    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Chiyoda-ku Chiyoda 1-1 Higashi Gyoen
    "This is the site of a corridor which was a part of Edo Castle and which was the location where Asano Naganori, lord of Ako Domain, attacked Kira Yoshinaka, an incident which resulted in the events made famous in the tale of the 47 Ronin. Today, an informational sign on the incident and a stone marker, surrounded by a grove of trees, stand on the site. Located on the left-hand side of the site of Edo Castle's honmaru inner citadel, the tatami matted corridor was the citadel's second-longest. The corridor extended 19 meters to the west and 31 meters to the north. ""Matsu no Oroka"" literally means ""Great Pine Corridor,"" a name it became known by because of the paintings of pine trees depicted along its walls. The corridor frequently appears in historical movies and novels, and a model recreating what it looked like can be seen in the Edo-Tokyo Museum."
  • Site of Edo Castle's Keep
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Chiyoda-ku Chiyoda 1-1 Higashi Gyoen
    This site, located on the northernmost side of Edo Castle's honmaru inner citadel, was once the center of the Edo shogunate government. Edo Castle, built by Ota Dokan in the late Muromachi period, was a simple and small castle, but once Tokugawa Ieyasu took it, he began extensively expanding it as well as the surrounding town. The keep, the largest of its kind in the country, was added on to and renovated several times as a symbol of the power of the Tokugawa shogunate. It burned down, however, in 1657 and was never rebuilt. The base of the keep still stands and benches have been placed on top of it, with many people coming here to take a break while walking around the Imperial Palace.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
