Living 5 minutes train ride away from Shibuya-station, the areas surrounding it bring the most memories but it also never fails to mesmerize me. Shibuya, as you know is a colossal metropolis as you've probably seen on TV or movies. It's chaotic, loud, and busy. But it's also the best place for shopping, eating, and practically do anything. It was my playground the 6 years I was there. Then there is Harajuku with the crazy teenage and cosplay girls. What many tourists don't know that if you go in the back alleys, there's some pretty chill and retro cafes and second hand shops. Omotesando is the most sophisticated, possibly one of the most high-end districts in Tokyo mimicking Champs-Elysee. It's funny that all three of them are neighboring each other and easily walkable from one to another. You can definitely see the change in style, people, and atmosphere and it never fails to surprise me as well really embrace the changing faces of Tokyo. It only takes 1-2 hours to walk around all of them (maybe 1-2 more extra hours to take pictures, and eat as well!) so it's definitely a must-go. There's also some really great restaurants and fantastic cafes.
