Five spots in Tokyo recommended for foreigners

The number of foreigners in Japan is really increased, isn’t it? What kind of places do they like to go to?
Today, I would like to present five recommended spots in Tokyo, because it’s been 10 years I live in Tokyo too!

Shibuya: city for young people

渋谷(Shibuya)

I work in Shibuya too, but I feel that it is mainly popular among foreigners.
Once you arrive at Shibuya, first you need to go to the ≪Scramble Intersection≫! As soon as the traffic light turns green, an incredible amount of people you can’t even imagine, cross altogether the intersection.

浅草(Asakusa)

There are many old-fashioned shops and souvenir stores in Asakusa, famous for Kaminarimon Gate. In Asakusa, with just a look to the sky you will be able to admire the 646-meters Tokyo Sky Tree.
