Trendsetting Tokyo is the top choice for Chinese travelers visiting Japan, constantly refreshing its facilities, trends, and culture as a dynamic metropolis that always offers something new. Want to visit this iconic city? The "Tokyo Fan Club" Facebook page is hosting a vote for Tokyo’s 2012 New Tourist Landmarks from now until July 1st—participate for a chance to visit Tokyo yourself!

This spring, Tokyo welcomed many new facilities, starting with the highly anticipated opening of Tokyo Skytree. Standing at 634 meters, it is the tallest telecommunications tower in the world, taking over the role previously held by Tokyo Tower. In addition, the surrounding area features a variety of integrated facilities, such as shopping malls, an aquarium, and hotels. There is also an abundance of merchandise, including a limited-edition leopard-print cake designed by the famous Tokyo Banana, available only at Tokyo Skytree.

Odaiba DiverCity is Tokyo’s largest entertainment and leisure complex, housing 154 stores including brands like H&M, FOREVER 21, American Eagle Outfitters, ZARA, and UNIQLO. It also features the world’s only permanent Gundam exhibition hall, “Gundam Front Tokyo,” which showcases various Gundam-related content from the past 30 years with “1/1 scale” and “hyper-realistic” concepts. The life-sized Gundam robot displayed outdoors is a must-visit photo spot and has become DiverCity’s newest popular landmark.

Shibuya Hikarie, a brand-new commercial facility, has also opened near the east exit of Shibuya Station, breaking the stereotype of Shibuya being just for the youth. This nightlife destination targets office ladies, featuring a 16,000-square-meter shopping space called ShinQs with around 200 stores to explore. Starting July 18th, a Broadway theater will also open, generating much anticipation.

Trend-leading Omotesando is home to Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku, which gathers various fashion brands, design goods, and flagship stores, including AMERICAN EAGLE, which has just launched in Japan, and TOMMY HILFIGER’s only Asian flagship store. It is truly the center of style. Additionally, the rooftop sky garden offers views of the surrounding scenery, which becomes even more beautiful when illuminated at night. From now until July 1st, simply join the “Tokyo Fan Club” Facebook page, vote for your favorite new Tokyo tourist landmark from the list above, and you could win a 4-day, 3-night free trip prize, staying at a luxury hotel in Odaiba to experience Tokyo’s charm firsthand.
