It’s fitting that the Meiji Jingu would be on the same street as stores like Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Saint Laurent. Regularly referred to as the Champs-Elysees of Tokyo, this boulevard houses many of the world’s most prestigious retail outlets. While it’s best known for its shopping, at the same time, there are a number of attractions within the neighborhood. Unsurprisingly, there’s a never-ending list of must-visit destinations here- only if you know where to look! But how on earth are you going to start making your bucket list without an internet connection?
