Tokyo (Japan)

Major attractions in Tokyo:

Imperial Palace :The Japanese emperor and the imperial family still call the Imperial Palace home, so unless you get a royal invite to tea tourists are restricted to the outskirts and the gardens. New Year's Day (2 January) and 23 December (the Emperor's birthday) are the only exceptions to this rule.

Shinjuku （新宿）:The Shinjuku district is, without doubt, the most vigorous part of Tokyo; two million people per day pass through Shinjuku station alone. The two sides - east and west - sit side-by-side in mutual harmony; west Shinjuku is the staid commercial hub of the city, while the east is its colourful and exotic （异国情调的；奇特的）counterpart. The west is planned, administrative and skyscrapped, while the east side is rambling （杂乱的）, chaotic and full of fast-food shops and pawn shops.
