Japan Travel Tips

Today's theme is strolling around Tokyo, and the first stop is Odaiba near the hotel. The Odaiba area is like our Cloverleaf area in Shanghai, with the Tokyo International Exhibition Center located here. The most famous attractions are the Statue of Liberty and the "Golden Gate Bridge". When you walk near the Statue of Liberty and see the bridge behind it, you really feel like you've traveled to the United States! Behind the Statue of Liberty is the Fuji TV station, where many classic Japanese dramas were filmed, such as the most classic drama of our generation, 'Tokyo Love Story'. Gazing at the TV station from a distance, the smile of Rika appears in your mind. Of course, there's also the handsome Kimura's 'Long Vacation'. If life is not treating you well, think of it as a long vacation given by heaven! After visiting Odaiba, I highly recommend taking the Seagull Line directly to Ginza. The front of the Seagull Line train is completely transparent, and my daughter sat in the front row, experiencing the feeling of being a driver. The Seagull Line is actually a sightseeing route that offers a full view of the scenery on both sides of Tokyo Bay, with the Tokyo Tower and the Skytree sometimes right in front of the train. Ride the Seagull Line to the end, and you'll be within walking distance to Ginza. Ginza has now turned into a pedestrian street on weekends, reminiscent of Nanjing Road. After visiting several big-name stores, the popular items were all out of stock, so I advise everyone not to waste time looking for stores. After Ginza, we arrived at Shibuya, the hottest area in Tokyo right now. As soon as you come out of the subway station, you can feel that the flow of people is much higher than in Ginza. Tokyo's busiest intersection is right here, and from above, it looks a bit like the intersection of Huaihai Middle Road and Huangpi Road in Shanghai. We mainly came to Shibuya to check in at Tokyo's number one internet-famous spot, Shibuya Sky. Climbing to the top of Shibuya's tallest building, you can overlook the entire Tokyo and see Mount Fuji in the distance. It turns out to be just a helipad on the 45th floor, completely open-air. The tickets for the evening are hard to get; I booked half a month in advance and only got tickets for 16:00. I had to bite the bullet and wait for the dark. Fortunately, the weather was decent, but the clouds were thick, and Mount Fuji was only a silhouette in the distance. The expected sunset was also a letdown. However, when the lights of Tokyo came on, illuminating the entire city, I felt the wait was worth it. The lights of Tokyo are mainly white, with some red accents, giving it a sense of luxury! After the visit, we had some delicious food and then headed back home!
