Tokyo, Japan Travel Guide

Neon lights and ancient shrines

Why visit Tokyo

Shibuya’s crossing, Senso-ji’s temple and the world’s most Michelin-starred city in one enormous, orderly metropolis. Tokyo is a patchwork of distinct neighbourhoods — each a day trip of its own — connected by the best public transport on earth. Tsukiji’s seafood, a ramen counter at midnight, and the imperial gardens make it endlessly repeatable.
