Tokyo is amazing! For a city so large with so many people (38 million), it’s so quiet. No car horns, no yelling, no cell phones ringing obnoxious ring tones. Cell phones are always silenced and people only take calls at the end of the train car.
We’ve walked everywhere – the electronics district in Akihabara, shopping in Ginza, the gardens at the Imperial Palace. As always, we ended up in the red light district in Shinjuku. It wasn’t seedy or scary – just lots to look at. I really liked the strange fashion choices in Harajuku and Shibuya’s massive intersection and Tower Records.
We went to the Sumo Tournament in Ryogoku and a Pride mixed martial arts tournament in Saitama.
