tokyo is an exciting place to visit. any city which has been reproduced prodigiously in movies or books can feel unreal to visit. it feels especially nostalgic of the early 2000s in harajuku (the fashion district) and akihabara (an electric town which sells anime and gaming paraphernalia). although these two districts are incredibly iconic, as someone that doesn’t consume anime or lolita/victorian/quirky fashion, they did not make it to my top 5.
still worth a visit for anyone interested in fashion
here are my favourite things to do when visiting the japanese capital.
the alternative would be tokyo sky tree which is in fact higher, but come-on, tokyo tower is just so iconic.
visit the temple for a blessing or wander the streets around the temple for orange street and the neighbourhood asakusa
scai houses contemporary art and the space itself is charming.
the gardens are especially buzzing during cherry blossom season but if you’re visiting in winter, the greenhouse will save you from the cold.
