Little Hong Kong in Tokyo

In the Daiba mall on Odaiba is a section known as “Little Hong Kong”. Two floors of the mall have been decked out to resemble 1960′s Hong Kong. Pretty neat.

Shibuya – Hachiko and Love Hotels

Shibuya is a popular meeting and hangout spot for the 20-something crowd in Tokyo.  Being such a busy place, people need a meeting spot before heading out to the bars — and that meeting spot is at the Hachiko statue outside the train station.  After the bars, folks also need a place to spend the night when all the trains stop running, and what better place than a love hotel with that “special” someone?

Shibuya Crossing

Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo Japan is the world’s busiest intersection. The intersection is directly in front of the Shibuya train station, and has a 4-way pedestrian crossing that is a sight that needs to be seen to truly be appreciated. Every couple of minutes when the walk light comes on, chaos ensues in the intersection.
