About Tokyo
Tokyo is one of the world's most extraordinary cities — where thousand-year-old shrines sit beside robot restaurants, and serene tea ceremonies exist blocks from the world's busiest pedestrian crossing. Japan's capital offers impeccable cuisine (from street ramen to Michelin-starred sushi), cutting-edge fashion in Harajuku, and the spiritual calm of Asakusa temple.
How to Explore
Utilize the world-class train and subway network for seamless city-wide transit. Focus on distinct districts like the neon-lit Shinjuku or the traditional streets of Asakusa. Take day trips to nearby Hakone or Nikko to experience Japan's natural landscapes and hot springs.
