A beloved shrine in Tokyo dedicated to the deity of learning

Kameido Tenjin Shrine, located in Tokyo’s Koto Ward, is one of the most famous shrines dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the deity of learning, scholarship, and culture. Students from all over Japan visit to pray for academic success, making it a spiritual spot filled with youthful energy and hope.

✨ Beautiful Drum Bridges (Taiko-bashi)

The two arched bridges leading toward the main hall are iconic. Visitors cross these bridges as a symbolic purification of mind and body before praying.

✨ Wisteria Festival (Fuji Matsuri)

Every spring, the shrine becomes one of Tokyo’s most photographed spots when its 100+ wisteria vines bloom. Lavender-colored flowers drape over ponds, creating a stunning reflection.

✨ A Shrine Loved by Edo-Era People

During the Edo period, the shrine appeared in ukiyo-e prints by artists like Hiroshige. It was a popular destination for riverside strolls and seasonal flower viewing.

✨ Scholarly Good Fortune

People write wishes on wooden plaques called ema—especially prayers for exam success. You’ll see thousands of them displayed around the grounds.

The tallest structure in Japan and a symbol of modern Tokyo

Tokyo Skytree, located in Sumida Ward, is Japan’s tallest structure and one of the tallest towers in the world. Standing at 634 meters, it serves as a broadcasting tower, an observatory, and a major entertainment hub. Since opening in 2012, it has become a must-visit landmark for travelers.

✨ Two Stunning Observation Decks

Tokyo Skytree offers two observatories with breathtaking 360° views:

• Tembo Deck (350m) – Wide, panoramic views of Tokyo’s cityscape

• Tembo Galleria (450m) – Known as the “skywalk,” with a dramatic, spiraling glass corridor

On clear days, you can even see Mt. Fuji.

✨ Skytree Town

The tower is part of a large entertainment complex featuring:

• Tokyo Solamachi Mall with 300+ shops and restaurants

• An aquarium

• A planetarium

• Seasonal events and illuminations

It’s a complete day-out destination for families and travelers.

✨ Night Illumination

Tokyo Skytree lights up every night in rotating themes, often inspired by traditional Japan—such as “Iki” (stylish) and “Miyabi” (elegant). The tower becomes a glowing art piece against the night sky.
