Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, has a great number of interesting sights available for all tourists. Within Tokyo, there are already tens of prefectures and little towns. The variety offered is mind-boggling, from its people, to the places and things that will catch your attention from day one.
There are four main areas in Tokyo which warrant any visit. From the bright neon lights of Shinjuku, to the high tech bee's nest of Akihabara. One must not forget the fashion hubs of Shibuya and Harajuku, and these places are definitely a favorite with tourists who have been to the country.
Shinjuku is home to the busiest train station in the world. Everyday, literally millions of people pass through the station. It is at the crossroads of a busy city centre that includes both business and commercial centers.
What exactly can you find in Shinjuku? For the hungry, there are hundreds of noodle shops, sushi izakayas, restaurants and many more. Nightlife establishments in Kabukicho are filled from evening till dawn. There are numerous shopping malls too, and the other half of Shinjuku houses many global corporations. The outlying areas include tourist sights such as shrines and the must-visit Gyeon Imperial Gardens.
Shibuya is the hotbed of hip fashion and people in Japan. For the greatest number of beautiful people, this is the place to be. But there are many things to do apart from people watching, such as endless rows of the best shopping strips, with famous middle range restaurants. Shibuya also has the busiest road intersection in the world, right outside its train station.
Harajuku is often considered the fashion cousin of Shibuya. However, it houses aspiring local fashion designers and their own stores. These are complemented by the cafes and Western restaurants that gives the neighborhood a feel of East-West fusion.
A great example of this fusion is that of the cosplayers that have a strong community presence in the area. They are mostly made up of Japanese anime fans, who don colorful costumes that resemble the characters in animation films or manga comics. Cosplayers can mostly be seen on Sunday afternoons on the Harajuku Bridge next to the train station.
Tokyo is known for its high tech gadgets and the world of anime and manga. Akihabara is where fans of all three can get their fill. Whether it is the latest electronic gadgets, new anime toys or manga titles, you can find them all there. Together with the other three areas mentioned above, it is little wonder that Tokyo continues to fascinate and delight tourists who make the trip there. - 16887
