Social Science

Tokyo is the capital of Japan and one of the busiest and most beautiful cities in the world. People love to visit Japan and enjoy the rush-hour trains, beautiful Sky tree, Tokyo tower et al. We all know about the famous Shibuya crossing which a large number of people pass through everyday. The Tokyo metro service is one of best with extremely efficient arrangements of tracks and trains. Tokyo is not just a Hi-tech city but also a bearer of the Japanese tradition and culture in its vein, alongside the technological reformations. The Senso-ji is one of the major attractions for tourists where beautiful temples, and shrines with a large number of traditional shops can be seen standing after crossing the famous Kaminari-mon. The Tokyo Sky tree can be visible from this temple and people enjoy the view from the temple pavilion. The Shinto Shrine Meiji-jingu which is situated here is dedicated to the Emperor Meiji and his wife Empress Shoken. There are many more temples and shrines located throughout Tokyo, but in this paper I would discuss about the ‘Ten Shrines of Tokyo’.
