Kanei-ji Temple
Built in 1625 by the Tokugawa shogunate as a prayer temple. It later also served as a family temple and entombed here are six former shoguns. The Conpon Chudo (main hall), the Kaisando, the Kiyomizu Kannon, and the Shinobazu-no-Ike Bentendo are among the structures that are located near Ueno Park.
Yanaka Ginza Street
Yanaka Ginza is always crowded with both men and women, young and old, as there is everything from old established shops open since the Taisho era, to modern sweet shops. Many cats also gather at the Yuyake Dandan staircase, which is a sanctuary for taking pictures of cats, located at the entrance of the shopping street.
Nezu-jinja Shrine
Nestled in lush greenery with Koi ponds and a pathway lined with the familiar arches of Torii gates, the Nezu-Jinja Shrine is arguably one of the most photogenic places of worship in Tokyo. It was built in 1706 at the order of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who was the fifth shogun of the Edo era.
