Tokyo
Japan’s bustling capital is a veritable hub of culture, dining, shopping and entertainment. As such, there is an endless array of things to do in Tokyo. History and culture buffs will love wandering around the many temples, shrines, museums and traditional districts. Foodies will have access to some of the best restaurants and finest cuisine in the world. Outdoor types may be surprised to learn that Tokyo is in fact a great walking and biking city; many suburbs are connected by landscaped greenways, and spectacular parks and gardens abound. Take it all in from one of the great vantage points around the city––you might even glimpse Mt. Fuji on a clear day.
Whether it’s the neon lights of Shinjuku, the traditional backstreets of Asakusa or the ultra-hip neighbourhood of Shimokitazawa, Tokyo has a vibe for everyone. Simply wander off the beaten track to discover what else this amazing city has to offer.
