Fun In Tokyo
Weekends in Japan are something to look forward to... well, it is for me anyway because it’s a chance for me to go into Tokyo. Central Tokyo is great both during the day and at night because it is where everybody goes to have fun.
During the day there are many shops to go to and you can find pretty much anything you want. There are many private shops which well interesting toys or rare collectibles, and there are also many nice brand-name shops for people who are looking for nice clothes or accessories.
Tokyo is also a place where many interesting people come to, like the cos-players. These are people who dress like manga or anime characters and hang out in very trendy areas like Harajuku. For them, dressed-up is their “normal” clothing style.
Tokyo at night is even better because it has all the things you can do during the day, plus it has all of the flashing lights. When you have nothing to do, watching the lights is a good way to make time go by while you can relax and just think of something nice. The one different thing about the night maybe is that most of the people normally at work or in school during the day are also out, so you can meet more Japanese and foreign people who are also looking to make new friends.
