More Tokyo Exploring – Thursday 15th May

  • Shibuya Scramble Crossing
  • Imperial Palace
  • 2D Cafe

Shibuya Scramble Crossing

We travelled to Shibuya Scramble Crossing in the heart of Tokyo – which is the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing, with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time!

No 1276
On your marks, get set.. GO!

We later went from Shibuya to the Imperial Palace through Tokyo’s metro system, with the wacky escalators!

Up or down?

Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace is the main residence of the Emperor of Japan. The area where the imperial family reside is closed to the public, but the palace gardens are open year round.

Most of the structures of the Palace were destroyed in an Allied bombing raid on Tokyo – it’s also where in the closing days of the Pacific War, the decision was made for Japan to surrender in an underground air-raid shelter.

Today, it has great views of the surrounding city from the viewpoints!

Concrete jungle….

2D Cafe

The 2D cafe is a cool cafe in Tokyo that looks like a 2D drawing. The drinks and deserts are delicious! We were not disappointed!

3D Bethany!

See you next time!
