Exploring Tokyo: A 7-day Citywalk Adventure (part 1 of 2)

We walked 20000+ steps a day for 7 days to explore the vast Tokyo Metropolis. The city is a mix of rich traditional culture and futuristic attractions. Our itinerary ranges from leafy natural parks to neon-lit alleyways. In this part 1 of 2 video, we visited Sunshine60 observation tower, Tokyo International Forum, Ginza, Shibuya Crossing, Shibuya Hikarie, Tokyo Plaza, mipig café, Takeshita Street, Reload Tokyo and Shimokitazawa.

Our travel covered the districts of Ikebukuro, Asakusa, Marunouchi, Ginza, Shibuya, Shinjuku and Shimokitazawa. We feel like we have barely scratched the surface, and each district deserves its own 7 days of exploration. There is never enough time for good times!
