There was hockey in Japan, we got to know about traditional Japanese cuisine, and now it's time to tell you about the places we managed to visit.
Our journey in Japan began with Tokyo, the largest metropolis on the planet. Ultra-modern skyscrapers next to cozy parks, fashionable shopping streets with ancient temples - all this is simply amazing!
The first thing we visited as part of the excursion program was the Imperial Palace Square. The Imperial Palace with its magnificent gardens is located on the territory of the ancient Tokugawa Ieyasu Castle, in the heart of Tokyo! It is a fascinating place in terms of beauty and energy, with moats full of water and luxurious alleys surrounding it.
Then we went to the Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens Park. It is one of the two oldest parks in Tokyo, preserved from the Edo period. Work on the creation of the garden began in 1629. There is a picturesque pond in the center of the garden, it is simply impossible to take your eyes off its incredible shores, lined with strange stones and lush vegetation.

After visiting the garden, we went to Fukagawa Fudo Temple, a small temple in Tokyo known for its daily rubber burning (fire) rituals, which take place in the main hall of the temple. We managed to see part of the service that takes place in the temple ?
