*Japan is a unique place, where tradition and modernity are part of one country and Tokyo is one of the many examples of it.
*If you are short in time to see the best of Tokyo, I would recommend you to visit the most importants places:
-
To visit Imperial Palace you’ll need to register in advance but worth it for a close-up view of a fragment of this vast compound that has been home to the emperor and his family for nearly 150 years;
-
Tokyo National Museum is famous for the world’s largest collection of Japanese art;
-
Ueno Park is known for its zoo, pagoda and bridges views;
-
Senso-ji is Tokyo’s most beautiful Buddhist temple;
-
Tokyo Skytree is a must-see for the bird’s-eye view over Sumida River;
-
Kabuki-za Theater is a unique place for Japanese dramatic play arts;
-
Meiji Shrine, the city’s main Shinto shrine.
-
On the shopping street Takeshita-dori you’ill be able to check out Japanese fashion and trends;
-
Oriental Bazaar, a perfect place for souvenirs.
- Still, try to save some time for casual exploring, since Tokyo’s neon dazzle and buzzing energy are
attractions in themselves.
Enjoy your time in this marvelous city!
