Tokyo

Tokyo is the capital of Japan and one of the biggest cities in the world, it has a population of 12,36 million of people but it grews on laborable days because of the people that come from other cities to study or work. It is located in the biggest island of Japan.

Tokyo is divided into two different areas, one is composed of a lot of islands; and the other one is the city, formed by 23 special neighbourhoods, and the region around it. The mainland part is where most of the population is, and it is also the politic and economic capital of the whole country.

This city has a warm climate, with temperatures around 14 degrees during the whole year. In summer the temperatures are about 24 degrees, and in winter, they are around 4 degrees with occasional snowfalls.

About monuments and sightseeing, there is a lot to see. First you should visit the imperial palace, home of the emperor and his family. That's why there are a lot of places closed, but you will anyway enjoy this visit. The palace is surrounded by the "Kyoko Gaien" (palace garden), the perfect place for a photo. There are also a lot of temples of different religions, where the several festivals are held, such as the Meiji Shrine or the Sensoji Temple. Those festivals are called "matsuri" and they commemorate a lot of important days in different religions, such as the birth of Buda.

A good place for going out is the district of Shibuya, completely dedicated to entertaiment and shops. It is famous for its shopping centres, and because the Asian trends usually start there.

I think Tokyo is a very interesting city and everybody should visit it one day, although I haven't been there yet.
