Local gems in Tokyo

Beyond Tokyo's busy main attractions, the city holds a quieter layer of places worth seeking out. Aoyama Cemetery offers shaded walks through a historic green space, while Baji Koen, known for its equestrian grounds, draws a very different crowd. The Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum preserves relocated original buildings spanning several eras. The Eisei Bunko Museum holds the private art collection of the Hosokawa clan, and the Ebara Hatakeyama Museum of Art sits within a little-visited garden. Edo Castle and the Edo Tokyo Museum ground visitors in the city's long history, and the CUPNOODLES MUSEUM offers a surprisingly engaging take on everyday culinary invention.
