Tokyo bags award as most Instagrammable place in the world

Tokyo, Japan has beaten 49 other cities for the top spot in the ‘Most Instagrammable Places In The World 2021’ list of Big 7 Travel website.

“Do it for the ‘gram,” is a popular saying embodying the Instagram culture we are currently in. Snapping photos of food, places, and even experiences are nothing new to us. However, if you want to give your feed a serious boost, do it in Tokyo to give your pictures an incredible background.

Even myself, I was not able to resist taking a few snaps in the dynamic city during my few visits in 2019 (when we can still travel freely and carelessly).

The website says, “Ancient shrines, other-worldly art exhibits and vibrant neon-lit billboards galore are just a few things that make Tokyo a hit on the gram. The bustling Japanese capital is also famous for its buzzing shopping markets perfect for capturing the essence of life in Tokyo. Take a look at Instagram and your mind will be blown: more than 53 million #tokyo hashtags reveal why this city is the most Instagrammable place in the world for 2021.”

Big 7 Travel analysed Instagram hashtags for destinations around the world, asked the 600,000 people that follow its food and travel Instagram accounts for their opinions and considered the thoughts of its editorial team.

Rounding up the top five of most Instagrammable places in the world are: The Philippines (2nd), Paris (3rd), New York (4th), and Istanbul (5th).
