Shibuya Crossing is the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. Its bright lights and billboards are stunning.
2. Harajuku / Yoyogi Park
Harajuku and nearby Yoyogi Park are popular gathering places for (many of) Tokyo's youth subcultures. It's a good spot to get shots of Japanese street fashion.
3. Shinjuku
Shinjuku is a massive neighborhood that would be a metropolis on it's own (without the rest of Tokyo). It's urban exploring at it's best.Be aware: people in the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku often don't like to have their photo taken. Kabukicho is a fairly dangerous area.
4. Ginza
Ginza is Asia's premier upscale shopping neighborhood. It has interesting architectural features.
5. Omotesando
Omotesando is another upscale shopping district that's full of interesting architecture and fashionable people.
6. Odaiba
Odaiba is a good spot to get photos of Tokyo Bay and Tokyo's skyline.
7. Aoyama Cemetery
Aoyama Cemetery is Tokyo's oldest cemetery. It's a massive park-like Japanese (and Western) cemetery. The contrast of the natural setting and the massive buildings of Roppongi in the background is interesting.
8. Tokyo Sky Tree
Tokyo Sky Tree is the second tallest structure in the world. It affords the best views of Tokyo from above.
9. Hamarikyu Gardens
Hamarikyu Gardens is a large Edo-era Japanese garden located beside Shiodome (one of Tokyo's largest business districts). It's a popular spot amongst local photographers.
10. Yurakucho
Yurakucho is an old part of Tokyo that hasn't changed much for the last 70 years. Check out the tiny Izakaya under the railway tracks. It's Tokyo nightlife at its best.
