    Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Kikuicho
    "A slope passing to the southeast of Kikuicho's Raikoji Temple starting at Waseda Station on the Tozai Line. Natsume Soseki was born in the neighborhood in 1867. It got its name from his father, Naokatsu, an important landowner who took to calling it by his own name. This eventually caught on and became official. Towards the Ushigome Health Center you can find the site of Soseki Sanbo, where the author spent the later years of his life. It later became a municipally run apartment building, and today there's the small Soseki Park there. Its ""Neko Zuka (cat mound),"" a memorial to deceased cats, dogs, and pet birds, was installed together with a bust of Soseki."

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
