Ninja Cafe & Bar Harajuku
Cafe
👍👍 Went by myself, and had a blast! I bought the Sasuke pack, which includes ninja training, hiring a ninja outfit, as well as food & drink; and it is definitely worth it! You get taught the basics of wielding a katakana, throwing shuriken, and shooting blow darts; and the staff have a great level of...

Ninja Experience Cafe Kyoto Gion
Cafe
👍👍 We had a lot of fun here. We learned how to throw throwing stars, use blow guns, and some moves with the katana. It's great for young kids and adults alike. The hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. We feel that if we're ever attacked by ninjas we should be ready to fight back successfully.

Shariden Kinkaku
Buddhist temple
👍 For about ¥500 you can take a walk through a path that leads you to a lake with a temple which walls are covered with gold. Crowds of people are taking photos of it because it is the only attraction here. Still it looks really picturesque. A bit overpriced for that only temple. Guides say that 20kg...

Kannon-den (Ginkaku) image
11
Kannon-den (Ginkaku)
Buddhist temple
👍👍 A splendid garden is a highlight. By the way, Ginkaku-ji was a name given by later generations to compete with Kinkaku-ji, and in fact there was no plan to make it silver from the beginning. Even now, there are places where the black color from that time remains, such as under the eaves, so don't f...

Museum
👍👍 開館から閉館までお弁当持って連日居座っても足りません。できることならここに住み込んでしまいたい博物館です。開館から６時間滞在しましたが、夜の道に慣れてないので泣く泣く後にしました。 イベントスペースには色んなビンテージスピーカーがあり、スピーカーによって私の凡人耳でも判るくらい音に違いがあってすごく...

👍👍 Beautiful smaller version of the Statue of liberty overlooking the water and centered between eye pleasing landscape and walking paths.

Kikugetsutei
Historical landmark
👍👍 Ritsurin Garden is one of my favorite gardens in Japan. We live visiting Shikoku because there are way fewer people than where we live (Tokyo). I love this garden because I can enjoy the garden without a big crowd—no lines, no competition for the serene views! This tea house is a real gem, just for...

Sculpture
👍 東村山駅東口の向かって右側に、志村けんの像は鎮座している。夕暮れに訪れたがライトが設置してあり明るい。他にも記念撮影などをしている人達が来ていて、やはり国民的スターだったんだなと思う。 アイーンのポーズと聞いて面白い感じかと想像していたが、和装の志村さんは優しい表情、趣も感じる。 像の脇にある、おど...
