Tokyo is the world\u2019s largest city by population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a city full of neon lights, busy train terminals, and an endless stream of people, locals and travelers alike, hurrying from one place to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love visiting Tokyo, but I\u2019m in no way a big city girl. I tend to crave a slower pace of travel\u2014one where I can quite literally stop and smell the flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Which is funny, because ever since I started traveling to Japan, I really have become that person who stops mid-walk to admire the flowers lining the streets. It\u2019s something I don\u2019t see nearly as much of back home in LA.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I appreciate about Tokyo, other than the sidewalk foliage (?), is how many beautifully landscaped parks are tucked within the city. Places where you can sit, pause, read, or take a moment to breathe before diving into a crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
