ATTRACTIONS

                    For decades, Tokyo was mainly visited by businessmen and women connected with Japan's booming electronics and car manufacturing industries. Today, more and more people are coming to this huge and exciting megalopolis in order to enjoy its vast array of attractions and experience a little of the almost "other-worldly" culture that Japan offers visitors from overseas. Tokyo's infinite charms include temples, palaces and gorgeous, intricate gardens, as well as a nightlife second to none. As for shopping, Tokyo is famous all over the world for its wide variety of shops and stores. Visitors in spring can enjoy the special bonus of seeing the fabulous cherry blossoms that attract vast crowds to the city parks. But, a trip to Tokyo, at any time, is guaranteed to be a profoundly interesting and enjoyable experience.

Following is a list of some of the places one must visit:
