First Torii: Out to the City
- Shinjuku Gyoen: The Estate That Named Shinjuku: Twelve stories around Shinjuku Gyoen's three gardens, in any order, from any gate: an aqueduct's spare water, Japan's first plane and tulip trees, a concrete bridge that looks like wood, and the ponds the whole garden grew around.
- Meiji Jingu: A Forest Built to Outlive Its Builders: From the Yoyogi Gate through Meiji Jingu's planted forest: the North Pond and lawn, the 1921 Treasure House, the west approach, the main hall, the 1920 South Gate, the great torii, the sake and wine barrels and Kuma Kengo's museum, ending inside the Harajuku entrance.
