Tōkyō 東京
For the first-timer, Tōkyō can be totally overwhelming. After all, the Kantō metropolis, with Tōkyō as its base, is the world’s most populous metropolitan area, with some 40 million residents.
Tōkyō is often described as one of the most pulsating, vibrant and exciting cities in the world.
Here’s the best way to make the most of your visit:
My favourite spots are all on the west side of the loop:
- bustling Shinjuku and its Kabukichō entertainment and red light district.
- super-trendy Harajuku and its Takeshita-dōri (street).
- ‘Scramble Crossing’, Hachikō and the youth culture of Shibuya.
