"Sharrie's Tokyo Encounters" Tokyo by Sharrie

Tokyo Travel Guide: 3,920 reviews and 9,251 photos

TOKYO! Wonderful place to visit: Unique culture & history combining both the old & new world beautifully. A city of contradictions. One has to be there to experience the Japanese way of life & immersed in her many inventions (Sony, Honda, Toshiba, Toyota... sound familiar?). You may even want to visit the Toyota showroom at Ikebukuro; a very high-tech showcase of latest models and processes.

Nikko, another must. Simply graceful!
