Itinerar

Ebisu Shrine

15 min

Ebisu Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine dedicated to Ebisu, the god of prosperity and good fortune in business and fishing. The shrine is especially significant because the area of Ebisu is named after this very deity.

Every October, the shrine hosts its annual grand festival, where vibrant portable shrines (mikoshi) are paraded through the streets, bringing energy and celebration to the neighborhood.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of the busy city, Ebisu Shrine offers a peaceful escape and a glimpse into Tokyo’s rich spiritual and cultural history.
Old Asakura family House

40 min Intrarea inclusă

Step back in time at the Former Asakura Residence, a beautifully preserved wooden mansion built in 1919 by a prominent Tokyo politician. Designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, the house features tatami rooms, a traditional tiled roof, and a stunning Japanese strolling garden built along a natural cliff. Nestled in the quiet streets of Ebisu-Daikanyama, it's a hidden gem that captures the spirit of the Taisho era and a rare moment of tranquility in Tokyo.
Ebisu

15 min

The Ebisu SA Building is a striking example of modern Japanese architecture, known for its bold contrast of glass and concrete. This hidden gem offers a unique blend of urban space and Japanese design aesthetics. Pay close attention to the building’s delicate lines and how it captures natural light—subtle details that make a big impression.
Oprirea 4

20 min

The Aoyama Technical College building is a bold example of what fans call "Gundam architecture"—a uniquely Japanese style inspired by the futuristic aesthetics of anime robots. While not an official architectural term, it refers to buildings with angular lines, exposed structures, and mechanical forms reminiscent of mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam. Designed by architect Makoto Watanabe, the school’s dynamic form, visible ducts, and industrial vibe make it a hidden architectural landmark. Rising suddenly amid the streets of Shibuya, it feels like a giant robot has landed in the city.
Josen-ji Temple

40 min

Josen-ji Temple in Daikanyama is a peaceful retreat nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood. Its wooden main hall blends seamlessly with the modern surroundings, offering a beautiful example of traditional Japanese architecture in harmony with nature. With its minimalist design and serene atmosphere, this hidden temple invites visitors to experience the quiet elegance of Japan’s spiritual heritage.
Daikanyama T-Site

30 min

Daikanyama T-SITE is a beautifully designed cultural complex made up of three low-rise buildings arranged in a distinctive T-shape. Designed by Klein Dytham Architecture, the façades feature a repeating “T” pattern—a playful nod to the site's name. Blending seamlessly with the surrounding greenery, the architecture emphasizes openness, light, and a modern aesthetic that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.
