Japan has always been considered an exotic country with many advances, some eccentricities, and the birthplace of manga, video games and anime.
But not only that, one also thinks of things like martial arts, traditional Japanese houses, temples, and the many rituals and customs they have that make Japan unique, and in the case of Tokyo even more since one can find a mix of both things just by walking a little.
As you walk you can see tall modern buildings, as well as typical and traditional places.
In this video I take you on a tour in which you will be able to see a little of each of the things I'm telling you about.
I hope you like it!
