Over the years, two of my favorite places in Tokyo to hang out in are Shibuya and Asakusa.
Both are very different but fun to roam around in.
Live Japan has an article comparing the two with information on what to see and do in each.
They begin with:
Shibuya and Asakusa are two of Tokyo’s most-visited areas. Even if you’ve never set foot in Tokyo, it’s very likely that you can easily identify the parade of people at Shibuya Scramble Crossing and the grand crimson lantern suspended above the Kaminarimon Gate of Sensoji Temple.
Yet, for all their popularity, Shibuya and Asakusa are complete opposites; one represents modernity and the other represents tradition. Shibuya is Tokyo’s trendsetting district that is at the forefront of Japanese pop culture and fashion. On the other hand, a day in Asakusa seems like a step back in time.
Let’s dive in and take a deeper look at what makes these two areas of Tokyo so popular among visitors!
