This is how Japan looks like some 300 hundred years ago in the Edo period. Old towns and streets like these were well preserved and attracts lots of tourists domestically and internationally. It is fun to visit and take a stroll down the quiet lane, or enjoying a cup of tea at public tea house, known as Chaya.
Starbucks is huge and popular in Japan, with over a thousand stores. Can you see the tokyo skytree in the background almost hidden by clouds on this rainy day?
As with many other countries, cycling is a popular mode of transport here in Japan. There are no dedicated bicycle lanes, but you will see cyclists whizzing in and out of the pedestrians crowds with great skills.
雲に隠れたスカイツリーも、いいですね＾＾
Yup. Skytree in the cloud is nice!
@jrvacation Riding bicycles in Japan is an enjoyment for sure :)
Good mode of transport to explore bigger parks. No need to walk so much. :)
one of the places i like to go for an 'old feel' is Kawagoe, and can enjoy a nice sweet potato and sweet potato ice cream while strolling around
