See Shinjuku, the bright lights, its so futuristic, its unbelievable!!! all the shops, and the electronic shops are filled to the brim in latest state of the art goods
Imperial Palace is excellent, walking through the Park area, but u cant go in!! u can only see it!! My best memory has to be meeting a person from San Fran in the hostel and going to a japanese restaraunt down a sidestreet in lidabashi, nothing was in english, and i was using my quidebook to help order the food. And of course we met some locals who had a little bit to drink, but when they get drunk they dont get violent so this is no concern. In fact the japanese open up out of their shyness and are really funny when they are drunk
Shibuya-Shops
by Wind10
When you are in Shibuya, don't just only look at the fashion on the street but also the interior design of the shops.
The photo is one of the attractive shop to me in Shibuya. The shop is selling Chinese "Pao" "Dian Xing". The colour, the smoke from the roof really make me want to try their food.
Tokyo Tip
by Krystynn
No, this is not Paris. This is the City of Tokyo at nightfall which I've managed to capture on film. It looks magical eh?
Can you spot the famous Tokyo Tower (the Eiffel Tower like monument) and the Zojo-ji Temple in the distance??
Tipping
by sacrebleu
There is no need to tip in Japan. They are proud of their good service and think it's an insult if you tip them. Only a few restaurants would include a service charge in the bill but most don't. Isn't Japan great?
Sticky rice
by angelochka
Rice is consummed in Japan for more than 2000 years. Even the word used for "rice" means also "meal". Well..everyone is familiar with rice, the only difference in Japan it's quite sticky, but from the other hand it's easier to pick it up with chopsticks. Please never pour soy sauce into the rice, it's not japanese tradition, it's chinese. Also when you eat sushi, better before dumping it into soy sauce turn it upside down, that keeps the rice from crumbling.
