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

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.
Recommended spots and experiences in Shibuya
- Experience the crowd flow at the Scramble Intersection.
- Taste a lemonade in the new opened store “STREAM”
- Drink a bottle of beer in the nostalgic atmosphere of Nonbei Yokocho
- Take a walk starting from the centre of Shibuya to Yoyogi Park.
