Tokyo, the capital city of Japan and the most populated city in the world. It brings up visions of neon lights shining on technology beyond what other parts of the world can only gawk at in amazement. Though these aspects are present, Tokyo is much more than robots and a colorful cityscape. Thanks to ShoreTrips, today’s 60-Second Geography is all about this metropolis that has one foot in the future and one in its past.

Pop Culture in TokyoYou cannot help but notice the contrast between the young and the old in Tokyo. Though not all the those who are members of the older generation are illiterate to the new world of pop culture, and it is true that not every person under the age of 30 is immersed in anime and manga, but the involvement is clear as you walk the streets. Begin this tour with your guide using public transportation, in itself a novelty for those not used to the discipline of this country. You will begin at one of 3 of Tokyo’s centers of youth fashion and pop culture by arriving in Shibuya. This is the main center for youth fashion and culture, whose streets are the birthplace to many of Japan’s fashion and entertainment trends. |
