Must-see place in Tokyo
*Meiji-Jingu 明治神宮 - Shinto shrine
A map of Meiji-Jingu is here.
I recommend you to go into this shrine from the 1st gate "Ichi-no-Torii" next to JR Harajuku Station.
Before I moved to the U.S., I went to Meiji Shrine and prayed for my family and myself to be well. Whenever I go to Meiji Shrine, I am always filled with a sense of holiness.
You can refer to the article about "etiquette" when visiting the Shinto shrine. Every Shinto shrine is a place that welcomes all, and you can visit the shrine without strictly following this etiquette, but you will feel better about yourself if you follow it.
*Senso-Ji 浅草寺 - Buddist Temple
Senso-Ji is a top-rated destination for tourists from outside Tokyo.
First, enter through the "Kaminarimon" as in the photo above and walk down a "Nakamise-Dori," lined with shops selling uniquely Japanese foods and sundries, to reach the Senso-Ji grounds.
After you satisfy at Senso-Ji, enjoy the streets around it that remind you of the historical mood of Japan. There are many delicious restaurants and attractive shops, so I recommend you research beforehand.
