Every attraction here has its own unique charm. The Tower of Terror especially has amazing sound and light effects—I got startled more than once!

Shinkyo Bridge
The World Heritage site "Shrines and Temples of Nikko" in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, consists of the Futarasan Shrine, Toshogu Shrine, Rinno-ji Temple, and the surrounding archaeological sites. The Shinkyo Bridge, also known as "Yamasuge's Snake Bridge" or "Sacred Bridge", spans the entrance and is one of the cultural properties that constitute the World Heritage site. It is also designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
Even though it's pay-to-use, the bridge is only about 10 meters long and takes less than a minute to cross. Is it really worth the JPY 300 fee?

Sensoji Temple
This iconic destination in Asakusa sees as many as 30 million visitors each year. It stands as a well-loved mainstay in Tokyo, all while hosting a number of annual traditions like the first temple visit at New Years, Setsubun and more across the year.
There are so many tourists here that it feels more like a busy market. I still prefer the peaceful and traditional temples of Japan.

Itsukushima Shrine
Itsukushima Shrine stands on the island of Itsukushima, which is also known as the island of gods. It is said that the shrine was founded in 593 by Saeki no Kuramoto, and the 3 goddess “Ichikishimahime-no-Mikoto,” “Tagorihime-no-Mikoto,” and “Tagitsuhime-no-Mikoto” are enshrined there. Famous for granting a wide list of benefits, these three goddesses as are worshipped as the goddesses of the sea, transportation, fortune, and art.
You can see deer wandering the streets on Miyajima, waiting to be fed by tourists. Besides Itsukushima Shrine, there are lots of shops to explore, and the famous fried oysters are a must-try.
