Konichiwa! Is anyone going to Tokyo? I was there few months ago
and now I am am missing Japan. Tokyo is fascinating and has everything you can ask for a city; a never
ending entertainment and nightlife scene and an extremely vibrant and
trendsetting fashion world. The city is bustling and never sleeps you can walk
around the trendiest shops at Harajuku fashion district for some hard to find
vintage Chanel and designer street style brand Ground Y by Yohji Yamamoto or be
adventurous enough to try and doll-up with Dolly Kei fashion style.
Visit the high-end district of Ginza for some gourmet Japanese
delicacies at the Michelin starred restaurant, Tagetsu or be enthralled with
the original Japanese art cuisine of Hinokizaka at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Across the walls of Asakusa’s Senso-ji Temple and through the streets of Roppongi,
be able to appreciate the region’s rich coexistence of traditional and modern
culture. Here are some quick guides when you are in Tokyo:-
