Japan is a country with a rich and fascinating history. It is the birthplace of the legendary samurai warriors and ninja assassins, who have become iconic figures in popular culture. From its ancient beginnings to its modern-day status as an economic superpower, Japan has been shaped by its unique culture and traditions. Most popular cities in Japan are Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hiroshima and Nagasaki have a glorious and a sad story behind their history. But among the above three cities, I pick my favourite dream destination as Tokyo. The capital of Japan.

TOKYO TOWER
The top sky-craper of Tokyo is Tokyo Tower. First time when I saw this
Tokyo Tower, I thought it’s Eiffel Tower. The structure is similar with the
Eifel tower. The Tokyo Sky Tree is 1092 feet high. Transmitting the television
and radio signals over the Tokyo sky is the main object of building this
mammoth structure. But now it is a tourist attraction too. The tower has an observation deck which gives a great view of the city, and I will spend more
time in the observation deck sipping a cup of coffee watching the setting sun. I would like to climb
the sky tree night. Watching the sparkling city under the stary sky will be a
great way to relax the mind.
