Growing up with Saint Seiya,Doraemon and Dragon Ball, I had always dreamed of becoming a Cartoonist.  I also interest in Japanese Culture and food though watching Japanese manga and anime. Although, there is a lot of excitement surrounding Japan’s subculture , Manga and Anime are only going popularity. Tokyo, is the biggest “HEART” for it. Therefore, I chose to travel to Tokyo for my dream vacation.  

Tokyo is a dynamically modern metropolis that nearly 13 million people call home.Exciting, stimulating and safe, Tokyo offers a treasure trove of ever-unfolding surprises and discoveries that beguile the resident and visitor alike. Arts lovers are drawn to the many fine museums and art galleries,  manga and anime from around world that are constantly on display. I can find many different cultures of manga , anime and other arts.
