    This cemetery was the site of a five tier pagoda that was burned down by two lovers in a double-suicide, a story which inspired Koda Rohan's novel, The Five-Storied Pagoda.

    This statue of Saigo Takamori is in Ueno Park, the first municipal park in Japan. With his faithful hound Tsun, the Ueno Park symbol stands overlooking the Ueno district. Unveiled in 1898, the 370-centimeter statue has a chest girth of 250 centimeters. It's also a common rendezvous point as it's easy to spot from a distance. It was made by Koun Takamura , the father of the poet-sculptor Kotaro Takamura . The historic statue survived both the Great Kanto Earthquake and the bombings of World War II.

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.
