    "A slope passing to the southeast of Kikuicho's Raikoji Temple starting at Waseda Station on the Tozai Line. Natsume Soseki was born in the neighborhood in 1867. It got its name from his father, Naokatsu, an important landowner who took to calling it by his own name. This eventually caught on and became official. Towards the Ushigome Health Center you can find the site of Soseki Sanbo, where the author spent the later years of his life. It later became a municipally run apartment building, and today there's the small Soseki Park there. Its ""Neko Zuka (cat mound),"" a memorial to deceased cats, dogs, and pet birds, was installed together with a bust of Soseki."

  • Omokage-bashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Tokyo Toshima-ku Takada 2
    "This bridge spans the Kanda River, a first-class river in the Arakawa river system. There are many different theories about its history. Some say it is about the currently present Omokagebashi Bridge which is located around the central area of the Kanda River. Others claim that the nostalgic name derives from a legend about the tragedy of a beautiful woman who avenged her murdered husband before throwing herself into the Kanda River. The bridge was the model of artist Utagawa Hiroshige's ""Takada Sugatami no Hashi Omokage no Hashijariba"" It no longer exists, but the area is still one of the best cherry blossom viewing sites and there are many visitors in the spring."

    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Nishi-waseda 1-6-1 Waseta Daigaku

    この時期は夏休みのためか学生さんがいません。少し寂しい大隈庭園。晴れた日には緑が映えて、大隈講堂を背景に写真を撮るととても綺麗です。庭園内には芝生や木々が有り、緑もあり、くつろぐには良い場所です。まったりとできる好きな場所です。

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.
