📍 Tokyo – The City That Never Sleeps

Tokyo is a city of contrasts—one moment you’re in the middle of the futuristic Shibuya Crossing, and the next, you’re enjoying the tranquility of Meiji Shrine. Exploring the bustling streets of Akihabara, trying fresh sushi at Tsukiji Outer Market, and shopping in Shinjuku made every day an adventure.

Stepping into Kyoto felt like entering a different era. The golden beauty of Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), the endless torii gates of Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the charming streets of Gion, where I spotted a real geisha, made Kyoto truly special.
