Japan: Tokyo

Just over two hours north of Kyoto by shinkansen is Tokyo.

What I love about Japan is how Kyoto and Osaka differs from Tokyo. Tokyo is the hub of Japan, 34 million people packed in one exciting city, soaring skyscrapers, maid cafes, fancy dress, and electronics galore.

There’s never a moment where you don’t see crowds of people, Shinjuku…

except maybe at 4am, Asakusa

The buying and selling of frozen tuna begins at 5:20am, Tsukiji fish markets

We head to the streets of Akihabara, filled with electronics, anime, otaku goods and maid cafes

The popular Harajuku

Pitt stop at the yakitori alley, Shinjuku

The magnificent Senso-ji temple, Asakusa

It isn’t all glitz and glamour in Tokyo, with an increasing number of homeless

Let’s give them something to eat
