Harajuku, Shibuya, Asakusa and Roppongi.

We had a Tokyo one day tour with cute ladies from Mexico.

 

Harajuku 

Harajuku is a very attractive town for young because there are many fashion boutiques and cafe. We looked at many shops such as CS T&P, sevens, Laforet, and Kiddy Land.We walked Takeshita-Dori street, Omotesando street and Cat street to Shibuya.

Shibuya

The view of Shibuya scramble crossing is amazing. We walked the crossing twice.Then we went to a building where we can look down the crossing. Next, we explored "Depa-Chika". It literally means the underground of a department store. In Japan, most of the department stores have food stores on the underground floor. There are a variety of local foods. It's very interesting! It is called as "FoodShow" in Shibuya. After that, we visited famous Hachiko dog statue.

Asakusa

We moved from Shibuya to Asakusa by subway.

First, we enjoyed the view of the Tokyo SkyTree tower and the Sumidagawa river. Then, we visited Kaminari-mon (Thunder Gate), Nakamise shopping street, Denbo-in street and Sensoji temple.Asakusa is one of the best destinations for tourists. We found traditional Tokyo there. We had lunch at the Ippudo Ramen restaurant in Asakusa. Ramen is a noodle dish served with soup. Ippudo Ramen is one of my best recommendations.  One of our guests was so impressed that she ordered additional noodle. It's very delicious!

Roppongi

After traditional Asakusa, we moved to modern Roppongi. We explored Roppongi Hills. It's a big commercial complex, which includes many shops, restaurants, movie theaters, a museum, an observatory deck and a TV broadcasting company. Also, there is a Japanese style garden "Mohri Garden". At the end of a long day tour, we enjoyed Roppongi night life at the dance club "Jumanji".
