Don't get this confused with the Daibutsu (Big Buddha) in Kamakura, Kanagawa. The Tokyo Daibutsu is rather unknown, even to my Japanese friends! It's a few metres shorter than its Kamakura cousin and it's been painted black. The gardens are quaint and quiet and best of all it's free!! Directions: Take the local train on the Tobu-Tojo line from Ikebukuro station to Narimasu station. Take the bus that stops at Tokyo-Daibutsu-dori (you have to ask the bus driver). Walk about 3-5 minutes along Tokyo-Daibutsu-dori (avenue) and you'll see the gates on your left side.

This is a beautiful park in the middle of Meguro Ward, Tokyo. There are bicycle paths and walking paths and maps of the indigenous flora and fauna in the area. You can also relax by the pond! It's a 10-minute bus ride from Meguro station. Just get off at Meguro-Youbin-Kyoku (Meguro Post Office) busstop and cross Meguro-dori (avenue). Walk along the tree-lined street for about 15minutes then turn left before Musashi-Koyama station. You'll also see tiles on the ground written in Japanese that read 'rinshinomori'

Take this nostalgic ride on the only tram line left in Tokyo. It's 160yen on the hour-long ride from Waseda station to Minowabashi station. You'll see a nicer, slower side of Edo.

Off The Beaten Path: Machida 'The Daiso' 100-yen Superstore

If your looking for souvenirs for everybody back home and your just want a one-stop CHEAP shopping place...here it is. It may be a bit far for those of you who are staying in central/downtown Tokyo. But if you're staying or passing through Machida, then I totally recommend going to The Daiso. It's a 5-storey 100-yen shop with everything under the sun. Want chopsticks for your sister who's into sushi? CHECK! Want wacky yummy snacks for your younger brother? CHECK? Want Japanese fans for your mom? CHECK!! You get the point! You'll often bump into US military folk there too. There are a few miitary bases around Machida, by the way. DIRECTIONS: from Shinjuku station take the ODAKYU express to Machida station. It's about 30 minutes. Or from Yokohama take the JR Yokohama line to Machida station.
