Look for the starship that appears to have landed next to the sumo stadium, and ascend the umbilical escalator into the belly. The next thing you know you're crossing a wooden bridge and a couple of centuries back to old Edo within this fascinating museum that brings the history of Tokyo to life. The displays range from entire city districts with thousands of miniature city-dwellers that you can examine through bincoluars, to a life-size kabuki theatre to be explored. Witness the changes in the life of the city brought on by increased contact with the world outside Japan, and finally by war.

Leave the hectic streets behind and lose yourself in the paths of Aoyama Cemetary. The spiritual atmosphere contrasts with the space-age skyline in the distance. Usually you'll only encounter the local cats, but in spring time jolly drunken parties descend on the cemetery to picnic and take pictures of the cherry blossom (sakura). You can walk back to Omotesando past the gem-like Prada building.
