Exciting Tokyo Japan Vacations
Whether your a tourist or are visiting Tokyo on business, your sure to find it
one of the most exciting cities in the world. There is always something
happening in Japan and whatever your interest there is an event for you to
enjoy.
A must see while in Tokyo is the Palace Garden, here you will see
various historic spots associated with the Edo Castle, the beauty of the deep
greens make you forget you are in the midst of the city of Tokyo. The Palace is
surrounded by a moat of rich water. You will be amazed at the spaciousness and
cleanliness. Both are open to the public and admission is free. The Imperial
Palace of Tokyo is located with a peripheral road that is a little over 5 km in
length. Even with detours, it would not be any longer than 7 km, enabling you to
enjoy a very pleasant walk.
Popular sites to see in Tokyo include The
Nijubashi Bridge, which is the symbol of the Imperial Palace. The National
Museum of Art is worth a look. Tokyo Tower, skyscrapers and historic building
will give you an interesting experience.
The night view in Tokyo is
gorgeous from the observation room of the Metropolitan Government Building
located in Shinjuku. It is open until 23:00 to view the city from a height of
202 m and admission is also free. In winter, closely observed, Mt. Fuji can be
often seen, giving a magnificent outlook. Another popular observation room, also
free of charge, is that of the Bunkyo Civic Centre (105 m, 25th floor). It is
kept dark in the room and has inclined windows to prohibit reflections that
could impair the otherwise clear night views.
A stroll in the Nishiki ichiba Market is recommended
while in Tokyo. Although called market, it is more like a shopping mall, where
you can buy anything from seafood sold for restaurants, to grocery items for
ordinary consumers at reasonable prices. One can also dine here in many varying
restaurants. Visitors can choose to snack on the street or dine in shops or
restaurants at relatively low prices. Dining at restaurants or shops allows
visitors to partake of attractive Japanese cuisine and enjoy the atmosphere.
Many shops and restaurants give discounts right before they close each
day.
Casual clothes are fine for sightseeing in Tokyo, but for business,
because so much rests on appearance in Japan, one can never look too good. Warm
clothing is advisable for winters in Tokyo. Although the temperature doesnt fall
much below zero, the wind chill factor can be quite high. Wet weather gear and
boots would be adviseable during the winter as it occasionally snows in
Tokyo.
Japanese style hotels in Tokyo now provide exciting new
experiences. Guests receive kimonos and wooden clogs and rooms come equipped
with Japanese bathtubs and paper sliding doors. Japanese restaurants in Tokyo
are among the best in the entire country. To sum it all up, Tokyo is to Japan as
New York City is to America.
