Discover Tokyo
Top Sights, Authentic Experiences
Yoking past and future, Tokyo dazzles with its traditional culture and passion for everything new.
Tokyos neon-bright streets still look like a sci-fi film set and thats a vision of the city from the 1980s. Tokyo has been building ever since, pushing the boundaries of whats possible on densely populated, earthquake-prone land, adding ever taller, sleeker structures. Stand atop one the skyscrapers and look out over the city at night to see it blinking like the control panel of a starship, stretching all the way to the horizon. However, Tokyo is a modern city built on old patterns, and in the shadows of those skyscrapers you can find quiet alleys, raucous traditional festivals and lantern-lit yakitori (grilled chicken) stands.
Speaking of food, Tokyo is one of the worlds top dining destinations. Here you can splash out on the best sushi of your life, made by one of the citys legendary chefs using the freshest, seasonal market ingredients. Or you can spend 800 on a bowl of noodles made with the same care and exacting attention to detail, from a recipe honed through decades of experience. Tokyo is also Japans pop-culture laboratory, where new trends grow legs. See the newest anime and manga flying off the shelves in Akihabara, shop for your favourite character goods, or just pick up some style inspiration walking down the streets of Harajuku.
