5 Best Day Trips from Tokyo | Condé Nast Traveler

"This Shinto shrine is famous for its carvings of the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil monkeys. In spite of the crowds—and it's always crowded—a sense of tranquility pervades this spiritual site. Maybe it's the breathtaking craftsmanship, or huge old growth trees, or something more intangible. Even if you don't think you're really into history or spiritual stuff, you're going to be blown away. Around the New Year it's extra crowded with people praying for good fortune." - Brandon Presser
