Re: [94attendees] Day trip to Tokyo

["Ved Kafle" <[e-mail]>]

If you like to get some experience with Japanese gardens, visiting 
Imperial Palace East Garden http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3018.html is 
not a bad idea. This garden is located at a walkable distance from Tokyo 
Station.

And if you like to see Japanese temples, Sensoji Temple 
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3001.html in Asakusa is worth a visit. 
Asakusa can be reached from Ueno station by subway in 15 minutes. 
For finding train routes in Japan, http://www.hyperdia.com is helpful.

trains once, and walking from Akasaka Station, which is a very doable 
walk (I have done it before). http://tinyurl.com/p592sso

have a lot of toys there.
