We are continuing our list of best vacation spots for singles in their 30’s with Tokyo that is the sole core of one of the richest and the most populated metro areas in the world, and it can give you the deep insight into the Japanese living, culture, and trends. Although the city has more than 13 million inhabitants, it can be as peaceful as the most relaxing Japanese gardens. The best way to experience Tokyo is to follow your instincts and do what Billy Murray and Scarlet Johansson did in Lost in Translation. Take a peak in shops that sell weird and beautiful products, play arcades with local youth and go to restaurants where you don’t recognize a single dish on the menu. If you want to party in Tokyo, go to a karaoke bar. The morning after, try to cure your sake infused hangover in a calm and relaxing park. If your holiday coincides with Sakura (cherry blossom), you will share your appreciation for this magnificent tree with thousands of Tokyoites, who flock the city parks during this time.
