The pace and energy in Tokyo’s everyday life is just unmatchable. There are neon signs all over the place, people rushing about and traffic moving along at snail’s pace – almost throughout the day & night.

However, Tokyo city does manage to squeeze in a delightful character amidst all this chaos and monotony. The energy of the people ensures that Tokyo’s festivals are to-die-for.

There are a number of shrines in this wonderful city, places where people go to reflect on their lives or just slow down for a bit.

These shrines are known to host some of the most fabulous festivals in Japan, such as the Sanno Festival held at the Hie Shrine and the Sanja Festival, at the Asakusa Shrine.

The Kanda Matsuri festival brings over a million people from all over the world, all gathering at the Sumida River for an excellent fireworks’ display.

Tokyo is also known for its parks, especially during spring-time when the Cherry Blossoms begin to bloom. Picnics under these beautiful trees are a common occurrence with Inokashira Park being one of the most popular destinations.

For an insight into Japan’s way of life and its history, a visit to the Tokyo National Museum or the National Museum of Science is imperative. Add to that a visit to the National Museum of Western Art and the diverse nature of Tokyo’s culture & traditions become even more evident to the traveller.
