Tokyo, Japan's bustling capital, (and my current city!) is a city of contrasts where futuristic skyscrapers stand side by side with serene temples and traditional gardens. Known for its bustling, modern neighborhoods such as Shibuya, and Shinjuku and the famous, historic Asakusa, Tokyo offers a little something for everyone. Shibuya Crossing or Shibuya Scramble Square is often referred to as the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world, is an emblem of the city's energetic pace. For a taste of tradition, Asakusa’s Senso-ji Temple and the Meiji Shrine in Harajuku (adjacent to Yoyogi Park) provide serene escapes. Tokyo is also a paradise for food lovers, with everything from Michelin-starred sushi restaurants to charming izakayas serving classic Japanese dishes.
Step into Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan, which transports visitors to a world of ancient traditions and exquisite beauty. Home to over 1,600 temples and shrines, Kyoto’s iconic landmarks such as the golden Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), the sprawling Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and the vibrant Fushimi Inari Taisha with its thousands of torii gates create lasting impressions. Kyoto also offers a glimpse into Japan’s storied past through its geisha culture in the historic Gion district and its tea ceremonies that emphasize mindfulness and artistry. With its cherry blossoms in spring and fiery autumn foliage, Kyoto is stunning in every season.
Singapore is a global city known for its cutting-edge architecture and diverse cultural influences. From the futuristic Gardens by the Bay to the historic Chinatown, Singapore offers a blend of modernity and tradition. The iconic Marina Bay Sands offers sweeping views of the city, while the bustling streets of Orchard Road provide a shopper’s paradise.
