Amazing city Tokyo
Tokyo Pop Culture: Shibuya, Shinjuku, Harajuku & Omotesando
Most people visit these areas as a group on their first ever visit to Tokyo. These are some of the places to go shopping and get a feel for the city life in Tokyo. And these are all close to each other! The order that you visit depends on what you want to do at what time. However, Harajuku and Omotesando close earlier than Shinjuku and Shibuya, so it should be saved for the middle of the day rather than the end. Our recommendation is to visit Shinjuku first, then Harajuku & Omotesando, and save Shibuya for last at night.
Traditional Tokyo: Ueno, Asakusa, Sky Tree (Ryogoku)
The northeastern side of Tokyo is where the「下町 shitamachi」- the physically lower areas outside of what used to be the Edo Castle (now its ruins are part of the Imperial Palace grounds) - is located. Many merchants lived here, so it’s still an area where you can find old shops, factories and aspects of “traditional and historical Tokyo”.
