Harajuku and Meiji Jingu
by Wind10
Harajuku is an interesting place. My Jap friend told me it is a place mainly gather "Inaka mon" (people from small villages).
However, there is a quiet and holely area just next to Harajuku station - Meiji Jingu. Tokyo is an exciting city. Combination of East and West, traditional and modern.
Besides, the complex railway network and the crowd also as one of the symbol of the city.
Tokyo Tip

Cell Phones !!!!! a necessity of Japanese people. You always find a minimum of 2 mobile phones with every person you meet. These phones designed for use in Japan only, comes at a very attractive price. You have streets selling cell phones on road. Dont be surprised if u see someone distributing Cell phones for free on the street.
Meiji Jingu

I pay a visit this shrine once a year with my wife since I got married.
It has a huge precinct with woods and the long approach to the main shrine. You will forget you are in the center of Tokyo in the walk through the approach.
Shinjuku
by vigi
Shinjuku is the ultimate modern Tokyo experience. It has everything... skycrapers, department stores, red-light district, bars, clubs, Shinto shrine, restaurants... as many variety as you can imagine.
There is a vending machine for everything!
by Bunsch
The Japanese are mad about vending machines; there is one for every 12 residents, in fact. Like people elsewhere, they enjoy obtaining water, soft drinks, coffee and cigarettes simply by inserting coins into the appropriate machine. But how about ties? CDs? Books? Used ladies' underwear? All of that and more is on offer in the ubiquitous machines. Stop and take a look at the variety of merchandise.
