🇯🇵 Tokyo

A forest hush minutes from Harajuku — go early before the tour buses.

Architecture-spotting and slow coffee down Cat Street's boutiques.

Ride up for the crossing from above, then the rooftop at golden hour.

Hop tiny counters for skewers, sashimi and highballs with locals.

Incense, lanterns and Nakamise snacks before the morning fills up.

Stroll the willow-lined banks toward the Skytree with a melon-pan in hand.

A rich shoyu bowl in an old-town lane the guidebooks forget.

Croquettes, cat murals and a genuinely local shopping street.
