When planning your vacation to Japan, you’d be morally remiss to not include spending a day or two in Tokyo in your schedule. Tokyo is one of the word’s largest cities and is the largest city and capital of Japan. Because of the sheer size of the city, it would take years to really experience everything Tokyo has to offer. As a result, it may be difficult to decide on what you want to see and where you’d like to visit while in the city. Take a look at the following list for some great ideas.
- For a stunning view of the city that’s worthy of an entire roll of film in itself, stop by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and take an elevator to the 45th floor. If you’re feeling puckish, stop at the café on the same floor.
- If you’re into fashion, take a trip to the Harajuko region of Tokyo to get a view of some of the newest, hottest, and most bizarre fashions and style obsessions. Sundays prove to be the most interesting day because that is when the teenagers, who are the most fashion-conscious of the Japanese, are out in full force.
- Because fish is the basis of so much of Japanese cuisine, stopping at the Tokyo Fish Market is a must. If you get there early, around 7:30 a.m., you can watch the boats dock and bring in their catch. Along the same vein, if you’re feeling adventurous, give sushi a try. The wide array of sushi dishes are a large part of Japanese cusisine and all are served fresh throughout the day at many restaurants.
