- Tokyo Tower was modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but stands at 333 meters - 3 meters taller than its French inspiration. Completed in 1958, it was originally constructed to support TV and radio transmission across Tokyo.
- Shibuya is one of Tokyo’s most vibrant, youth-driven districts - famous for fashion, nightlife, and that iconic crossing - The Shibuya Scramble Crossing.
- Marunouchi, means “Inside the Circle”, referring to its location inside the outer moat of Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace). and it is Japan’s Wall Street. Tokyo Station in Marunouchi opened in 1914 and was modeled after European architecture — it survived WWII bombings and was restored in 2012.
