:
Now you must be wondering why you should visit this hotel.
Dubbed as one of the most spectacular gardens in Tokyo with a rich and colorful 700-year history, it is built around a valley that runs from the hotel building down to the banks of the Kanda river.
More importantly, visitors can visit the Chinzanso Garden and admire nature’s beauty, not only as the hotel's guest but also customers of restaurants and shops in the hotel.
Surround yourself with colourful flowers amidst stunning landscapes and enjoy the beauty of every season as the gardens are picturesque all year round, making you question if you’re truly in Tokyo.
Other points of interest include the Entsukaku Pagoda and the Seven Lucky Gods.
The hotel also offers a myriad of unique cultural experiences – Gagaku performance, Awa Odori dance and experience baking your own rice crackers while sipping kelp tea.
Another relatively unknown spot ideal for nature lovers, the Todoroki Valley is just a mere 20-minute ride from Shibuya.
Located in the densely populated Setagaya city ward, it is an attractive walking trail, with a natural canopy of trees along a small river.
Walk through the wooded valley up to an ancient temple and stop by Setsugetsuka, a traditional sweetshop in the park famous for matcha with rakugan (pressed sweets) while taking a break from exploring.
Bringing your little ones along for the trip? Then this family-friendly park is just the place for you and your loved ones.
As one of Tokyo’s largest public parks, it is located on Tokyo Bay and is a great place to relax and unwind.
With exciting activities available such as birdwatching, barbecue and hopping on the ferris wheel or park train, there’s literally something for everyone.
For a bird’s eye view of the entire park, the Diamond and Flowers Ferris wheel also gives you a chance to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji, on a clear sky day.
If you’re into marine life, be sure to venture freely down to the seashore and witness it beaming with beauty.
You can also visit Tokyo Sea Life Park which is situated next to Tokyo Bay.
