REVISIT & REFLECT: City Research JAPAN

Shibuya Crossing

I think that the most interesting place to live in would be Tokyo. Tokyo is one of the most technologically advanced cities in the world. While the city is now a technological haven the city still retains most of its cultural and historical background. The city has 23 different city wards. The asakusa district is the city's cultural center. That part of the city contains the Sensoji Temple one of the oldest Buddhist temples in the Tokyo. The Asakusa district also is one of the greenest parts of Tokyo with many gardens. In the Shibuya district you can see the more modern and up-to-date part of Tokyo. It looks like as if the Japanese modeled Shibuya after Manhattan and Times Square. There is only one major downside to living in Tokyo. The downside is that because space for living costs so much people live in tiny apartments. I just couldn't stand living in small spaces for all my life. The people are workaholics because there are fewer holidays in Japan than any other developed country. That I believe is just plain evil.
