One can lounge in the outdoor cafes sipping coffee, while enjoying a nice stroll along streets lined with unique independent fashion boutiques. The ancient culture of Japan can be found a stone’s throw away at the Meiji Shrine, where one can join thousands others in praying for divine blessings.

Harajuku is also home to the best of Japanese cosplayers, where they dress up as their favorite anime characters. These cosplayers gather on the Harajuku Bridge on Sundays, although many of them will make appearances on other days too. It is a sub-culture of Japan and one that they take pride in.

Akihabara is another famous section within Tokyo. It is the home to millions of otakus, who are named thus to represent their fascination with manga, anime and electronic gadgets and toys.
