Tourist attractions in Tokyo

Tokyo is the capital of Japan. Like other capitals in the world, Tokyo is the most populous city in Japan – even the most crowded. In addition to being a political center, determining international trends in art and culture also takes place in Tokyo.

Let’s look at things that attract the attention of tourists in Tokyo.

Cherry blossoms

Mark your calendar from March to April because various festivals will be held this spring when the city turns pink because the cherry blossoms are in full bloom!

Harajuku

Even someone who has no special interest in Japan might have heard this word. Referring to a region in Japan, Harajuku is where extreme youth culture and fashion styles are. In addition, expect to see lots of funky or kawaii shops and cafes.

Akihabara

Japan and anime, of course, cannot be separated. Tokyo – more specifically, Akihabara – is the center of anime, manga, and electronics. People who consider themselves otaku (fans of anime and diehard manga) should not miss this place!

Kabukicho

Kabukicho is indeed one of the red districts in Japan. But this location is quite popular with tourists, especially fans of anime and manga. Dating handsome hosts in Kabukicho in one night will be a unique and unforgettable vacation experience.
