Tokyo travel blog
Animated" is perhaps the best word to describe Tokyo. Crazy about its anime, Japan's mega city is constantly buzzing with movement feet clacking down sidewalks, cars zooming along streets, subway trains humming below ground, ships cruising in and out. And yet bright lights and loud signs beg you to pause, to break your motion for just one second to pray at the altar of consumerism.This is a city that feeds on motion and progress.The best time to visit Tokyo is between March and April and September and November. Autumn ushers in colorful foliage and comfortable temperatures.Spring brings in much of the same, but instead of vibrant fall hues, the foliage you will see here are cherry blossom trees in full bloom. Summer, on the other hand, is peak tourist season, which you'll quickly see from long lines at museums and confused subways riders.
Culture & Customs
Japanese culture in Tokyo is all about the blend of the old and the new. Centuries-old temples rub elbows with modern skyscrapers and while consumerism runs wild on the streets, citizens are expected to maintain a rigid code of conduct, even in private. Most travelers have probably heard of the Japanese tradition of bowing as a greeting
What to Eat
If you consider Tokyo's large amount of restaurants (more than 160,000) combined with the number of prestigious dining awards the city holds (it boasts the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world), it's easy to see why Tokyo is considered by both chefs and culinary critics to be the foodie capital of the world.

Nakameguro
About 30 minutes for a round trip from the station not busy, but do note the heavier foot traffic during cherry blossom season Lights streets along the Meguro River are all well lit with lamp posts.The streets that line the Meguro River in and around Nakameguro Station are a great place for an evening stroll, especially after dinner at one of the many restaurants in the area. Start your walk from the station (East Exit 1) and head west along the river bank.
Tokyo Station to Hibiya Okuroji via Ginza
About 45 minutes one way. pretty quiet along the streets, but parts of Ginza and Hibiya Okuroji can be a bit busy earlier in the night lights well lit with street lights and storefront displays.The walk from Tokyo Station through Ginza to Hibiya Okuroji is one steeped in history, luxury and, by night, glittering lights. Take the Marunouchi exit from Tokyo Station for a look at the building’s magnificent red brick façade.
