What should I do when I am touring Japan?

Answer by  Hairann (115)

Visit the local shrine and make a wish while ringing the bell. Then go to whichever festival they are currently holding and dress in a traditional kimono. If the local school is holding a festival, that's open to the public, go there. And make sure you try at least one dish you have never heard of.

In Tokyo, for unique nightlife, the Golden Gai area just east of the Shinjuku ward office (kuyakusho). For shopping, Isetan Department Store, nearby in Shinjuku. For the best ｓushi, Matsukan in Azabu Juban, phone 03-3455-4923. For people watching, Harajuku (Omotesando) on Sunday, sit outside at the Anniversaire Cafe. For non-Japanese food, Il Ristorante Bvlgari in Ginza.

It is an absolute must that you go to the ward of Shinjuku in Tokyo at night. There is entertainment at every turn and the lights are spectacular.

You should tour the aqueducts in Kyoto. These were set up by the emperors to carry water through the city. They are very peaceful, quiet, and beautiful.
