This past Golden Week, one of my best
friends from America came to visit me in Tokyo. It was so much fun to have her
here and show her around Tokyo. I know many people use Golden Week an
opportunity to get out of the city, but there’s still a lot of fun things to do
in Tokyo during this time, especially with a best friend at your side! We
visited some of the most famous tourist sites, like Asakusa, the Shibuya
Scramble, and Harajuku. We went to a Wisteria Festival at the Kameido Tenjin
Shrine. We also took a day trip to Enoshima Island and Kamakura. We visited the
Kamakura Daibutsu, which was amazing. And of course, we ate a lot of Japanese
food! My friend wanted to try everything while she was here, so we ate sushi,
ramen, tonkatsu, yaki-tori, takoyaki, soup curry, and lots of green tea ice
cream. It was a fantastic Golden Week!
