Visit the National Diet Building: A Symbol of History and Politics in Tokyo
The National Diet Building is a landmark that everyone has seen on TV at least once. However, seeing it in person can be quite moving.
The building features a modest exterior inspired by German architectural styles. Most people know that this is where political activities take place.
During a tour of the National Diet Building, you can visit the main chamber where debates occur, the beautifully decorated central hall, and enjoy the impressive views from the central tower, which give you a sense of the building's grand scale.
Guided tours are available, offering a great opportunity to understand the workings of the Diet and the flow of parliamentary proceedings.
It's a highly recommended experience where you can feel the political atmosphere firsthand.
