Harajuku Style:
The Harajuku district of Tokyo is prominent for its substitute street fashion. This trendy district is also supposed to show the expressions of the youth of Tokyo. Each of the independently owned shops and cafes have their own feel which creates an exclusive composition.
In the Golden Gai district, about 257 bars are located. Komagata Dozeu is Tokyo's oldest restaurant which was opened in 1801. Tsukiji Market, a popular fish market in Tokyo, sells approximately 5 million pounds of seafood each day. Most of the architecture in Tokyo is newer because of the damage caused by the 1923 earthquake and World War II.
RESPECT THE BELLY:
Ryōgoku District is recognized for its ‘fat men’. This is actually because this district is the home to the Ryōgoku Sumo Hall along with many Sumo academies. Sumo wrestlers are highly cherished in Japanese culture.
RUN, JUMP, SWIM, AND CLIMB:
Tokyo’s Imperial Palace is a major tourist fascination but the vast majority of it is actually closed to the public. Only the members of the Imperial Household Agency are permitted to go inside the other areas. Some special areas are opened for citizens on the Emperor’s birthday and the New Year. If you want to try to get into the restricted areas you will have to swim across the moat and scale a nearly vertical rock wall.
