About Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan's mesmerising capital, is a city where ultra-modern technology meets centuries-old tradition in the most extraordinary ways. From the serene Meiji Shrine surrounded by ancient forest to the neon-drenched streets of Shibuya and Shinjuku, Tokyo offers a sensory overload unlike any other city on Earth. The culinary scene is unrivalled, boasting more Michelin stars than any other city in the world, from exquisite sushi counters to steaming bowls of ramen in tiny back-alley shops. Whether you're witnessing the organised chaos of Shibuya Crossing, exploring the otaku culture of Akihabara, or finding peace in a traditional tea ceremony, Tokyo constantly surprises and delights.
