Tokyo Itinerary|One Day Tour to Gotoku-ji Temple and Shibuya

#TokyoItinerary 🌟Go to Gotokuji Temple in the morning🌟 This ancient Buddhist holy place, founded in 1677, is famous for its unique lucky cat culture. As you enter the temple, thousands of pure white lucky cats seem to be waving to you, showing the meaning of good luck and wealth with their cute postures. According to statistics, there are currently more than one thousand lucky cats in the temple, and this is the birthplace of lucky cats. It is worth mentioning that the lucky cat usually raises its right hand, which means praying for blessings; while the fortune cat raises its left hand, which means attracting wealth. 📍Address: 2-24-7 Gotokuji, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 🚇 Public transportation: Tokyu Setagaya Line at Miyanosaka Station, about 8 minutes walk 🕒Opening hours: 6:00-18:00, Temple Office: 9:00-16:30 🎫Tickets: Free After that, take the Tokyu Setagaya Line to Sangenjaya Station, and then transfer to the Tokyu Denentoshi Line. The entire journey takes about 30 minutes to reach the bustling Shibuya. Enjoy lunch or afternoon tea in Shibuya. 🌟Check in at the classic "Shibuya Crossing"🌟 This is an iconic landmark in Tokyo, frequently appearing in movies, TV shows and the media. During peak hours, more than a thousand people pass through the stadium every two minutes, and the flow of people is as dense as that of a football stadium. Pedestrians from all directions gathered here, and a "big fight" took place on the road. 📍Address: 2-2-1 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, in front of Shibuya Station Hachiko Exit 🚇 Public transportation: 1 minute walk from Shibuya Station 🌟Cherry blossoms in Shibuya Sanchome🌟 If it is cherry blossom season, remember to walk 9 minutes to see the cherry blossoms on Meiji-dori in Shibuya Sanchome. On both sides of the road, pink cherry blossoms bloomed like clouds, forming a spectacular sea of ​​flowers. These two rows of gorgeous flower trees are extremely eye-catching, attracting countless tourists who come here to seek the most beautiful scenery of this season. There was even a long queue of people on the overpass waiting to take photos. Simply search "MP44+H2, Shibuya City, Tokyo, Japan" on Google Map to find the exact location. 🌟Watch the sunset from Shibuya Sky Observatory🌟 Needless to say, Shibuya Sky Observatory is definitely one of the new popular attractions in Tokyo in recent years. The observation deck is located in Shibuya Scramble Square, directly above Shibuya Station. Shibuya Scramble Square is a new complex shopping mall built in 2019. The observatory allows you to overlook the beautiful scenery of Tokyo from a height of 229 meters with a 360-degree view. Tickets go on sale a month in advance, and sunset tickets are very popular and often sell out quickly. If you are lucky and the weather is clear or there are clouds, the sunset view will be stunning. ⚠️Backpacks and personal items that are easily blown away by the wind must be stored. The lockers are free to use, but you need to bring a 100 yen coin to lock them. 📍Address: 2-24-12 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 🚇Public transportation: Above the "Shibuya" station 🕒Business hours: 10:00~22:30 (latest entry 21:20) 🎫Tickets: 2200 yen if purchased online, 2500 yen if purchased on site
