Tokyo

Eliška Kuchynková

Yes, another city in Asia because I love how different their culture is than for example European culture. I also chose this city because I love Japanese language, music and food. I listen to Japanese pop and rap a lot, it's one of my favorite genres. I am also a big fan of Japanese food, because my favorite food is Japanese and that is sushi. I also love Udon noodles, ramen and gyoza. Another reason why I'm attracted to Japan is that I like anime movies, for example Ghibli movies, my favorite movie is ''Howl's Moving Castle''.

I chose Tokyo because it offers a lot of monuments and beautiful entertaining places. For example, the Sensō-ji Temple, which is the city's most famous shrine. It is located at the end of a long street. Market hosting vendors selling masks, carvings, toys, kimonos or fabric. Another interesting place in Tokyo that you can visit is the Imperial Palace. It is the main residence of the Emperor of Japan. The place I would go first is Studio Ghibli Museum. For those who don't know Studio Ghibli is an animation house that released several movies that have achieved worldwide popularity for example Spirited Away or My Neighbour Totoro.

The main reason why I chose this city is the Cherry Blossom Sakura trees. I think everyone knows these pink stunning trees and Tokyo can offer a lot. The best and most famous place with these trees is Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden which is the garden with an area over 3.5 kilometres and has about 1 100 Sakura trees in spring.

I really hope I will have an opportunity to see all these places, trees and to eat their food in the future. I'm actually planning to go there with my friend after graduation. It will be very expensive so I need to work hard so I can afford it and enjoy this city to the fullest. Visiting Tokyo is one of my biggest dreams and I hope it will come true.
