Begin your tour by exploring the famous skyline, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building along the west side of Shinjuku Station.

3) Jingu Gaien
Continue to Jingu Gaien and admire the iconic row of Ginkgo trees, especially beautiful in autumn.
4) Aoyama Cemetery
Then, head to Aoyama Cemetery, a historic Tokyo cemetery where many notable Japanese and Western figures are buried.

Then, visit Zojo-ji Temple, the main temple of the Buddhist Jodo sect in the Kanto region, offering the best vantage point for viewing Tokyo Tower.
7) Shiodome SIO-SITE
Next, head to Shiodome SIO-SITE, Tokyo's largest modern redevelopment area. Take a lunch break here (not included in price). After lunch, enjoy panoramic views of Tokyo Bay from the top of the building.
