By Freddy McCandless


Off to Japan for your very next vacation? If you have your eyes set on taking a vacation to Tokyo, then here are some of the top spots that you really should positively not miss. So let's dive right in.

Ginza

One place you must positively make time for is Ginza. But be certain to be there at night when all of the neon signs are on and shining bright. You will come across sign after sign on all of the main intersections. Here, you could enjoy shopping and dining.

Asakusa

Asakusa is in fact the more historical side to the ever techy tokyo. With barely any major changes, this spot looks pretty much just like it did years and years ago. Even with the repairs that have been made over the years, this area will definitely give you a closer look at Japanese heritage. The Sensoji Temple is certainly the highlight. Because of this simple beauty of this Buddhist temple, it is certainly becoming a top tourist hot spot. Nakamise, the shopping street, positively makes this place a must go to. Browse through 200 meters of shop after shop for the very best souvenir. You will also get to take your pick of traditional Japanese street food.

Akihabara

Akihabara is in fact a tech savvy sanctuary. Here you will find what seems to be endless shops of electronic gadgets and goodies. Just a tip before you go shopping crazy, you really should certainly check out the power supply and see if it is compatible with yours back home. There are also a number of Anime shops to choose from. Plus, you will probably be able to find some things that you won't be able to find in other parts of Japan.
