SUMMARY

On this tour we mainly explore Odaiba which is on man-made islands located in the Tokyo Bay. This area has many interesting spots but it's too large to walk.

We againg cross Rainbow Bridge but this time you will see it from the cruise ship.

SUMMARY
Shitamachi literally means "lower town "where commoner lived during the Edo era. Shitamachi is one of a few places where old atmosphere remains in this modernized Tokyo.

First we run though an old town which still remains between high-rise condominiums. Then, visit a Shinto shrine and a Buddhist temple. Both of them are not famous among foreign tourists but they have something worth visiting. Only locals know what the charms of them are. If we are lucky, we will see some Sumo wrestlers walking around near the Sumo stadium. This tour ends at Tokyo Sky Tree which has just opened on the May 22, 2012. You can find some nice souvenirs at the Soramachi shopping mall for sure.
