Best Places to Visit
Tokyo is packed with incredible places to explore, and narrowing down must see was quite challenging. The first place on the list is Shibuya Crossing, known a the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world. It's a symbol of Tokyo's fast paced energy and urban beauty.There's a little bit of everything to do in this vibrant city from fun bars to fashion boutiques. Located within Shibuya is also an official Nintendo for video game lovers and is definitely a crowd favorite.
Another great place to visit is the Senso-Ji Temple which offers a glimpse into the spiritual of many people in Tokyo. It is the oldest and most colorful buddhist temple located in Asakusa. There is a gate you first enter when you get there called Kaminarimon which serves as a symbol of Asakusa and the entire city of Tokyo. There is then a shooping street of over 200 meters called Nakamise that leads to the second gate called Hozomon.
A fun bonus location to visit that brings in a large crowd would be Tokyo Disney. They have two them parks you can choose from, one being Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea. Tokyo Disneyland is closer to the tradition Disney expereince you can get here in the U.S while DisneySea is seen as more immersive and mature. This park is inspire by sea myths and legends and is divided into eight themed "ports of call". Instead of the large Disney castle in the middle, this park has a large volcano called Mount Prometheus at its center.
