Le sanctuaire Hie (Hie Jinja) est un sanctuaire shintoïste situé dans l'arrondissement de Chiyoda à Tokyo. Le festival Sannō Matsuri du 15 juin est l'un des trois grands festivals japonais d'Edo (le précurseur de Tokyo). À l'époque d'Edo, la procession se composait de 45 chars, accompagnée de chanteurs et de danseurs et était considérée comme l'un des meilleurs festivals de Tokyo. De nos jours, le festival se déroule à une plus petite échelle, mais cela vaut toujours la peine d'être vu.
Le divinité principale du sanctuaire est Ōyamakui-no-kami, le dieu du mont Hie dans la préfecture de Shiga. Cette divinité est également connue sous le nom de Hie-no-kami, d'où le sanctuaire Hie tire son nom.
Le shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa a commencé à diriger le Japon depuis le château d'Edo. Il a été nommé le saint patron du sanctuaire Hie et a vénéré la divinité en tant que protecteur d'Edo.

If you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, there's one Tokyo restaurant that absolutely deserves a spot on your bucket list. While you may not know it by its real name, chances are you've seen it on screen—it’s the unforgettable setting for the iconic, over-the-top showdown between The Bride and the Crazy 88. Known affectionately by fans as “The Kill Bill Restaurant,” this venue offers more than just cinematic nostalgia—it's a vibrant and unique dining experience in its own right. Located in Tokyo’s upscale Nishi-Azabu district, this classic-style izakaya bar is where fiction meets flavor. Though the fake blood and samurai swords have long been cleaned away, the spirit of the film lives on in the architecture and atmosphere. Stepping inside feels like walking onto the set: a grand, high-ceilinged hall with a central open-plan dining space, surrounded by a mezzanine-level balcony—instantly recognizable to anyone who’s watched the movie. But don’t mistake it for just a movie-themed attraction. The Kill Bill restaurant is a serious culinary destination. It offers a wide variety of traditional Japanese dishes, from sashimi and grilled skewers to noodle dishes and seasonal specialties. The menu also boasts creative fusion items like avocado and camembert tempura, which nods to the restaurant’s global popularity and mindset. And for international travelers with specific dietary needs, the restaurant provides vegan and halal-friendly menus (with at least three days’ notice). What makes this spot truly special is its ability to deliver a top-tier gourmet experience while doubling as a pop culture pilgrimage. You can sip sake where Uma Thurman once sliced through waves of enemies—minus the chaos, of course. Whether you’re a die-hard Tarantino fan, a foodie on the hunt for authentic Japanese flavors, or simply someone looking for a unique night out in Tokyo, this restaurant checks every box. Just one tip: Enjoy the drinks and dishes, but leave the swordplay to the professionals. Note: As you’d expect, Gonpachi is a popular restaurant. Same-day reservations are possible, but ideally you’ll want to reserve your table at least two days ahead of your visit, and even earlier if you’re planning to visit at the weekend.

La Diète du Japon (japonais Kokkai Gijido) est situé dans le quartier de Chiyoda au centre de Tokyo et est le lieu où les deux chambres de la Diète se rencontrent. Les sessions de la Chambre des représentants ont lieu à gauche, tandis que la Chambre des conseillers se réunit à droite. Les deux ailes ne peuvent être vues que sur réservation préalable et dans le cadre d'une visite guidée. Le Kokkai Gijido a été construit entre 1920 et 1936 après l'annonce d'un concours national pour le design extérieur. La conception du gagnant, Fukuzo Watanabe, a été à peu près respectée, mais sans le dôme initialement prévu par lui. Il est intéressant de noter que le bâtiment de la Diète est construit à partir de matériaux fabriqués au Japon, sauf pour les vitraux, serrures de porte, et le système de tube pneumatique.

When it is not officially used, the palace and its grounds are open to the public, making it a must see for tourists and residents alike. Its stately western architecture, with Japanese grounds primarily designed to create a more authentic Japanese ambience for state dignitaries, creates an incredibly impressive backdrop, and the interior of the palace offers sheer opulence and pomp.
