The Natural History Museum is all about discovering the natural world around us and appeals to all age groups. I remember seeing the dinosaurs when I was five years old and seeing them now still give me the same tingle down my spine. The Blue Whale is outrageous to see as you really can’t imagine how big a life-size model has to be until you walk underneath it. ‘The Power Within’ where you can experience what an earthquake feels like!

the Nijubashi Bridge
The Nijubashi Bridge at the Imperial Palace is a symbol of Tokyo.
The general public is allowed to cross this bridge on two days of the year: New Year’s Day and the Emperor’s birthday on December 23 to greet the Imperial family appearing on a balcony.

Hamarikyu
The traditional Hamarikyu Japanese garden on the Sumida river offers a relaxing break from the bustling modern city, although it’s just a hop and a skip away from the central Ginza district. As the park is surrounded entirely by water, the only entrance is via the Nanmon Bridge (or by boat from Asakusa).
The garden overlooks the vast expanse of Shiori Pond – the only seawater pond in Tokyo – and its two little islands, reached by wooden bridges.
