MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — One could make the argument that Tokyo, Japan, is perhaps the most bustling city in the world. Tokyo is a busy city. There's always a lot going on. It's crowded, lots of skyscrapers. You're always on the move. Buses, subways, scooters, and taxis are the main forms of travel in its crowded streets. It's vibrant, but its people are a peaceful people that always find a way to take delight in its vibrance.

From its ultra-modern skyscrapers to some of the more traditional temples that have been around for ages, it's the perfect place to define Japanese culture.
