The quick rule: a torii gate means a Shinto shrine, an incense burner means a Buddhist temple. Tokyo’s big pair is Senso-ji in Asakusa, the city’s oldest temple, and Meiji Jingu, set in a planted forest beside Harajuku. Plenty of tours do both in a day with Skytree added on.
Explore Tokyo’s top sights on this full-day guided bus tour, combining iconic landmarks, cultural activities, and stunning views for a memorable experience.
