Tokyo Tower: Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.5 meters (1,091 ft), it is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world and the tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations. Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening. Foot Town, a 4-story building located directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from here, guests can visit two observation decks. The 2-story Main Observatory is located at 150 meters (492 ft), while the smaller Special Observatory reaches a height of 250 meters (820 ft). The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2011.

The temple was founded in 1164 and its present structures date from 1266. The main hall, which houses the statues, is with over 100 meters Japan's longest wooden structure. In its center sits one large Kannon, flanked on each side by 500 smaller statues, standing in neat rows side by side, each as tall as a human being. 
Kinkaku-ji Temple (Golden Pavilion): Kinkaku-ji, the “Golden Temple”, is one of Kyoto’s best-known attractions, and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1994. Kinkaku-ji was originally built in 1397 as a villa for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358 – 1408), third Ashikaga Shogun. It was composed of several buildings, including a replica of the imperial palace’s Shishin-den Hall. 11 years after Yoshimitsu’s death, the villa was converted into a Buddhist temple of the Rinzai sect, with Muso Kokushi appointed as abbot, following Yoshimitsu’s will. On 2nd July 1950, a 21 year-old monk, and student at Otani University, set fire to the Kinkaku-ji. The temple was burned to the ground, and the young man arrested. He confessed that he wanted to die in the flames. The story was immortalized by writer Mishima Yukio in his novel “The Temple of the Golden Pavillion”. The temple was entirely reconstructed in its original form in 1955, extending the gold-foil covering to the lower floors as well. 
Kiyomizu Temple: Kiyomizudera (“Pure Water Temple”) is one of the most celebrated temples of Japan. It was founded in 780 and remains associated with the Hosso sect, one of the oldest sects within Japanese Buddhism. In 1994, the temple was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. Kiyomizudera stands in the wooded hills of eastern Kyoto and offers visitors a nice view over the city from its famous wooden terrace. Below the terrace, you can taste the spring water, which gives the temple its name and which is said to have healing power.

PLUTINUM (Club) Nagoya Castle: Nagoya Castle was built in the beginning of the Edo Period for one of the three Tokugawa family branches, the Owari. Consequently, Nagoya developed into an important castle town and ultimately Japan's fourth largest city. The castle was almost completely destroyed in the air raids of 1945. The current ferro-concrete reconstruction dates from 1959. The interior of the castle is now a modern museum displaying the castle's history.
