Tokyo Tokyo is the capital of Japan and huge city. I think Tokyo has some different character. it's chaos. If you are interested in traditional Japan culture, I recommend you to go to around Asakusa because you can go to Sensou temple and look around shopping street in the precinct of the temple. and also you can eat monjayaki and loach hot pot. To be honest, I haven't eaten loach hot pot. If you have a curious about Otaku culture such as anime or manga, you have to go to Akihabara. I think it is not needed to explain. If you are interested in Japanese's sub culture, I think you would like Harajyuku, Shimokitazawa and Kichijyoji. You can enjoy shopping at a variety of vintage clothing stores. If you are sophisticated, you will like going to Daikanyama and Nakameguro. There are a lots of stylish and modish cafes,restaurants and shops. If you want to enjoy night life, Ginza, Roppongi, Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro will amuse you 24 hours with anything you want. For example, you can even watch Tokyo's night view from a helicopter.
