All inclusive trip to japan
Any reason is a good one to travel to Tokyo all inclusive; Due to its incredible culture, its lively nightlife, to taste its exotic gastronomy, to live with 35 million people or to go shopping, without a doubt, it is one of the most appropriate cities to do so.
To start the trip you can start in the center, passing by the Tokyo Imperial Palace, which is the official imperial residence. If you go during the cherry blossom season, you cannot miss the walk through the Chidorigafuchi Moat, it is one of the most beautiful places where you can see the cherry trees.
You will marvel at the restored Tokyo Station, you have to board it to feel the bustle of the city and the underground cities that you can find there. You can buy some kawaii dolls or accessories in Tokyo Character Street, an area dedicated to television merchandising shops and characters and cartoons under Tokyo station.
Imagine having ramen noodles for breakfast in one of the restaurants open in the morning on Tokyo Ramen Street, an area dedicated to specialized ramen restaurants under Tokyo Station, and later admiring the architecture of the Tokyo International Forum.
For nothing in the world you can miss visiting the Tsukiji fish market, although you can also try sushi in any of the alleys that are there.
Since Tokyo is a very visual city, do not hesitate to take a walk through the Hama Rikyu Gardens, a bubble of peace in the heart of Tokyo. You have to visit the Shiodome and Shinbashi area, full of overpasses, multi-level terraces and many skyscrapers, as well as the clock designed by Miyazaki.
The most cosmopolitan neighborhoods in the city are Shinjuku and Shibuya with their neon lights, “fashionable” people and 24-hour atmosphere. Its streets are the spitting image of the modernity that we all have in mind when thinking about Tokyo.
Shinjuku’s electronics stores try to overshadow those of Akihabara, but the prices of large stores are closer to European prices than those of the small stores in the technology district.
In the west there is a neighborhood called Nishi-shinjuku, that is where the tallest skyscrapers in Tokyo are located. It is worth taking a walk through this area, going up to the viewpoints of the Metropolitan Government Building and, if your budget allows it, having a coffee in the New York Bar of the Park Hyatt Tokyo hotel, a place of worship since it was the setting chosen for shooting the film Lost in Translation.
Tokyo Kitchen
One of the main attractions of Tokyo, in fact of the whole country, is the gastronomy. The local cuisine of this developed city was consolidated over a period of about 400 years during the prosperous Edo period in the years 1603-1867. On your trip to Japan you will be able to experience some of the most delicious dishes and local specialties from the 23 wards of Tokyo.
Next, I present some of the typical dishes of this city, take note!
Monjayaki: Monjayaki is made from a flour-based dough to which shredded cabbage and other ingredients are added, which is cooked on a hot griddle. The approximately 60 restaurants that line Tsukishima Monja Street serve all kinds of monjayaki, from meat and seafood to ethnic-style. The most interesting thing is that whatever you wanted you can cook it yourself.
Soba: Initially established as a popular everyday dish in the mid-Edo period, it became one of Tokyo’s main specialties. It’s also one of the few dishes for which slurping is perfectly acceptable, due to the belief that sucking in air enhances the aroma of these buckwheat noodles.
Fukagawa-meshi: Fukagawa-meshi is a bowl of rice topped with a miso-based stew of Japanese clam and chopped leek. The dish was created as a type of fast food for the industrious fishermen who worked in the Fukagawa area near the mouth of the Sumida-gawa River, where clam-harvesting boomed during the Edo period.
Chanko-nabe:
It is a hearty dish made with meat and seasonal vegetables and is a staple for sumo wrestlers, although each has their own recipe).
Sushi: who has not tried sushi? This dish is one of the most famous in Japanese cuisine and what better place than Tokyo to try the different types of sushi. We can find everything from nigri-zushi, vinegared rice that is covered with pieces of fish with seasoned vegetables or covered with shellfish and egg.
Dojo-nabe: It is a type of dish that is prepared in a shallow casserole with dojo slices, which is a type of fish that is cooked with broth with red sauce and minced pork, or it can also be served with egg. This typical dish of Japanese food has also been served since the Edo period.
