Stroll along the world\u2019s famous Ginza to shop for the latest trends and high-end brands. There is also a wide-range of shopping malls and cafes for you to enjoy. You can find vintage kimonos, Natsuno\u2019s 2,500+ chopstick designs and comic books for both adults and children. Last but not least, make sure you try an anpan, a bun stuffed with sweet red-bean paste.<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.2″][et_pb_fullwidth_slider _builder_version=”3.21.4″ background_image=”https:\/\/thebetterjourney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Tokyo-05.jpeg” parallax=”on”][et_pb_slide use_text_overlay=”on” text_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.54)” _builder_version=”3.21.2″]

Visit Harajuku on a Sunday to witness the parade of Japanese street fashion.

You will never be disappointed with the food in Tokyo. Make sure you try the fresh sushi and sashimi from the fish market, shabu-shabu and yakitori.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roppongi\u2019s and Shinjuku\u2019s nightlife is filled with an abundance of animated, flashing neon lights and lively music.

You should also consider walking around Shinjuku during the day to experience one of the busiest intersections of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tokyo has many temples to visit but I believe the Sensoji Temple, founded in 645 AD, is most noteworthy. Entering the impressive Kaminarimon Gate, you\u2019ll find the inspiring complex of halls which was rebuilt after the World War II.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wander through the greenery of 100,000 trees at Meiji Shrine, planted to commemorate Emperor Meiji and his wife. You may also choose to write a Kiganbun, a letter to the deities where you can express your wishes or words of gratitude and hang them on the trees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attend a sumo tournament at the Ryogoku Kokugikan, the national sumo stadium. If time allows, you should also visit their training camp or even try out the chanko nabe, a sumo\u2019s protein lunch.<\/strong><\/p>\n
