Best places: Things to dos in Minato, Japan

👍👍 Truly is the House of the Lord. I have felt the most peace and happiness and clarity in the Temple more than anywhere else on earth. Through the temple, we can have eternal families!!

The main temple of Jōdo-shū Buddhism, this compound includes ornate buildings dating to the 1600s.

Intimate museum featuring exhibits on the history & technological uses of the Nikon camera.

Venue for weddings & other events featuring a quaint Japanese garden with bonsai trees & koi ponds.

😐 Visited for the “Sailor Moon” exhibition. The museum itself was easy to access and convenient. As per the exhibition, it is not worth the hype (for me). First, it confused me why the “costume change” video at the start of the tour is phohibited to be videographed even though it’s already seen before...

Sleek aquarium with illuminated tanks, penguins & seals, dolphin performances & a museum.

👍 You can see the Tokyo tower well from this place. At night, the tower is lit up and looks more gorgeous.

Buddhist temple & pilgrimage site featuring the graves of the legendary 47 Rōnin samurai.

Tranquil getaway featuring hilly paths, a pond & lots of plant life, plus several statues.

👍 Prince Shiba Park appears when you go to the back of Shiba Park. I think it's a hotel park, and ordinary people can enter it normally. When the roses are in bloom, the combination of the small rose garden and Tokyo Tower is beautiful.

Botanical gardens with a wooded path, ponds, ancient pine trees, marshes & medieval villa ruins.

👍👍 Many people have been fascinated by collections since the opening of the Matsuoka Art Museum in Minato-ku Shimbashi in 1975 (1975). Since the founder Mr. Kiyomiro Matsuoka died at the age of 95 in 1989, due to the efforts of the bereaved families, this new museum will be located at the former site...

👍👍 旧公衆衛生院の建物を改装して開館した郷土歴史館。 東京大学安田講堂も手にした内田祥三により設計された歴史的建造物を活用した拠点。 常設展示、特別展示もあるが、無料で見学可能な建物自体が素晴らしく、一見の価値がある。 特に旧講堂は、重厚な木造の演壇と階段教室形式で実に趣がある。 建物の周りも緑に囲まれ、晴...

Landscaped park that has an artificial gorge with a waterfall & is planted with ornamental trees.

Tranquil park featuring lush greenery & flowers, plus a fish pond & elevated terrain with views.

Colorful robot-themed children's park with multiple slides, plus a tower made of 40 robots.

👍👍 First time visiting this historic site in Japan so much history behind these walls...

Leafy urban space with playgrounds, a pond & a lawn, plus a summer rose garden & an area for dogs.

👍👍 I love this park. Everything is there 2 swings for toddlers, 2 for younger children, slides, walking path, a lawn (playing area) and a convenience store (maruetsu and ATM too) so u can also buy some stuff once u finish playing with ur little one. One beautiful fountain is there. Public restroom is a...

👍 品川駅の高輪口を出て第一京浜を高輪ゲートウェイ駅方面に向かうとこの神社がある。 第一京浜沿いで高輪ゲートウェイ駅からも近いが、鳥居からの入口が狭いので、見落としてしまう。 階段を登り境内もあまり広くないが、厳かな雰囲気。 参拝し御朱印も頂ける。
