    Tokyo is divided into many areas such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza, Roppongi, and Asakusa, each of which has completely different characteristics and is very strange and interesting. Moreover, this is true for every local city in Japan, and each one from the northern end to the southern end has a completely different and special character. Taking Tokyo and Osaka as examples, the two cities had completely different atmospheres and even different personalities of the people who lived there. But the common thread is that wherever you go, it is very clean, social order is maintained, safety is good, people are kind and friendly. And most of all, the food is so delicious! I think it's worth a lifetime to visit every part of Japan.

    I visited (from Toronto) and stayed in an APA hotel in Shijuku for almost three weeks, during September of 2024. Fascinating! I already started missing it, even a week before I had to return to Canada! A friend there took me to Shibuya one night, and I found that area to be classier and more interesting than Shinjuku. Shinjuku is interesting too, but different; I can only describe it as feeling a little 'wilder' and louder, but still nice. Actually (through some other friends there) I discovered a few different areas and neighbourhoods that were gorgeous, lively, interesting and fun, but not so crowded and hectic- more 'spread out', and less cramped too. I may consider staying in one of those areas next time I hope to go (and visit Shinjuku and Shibuya once in a while), and may even stay for a month!

    You visited the scramble crossing at the right time at sunset and on a weekend. Visit Ginza for Japan''s version of NY 5th avenue. At night if possible.
    Fun fact time:
    For fans of Persona 5 some of the iconic locations like the Ginza line ticket gates and the green train carriage are now gone but you can still buy a drink to boost up your stats at the juice bar in the underground passageway near where you meet Yusuke. Also Buchiko (ie. Hachiko) will be celebrating his 100th anniversary in November.

    Growing up in NYC and now living in Tokyo for about 7 years I agree in some sense with the comparison. The difference for me is in the safety and cleanliness, plus nobody gonna bother you at all here. Both have an energy and both are intense, just on two different ends. Shibuya has so much more to actually do, and being 5 minutes from another crazy area like Shinjuku or Roppongi

    We were just in Tokyo last month for the first time. We stayed at a hotel near Shinjuku, and then we visited Shibuya as well. Both districts are vibrant and bustling but for different reasons.
    1. Shinjuku:
    Positive:
    - more big shopping malls and high-end shops like Gucci, Hermes, etc.
    - tons of bars/drinking (ie. Golden Gai area), lounges and more Japanese BBQ/izakaya style of restaurants.
    - known for host and hostess clubs (Kabukicho).
    - along and north of Tokyō Metropolitan Rte 302 is known for Korean neighbourhoods (tons of Korean restaurants).
    Negative:
    - be careful of "tourist traps"!! Lots of places that try to lore you in for drinking and host/hostess.
    - not the most fun place if you aren't into drinking/alcohol (like us).
    2. Shibuya: (our favorite neighbourhood)
    - we find there are more ramen restaurants and local eats (more variety than just Japanese BBQ/izakaya style).
    - more small-scale shopping malls.
    - close to Harajuku (cool tourist shops and treats) and Omote-Sando (tons of high end shops).
    - north east quadrant of Omote-Sando and Meiji-dori Ave (in those small streets and allies) are full of cool Japanese retails and brands.
    So you want 1) tons of ramen, curry, katsu restaurant selections 2) cool local brands/retails, then spend more time in Shibuya. For most tourists, high-end brands like Gucci, Hermes, Channel are not a huge draw as you can find these in other big cities. But if you want trendy and cool local brands, then Harajuku/Omote-Sando is WAY BETTER retail and shopping experience.

    Shibuya is a bustling district known for its fashion scene and IT industry. It attracts a diverse crowd, particularly those in their 30s and 40s, and is home to numerous clubs and live music venues. Shinjuku, on the other hand, is a bustling business hub that houses the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office. It caters primarily to businessmen and offers a range of amenities, including an nightlife district and cozy bars. Harajuku, once a bustling neighborhood for teenagers, has experienced a significant decline in its youth population due to the distressing problem of voyeurism by foreign tourists, ultimately leading to its current state as a tourist-centric enclave predominantly owned by Chinese and Koreans.(Approximately 80% of Japanese tourists are Chinese or Korean nationals.

      Nightlife in Tokyo tends to attract different crowds depending on the region. Shibuya is for young people, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro are for adults, Shinbashi is for middle-aged businessmen on their way home from work, Yurakucho is for young businessmen on their way home from work, Roppongi and Akasaka are for the media and entertainment industries, and Ginza is for corporate executives and wealthy people.
