Top Places to See in Tokyo
Hand-picked by our travel experts — the experiences that define this destination.
Where Ancient Tradition Meets Neon-Lit Modernity
Tokyo is unlike any other city on earth. It is simultaneously the world's largest metropolis and one of its most orderly, a place where cutting-edge technology coexists with centuries-old tradition, where Michelin-starred restaurants outnumber those of any other city, and where the streets are so clean you could eat off them.
From the serene gardens of the Imperial Palace to the sensory overload of Shibuya Crossing, from the ancient temples of Asakusa to the futuristic towers of Shinjuku — Tokyo rewards exploration at every level, from the grand to the intimate.
Add to this the day trips to Mount Fuji, Nikko and Kamakura, and you have a destination that could occupy a traveller for weeks without exhausting its wonders.
