Azabu-Jūban Onsen
Helpful English signage hints that this onsen (hot spring) has experience with foreigners - a great thing, as the dark, tea-coloured water is scalding hot, and there's a lovely rotemburo (outdoor bath) it would be a shame to miss out on. Downstairs there's a less expensive, more bare-bones sentō (public bath). The nondescript building is on the corner of Kurayami-zaka and Azabu-Jūban-dōri.

Shizen Kyōiku-En (Institute For Nature Study)

Since 1949, this garden has been part of the Kokuritsu Kagaku Hakubutsukan, and aims to preserve the local flora in undisciplined profusion. Bonus: admission is limited to 300 people at a time.
