Book Trips to Tokyo and Witness its Many Marvels


Tokyo: Capital of Japan, and arguably one of the dominant Eastern Capitals of culture. With the new era of cryptocurrency, some of the top hotels in Tokyo have embraced the Bitcoin, making Tokyo travel a hassle-free reality. Here are some of the places to see when you plan to book trips to Tokyo.


      1.     Tokyo Imperial Palace – The residence of the Imperial family; the oldest continuing hereditary monarchy in the world. Visitors may see the family and the inner palace grounds on only two days in the year, and can avail tours of the rest of the property throughout the year.

     2.     Harajuku – Sandwiched between Shinjuku and Shibuya, this district is the go-to for the next word in teenage trend. Host to some of Japan’s most iconic fashion trends, including the Gyaru, Lolita and Decora; Takeshita Dori is a must-see for the fashion historian and teenage traveler. For the eager shopper, stop by the iconic Daiso to find items for 100 yen, or drop by the Oriental Bazaar for some souvenirs to take back.

     3.     Meiji Shrine – Dedicated to the Emperor Meiji, a man responsible for opening up Japan to the west, resulting in the birth of many cultural classics, including the ubiquitous kare raisu. Not too far from Harajuku station, this shrine is a must see for those seeking the tranquil air and Shinto culture that permeate Japan’s culture and work ethic.

     4.     Tokyo Tower – Only recently surpassed by the Tokyo Skytree, this broadcast antenna stands at 333 metres tall, offering a panoramic view of Tokyo from the center out. With Roppongi and Shinagawa close by to the West and South, and Tsukishima and the Tsukiji Market to the East, visitors are spoilt for choice in selecting their next destination during their Tokyo travel.

      5.     Roppongi – Renowned for the most popular district for nightlife amongst visitors, Roppongi is the place to go for those looking to satiate their thirst for art; as three art museums in this district form the “Art Triangle Roppongi.” With the aforementioned Tokyo Tower nearby, you can spend a day exploring Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown while in the area.

Time and tide wait for nobody, and while you could sit on the idea and consider a delay in book trips to Tokyo, XcelToken guarantees easy access to some of the best cheap hotels in Tokyo for travelers on a budget.

Understanding Liquidity

Image
The concept of  liquidity   has many facades to it. One way to define liquidity is “the ability of an asset to be converted into cash readily on demand”. An additional way of viewing at it is when any asset can be bought or sold at its fair price. Liquidity thus means that there aren’t discounts or bonuses devoted to it during buy or sell and it’s easy to enter and exit the asset. It is believed as more of an item is accepted and sold, the chances of charging premiums or giving discounts lower and such an asset usually trades around ‘what it is worth’. The forex market is often defined as a liquid market with an average turnover of more than $5 trillion daily as of April 2016 according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) while real estate is a classic example of an illiquid asset. Property as an asset is less liquid, requiring huge investments into physical form, monotonous procedures and smaller market.  Liquidity is significant for any tradable  asset , wh
