Tokyo, Japan
The highest rated tourist spot to visit in the capital of Japan is Shinjuku. Shinjuku is a massive, crowded skyscraper district within Tokyo. Although it was originally built back in the 1970s, Shinjuku keeps adding new and bigger towers, and its commuter rail station is the transit system’s busiest, with nearly 2 million passengers a day. Shinjuku has three main components: offices, shopping and nightlife. The shopping consists of a massive amount of department stores, mainly branches of the stores you’ll find in Ginza or elsewhere around the city. At night, many tourists head for Shinjuku’s Park Hyatt, the hotel made famous in the film “Lost in Translation”.
Tokyo’s next most-visited area is the world reknown Ginza neighborhood, a shopping center that’s home to some of the fanciest stores in the world. Rated as one of the top five attractions to visit, Ginza is where you’ll find all the luxury brands from around the world, many in custom-designed boutiques. Shoppers swarm the streets as they wander from high fashion shop to high fashion shop; you’ll also find them stopping for lunch in the department store cafés.
The Tokyo National Museum, established in 1872, is the oldest Japanese national museum, and the largest art museum in Japan. The museum collects, houses, and preserves a comprehensive collection of art works and archaeological objects of Asia, focusing on Japan. The museum holds over 110,000 objects, including 87 Japanese National Treasure holdings and 610 important cultural property holdings. The museum's collections focus on ancient Japanese art and Asian art along the Silk Road. There is also a large collection of Greco-Buddhist art. A great site when visiting the fantastically amazing city of Tokyo!
