As one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world, Shibuya Crossing (or Shibuya Scramble) in Tokyo, Japan can see upwards of 3000 people flood the street with every light change. The spectacle of this rotation between pedestrians and traffic is fascinating to watch, incredibly Japanese in its efficiency, and has made the scramble one of Tokyo's most featured locales.
Cat cafes are wildly popular across Japan, so a spontaneous visit to one in Tokyo was perhaps par for the course. I can't say that any of the cats were particularly interested in welcoming visitors during our brief encounter, but they did deliver the grumpy cat vibes in spades.
Overwhelming rows of neon signs, bustling nightlife, and the world's busiest train station make Shinjuku one of Tokyo, Japan's most iconic wards. Here you'll find restaurants staffed by robots, all manor of odd shops, Kabukicho - the famous red light district, and even Godzilla. Visually speaking, Shinjuku is the closest I've ever come to feeling like I was in Blade Runner.
