Tokyo, Japan is one of those cities that we hope everybody gets to visit at least once in their life. It has so much to offer from the landscape to the city life to the delicious, delicious food. If you are lucky enough to make it over there, here are three experiences you’ll definitely want to try out.

Wandering Around Harajuku

Japan is known for all of its many subcultures and there are many of them on display if you take a walk down the famous Harajuku. Start with Takeshita Street, where many Harajuku girls congregate. It’s a perfect place to wander and people watch.

Going to a Maid or Cat Cafe

If you want to have an experience unlike any other, definitely make a stop at a maid or a cat cafe. At maid cafes, you’ll be treated like royalty as you’re taken through the dining experience, and at cat cafes, you can enjoy the company of some sweet, fluffy kitties.

Visiting a Temple or Shrine

A lot of the Tokyo experience involves lots of busy hustle and bustle. If you want to take things down a notch, relax, breathe, and let your heart rate settle down. You’ll enjoy paying a visit to a working temple or shrine, where you’ll be able to get a brief reprieve from city life.
