Your digital welcome booklet in Tokyo

Welcome to Tokyo the river gate

Tokyo is the largest city in the world. Impressive by its size, its technology and the number of inhabitants per square meter, it will not leave you indifferent. A total change of scenery guaranteed.

A citywith many facets

Between modernity and tradition, Tokyo knows how to maintain the charm and attraction of its walls. Numerous districts are side by side without looking the same. You can go from a hyper modern district with its buildings and screens to a district with traditional houses and temples.

This is what makes the magic of this city.

Walking around in the neighborhoods

Shibuya is one of the liveliest districts of the capital. It is in its center that is located the famous crossroads often compared to Time Square. On the other hand, Asakusa is one of the oldest and most traditional districts of the city. You will be able to come and contemplate the Senso-ji temple which is the biggest and oldest in Tokyo.

These two districts are a must-see because of their differences. Many other districts exist and are also to be discovered. The most important thing when you come to Tokyo is to think about an itinerary because unfortunately the city is so big that you will not be able to see everything in one time.

Don't missthe must-sees

As a must-see also you can discover the Tokyo Tower. Their equivalent (in bigger) of our Eiffel Tower. The view from the top is very nice. You can admire all Tokyo but also Mount Fuji. And the gardens of the imperial palace. Only a small part of the gardens is open to the public.

It is a real place of calm and serenity in the middle of this gigantic megalopolis. It is really impressive to see how carefully they are maintained, do not miss it. The royal palace is only open a few days a year like the rest of the gardens.

However, be prepared for a very long wait as many Japanese people look forward to these dates as well. Take the time to discover the Ghibli Museum. It is out of the way and the places go very fast so don’t hesitate to plan it in advance. No improvisation for this place.

Manga, Cosplayvideo game

Japan is also the stereotypical country of video games, manga and anime and for good reason, an entire district is dedicated to this universe! The district of Akihabara is the paradise of the fans of this universe! We don’t use the word geek to not offend anyone 😉.

Take the opportunity to go there on Saturday, although very lively the street is pedestrian so much more accessible. The really cool experience of this area is to play arcade games and then go for a drink in a Cosplay cafe and discover a whole new world.

Visit theTeamLab Bordeless exhibition

If you have the opportunity, come and visit TeamLab Borderless. It’s a completely digital exhibition that represents the progress of Japanese technology. It’s a total immersion in colors and shapes. Really cool to do with kids.

Discover the localgastronomy

Finally let’s talk about gastronomy to conclude this article. The Ginza district is another very lively district of Tokyo. You will find there many stores and restaurants of all cultures.

Of course you should definitely try the street food stands in the markets. This is where you will get a real taste of the local food. Don’t miss the famous fish market in Tsujiki. You can taste the fish from these stalls in the small restaurants around.

Tokyo is another world, another culture, a real discovery. Whether you go there for 3 days or for a whole week, you will be amazed.

We hope that this article has given you the desire to discover the city in your turn. Don’t forget, your booklet is your best asset to highlight the places you, you prefer 😊.
