Nations need armies to win, but explorers need only a Map to conquer the
World.
Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, is one of the world's most modern
cities in terms of its infrastructure and design. However, it is also
considered as world's most expensive city, but for travelers like me thanks to
its superb rail and subway networks, it is also one of the easiest to get
around. That’s all which is required to explore this beautiful city.
With one full day to explore as much as I can, I started as early as I could
have from my hotel. Just around the corner from my hotel there was a small
temple, so took the blessings of the Gods to make most of this day. I
started from Shinagawa Station and got down at Tokyo station to walk my way
towards Imperial Palace. The palace is still in use by the Imperial
family. During cherry blossom season the palace is one of the most sought
out spots in the city for photography. The Palace has been also known as Edo
Castle in the past, home to samurai warriors.
