    The University of Tokyo is the first national university in Japan, and its comprehensive strength ranks first in Japan. All disciplines of the University of Tokyo have no obvious shortcomings, and it can be called a "hexagonal warrior". It has nurtured 11 Nobel Prize winners and 16 Japanese prime ministers. It is not only Japan's top university, but also a well-deserved world-class academic sanctuary. The University of Tokyo has a total of 3 campuses: Hongo, Komaba, and Kashiwa This time we visited the main campus of the University of Tokyo-Hongo Campus, which is also the heart of the University of Tokyo. No reservation is required, just go in directly, and you can bring your children with you Transportation🚇: Take the subway from different stations to the "Marunouchi Line Hongo Sanchome" station, exit from Exit 2, and then open the Google Maps navigation to walk to the University of Tokyo, which takes about 10 minutes The campus is very quiet, with ancient buildings, basically European style, large tracts of forests and lakes, and a very deep cultural heritage. I really like to experience different history and humanities in different famous schools

    I checked the website and found that the ginkgo leaves were beginning to fall. I still went there regardless. The golden color that covered the sky was warm, peaceful and brilliant. I could never forget it after just one glance. After arriving, the golden wall in the picture was sparse. However, the roadside was covered with fallen leaves like a golden carpet. The autumn sun was clear, shining through the branches and the fallen leaves. It fell on my cheeks and fingertips, and I quietly enjoyed the last warmth of autumn. I rode a rented bicycle and rested as I watched. When I was tired, I lay down on the wide lawn. I drank some lemon honey and ate an energy bar. I watched people rowing, BBQ, and a small train quietly passed by. I hadn’t visited the Japanese garden enough, and there were night maples in the evening. I decided to have enough fun in this huge park. The ginkgo trees had fallen, but the maple trees were not yet completely red. At 4:30 pm, there was an additional light show for the year. 📝tips: 1/ There are small trains, boats, and bicycles for rent in the park. 2/Don’t worry about food, there are many mobile food trucks and small restaurants.

    It's a very spacious place, and the greenhouse plants are relatively simple, but there are some quite unique ones. The museum is small, focusing on seasonal flowers. Unfortunately, there were no flowers at the time of my visit. 😂 The sycamore trees are magnificent, with occasional visitors sitting under the trees reading. The lawn is large, perfect for a family outing. For the price, a visit is worthwhile, especially during blooming season. The staff are very friendly.

    Mount Takao, located in Hachioji City, west of Tokyo, Japan, is a 599-meter-high mountain and one of the most climbed mountains in the world. It has received a three-star rating from the Michelin Green Guide. Conveniently located about an hour's drive from central Tokyo, it's easily accessible to both beginners and experienced hikers, making it a popular nearby tourist destination.

    ① Sensō-ji Temple ② Kaminarimon Gate ③ Kimono Experience (I personally recommend Ayaka Kimono. It's a niche shop, but the kimonos are fresh and stylish, which is a highlight. The hair braiding skills of the women are top-notch, and the owner is a certified hairstylist. The service is incredibly emotional! 👍) ④ Rickshaw Experience (I recommend riding with two people for a great value) ⑤ Across from Kaminarimon Gate, the Culture and Tourism Center Building, 8th floor, offers a free observation deck ⑥ Stroll around the shopping street, change into a kimono, and take photos of the food while enjoying the food. Food is personal; the best is what you like! 😘

    I heard from my friend that I booked a morning tour of the Imperial Palace in advance on 🍑Bao. I arrived at the Kikyo Gate 10 minutes before the tour started and entered the Imperial Palace by showing the electronic voucher. It was very smooth. There was a special person who gave a detailed explanation in Chinese. It took about an hour to finish the tour. Due to the bombing by the US military during World War II, some buildings were damaged, and only some buildings from the Edo period remained. The palace was newly built after the war, but it still has traditional Japanese characteristics. It is still recommended for people who like architecture and history. In addition, you can also go to the nearby East Garden (closed on Mondays and Fridays). This is the royal garden, and the flowers and plants and exhibitions inside are pretty good. You can also take classic photos with the Nijubashi Bridge as the background in the large square of the Imperial Palace Outer Garden.

    The oldest Western park in Japan, it is also an oasis in the urban area of ​​Tokyo. It has towering trees, the footprints of Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling, the Liberty Bell given by the people of Philadelphia to the Japanese people, and ancient artifacts left over from the ancient Shinto writing period in Japan. You can go to the Imperial Palace through it. Nearby are the Takarazuka Theater, Nissei Theater and Toho Film, the birthplace of modern Japanese culture

    Yoyogi Park is only a few stops away from my hotel. So I left the last stop before returning home to Yoyogi Park. People walk, ride bikes, daydream and walk their dogs here. They forget their troubles for a while. There is a dog activity area with many cute dogs. The park is not big. But it takes two or three hours to walk through it slowly. For me, this place is just right as the last stop.

    The Naoko Park is one of the oldest parks in Japan. The cherry blossoms in this park are very beautiful. It was morning when I went there. Many people were exercising here. There were also many recreational facilities. If you have nothing to do, you can come and visit.
