Before leaving for Japan, I did an immense amount of research on things to see, places to go and, <i>best of all</i>, where to eat! You hear so much about sushi and ramen that you’re eyes are trained to search them out when walking around the city. But for me, the most surprising dish that we tried over and over was Japanese style curry!
The outer market is where you’ll find over 400 retails shops, grocers and small restaurants, crowded into only a few narrow alleys around the giant fish market.
Shibuya crossing might be one of the most iconic images of Tokyo. From the onset, one might think it’s just a simple intersection, but upon waiting for the red light, things become all the more clear. Traffic stops from all directions, turning the street into a pedestrian, all-way crossing. Suddenly a surge of people starts flowing from each direction, like fish swimming upstream and down. They call this the “scramble”. Shoppers, students, couples, tourists and commuters all rush in all directions.
