I may not have been to other countries yet, but I would say that Tokyo so far is my most favorite city. I've explored Tokyo for two days of my 3-month stay in Japan. It wasn't actually enough but still, I know I've already seen a lot in Tokyo. My uncle's family house is in Setagaya-Ku and since one of the most expensive places to live in Tokyo. But in general, the cost of living in Japan is really expensive, most especially in Tokyo.
Tokyo is the capital city of Japan. It's the hub of the biggest local and multinational companies. Being the center of business, there are really a lot of working people there. I got amazed seeing them cross the streets in huge numbers yet very organized. Besides that, it's also the fashion central. Almost everyone in the streets is a fashionista. You'll be surprised how much they spend on clothes, shoes, and bags. There, everybody can afford branded bags, apparel, shoes, and jewelries. It's also a good place to buy gadgets. Everything's so high-tech and everyone's digitally literate. It is where all my addictions are. Shibuya, Harajuku, Ginza, Akihabara, and Ueno were my favorite places to shop.:)
I wasn't able to go to Disneyland and Disney Sea because we didn't have much time, plus my family used to go there every year without me and I wasn't able to convince them to go there for the Nth time. haha! Well I'm not a fan of amusement parks anyway. Another thing I wasn't able to try was the nightlife (at Roponggi I guess) because I didn't have friends there to hangout with.
Here are some photos I have taken during our trip...
