Tokyo Vacations, Tokyo Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

Tokyo is a culture unto itself in an already unique culture. This capital city of Japan (also the largest city in the world) easily evokes the classic Anime and Manga images that are familiar in the west. The city is dense, modern, and hi-tech, with an astoundingly well coordinated subway system, vending machines selling all varieties of hot and cold foods (and many other items including beer and sake), and drunken Japanese businessmen stumbling out of the bar at 7am to head out to work.

Visitors to Tokyo will have a hard time finding the traditional culture of Japan. Instead, take time to view the modern technological marvels in the Akihabara district (also known as Akihabara Electric Town) or see the modern Japanese youth trying desperately to break free of the strict cultural rules by dressing in costumes and hanging out in the Harajuku district.

The most quintessential Tokyo neighborhoods include: Shibuya, which serves as the city's capital of cool. Ginza is famous for luxury living. Shinjuku, which is home to all the crowds, neon, and shopping.

For night life head out to Roppongi district. Many nightclubs are for Japanese only and foreigners may not be allowed. The night view of the city from the Roppongi Hills observatory is a stunning way to start the night. A visit to Odaiba across the Rainbow Bridge will give you an alternative, and you can always check out Tokyo Tower for great views.
