Discover Tokyo

Tokyo is a city like nowhere else on Earth, where dazzling technology, neon-lit skyscrapers and some of the world's busiest streets exist alongside ancient temples, peaceful gardens and centuries-old traditions. From the extraordinary spectacle of Shibuya Crossing, where thousands of pedestrians converge beneath giant illuminated screens, to the electric atmosphere of Shinjuku after dark, Japan's capital is a fascinating blend of the futuristic and the traditional.

For a glimpse of old Tokyo, explore Asakusa, home to the magnificent Sensō-ji Temple, with its enormous red lanterns and bustling Nakamise shopping street. In spring, the cherry blossoms transform parks such as Ueno and Shinjuku Gyoen into spectacular displays of pink and white. Elsewhere, the fashionable streets of Harajuku showcase Japan's colourful youth culture, while Akihabara is a paradise for enthusiasts of electronics, gaming and anime.

Tokyo is also one of the world's great culinary capitals. Here, food preparation is often elevated to an art form, from the extraordinary precision of sushi chefs to the delicate knife skills involved in preparing sashimi, where the quality, texture and presentation of each slice are treated with meticulous care. Explore the lively food stalls of Tsukiji Outer Market, enjoy a steaming bowl of ramen in a tiny neighbourhood restaurant or experience an elaborate multi-course kaiseki meal. Tokyo's dining scene ranges from inexpensive noodle bars to some of the world's most celebrated fine-dining establishments.

And then there's the experience of Tokyo itself: the astonishing efficiency of its railway network, the immaculate streets, the vending machines seemingly everywhere and the quiet courtesy that characterises so many everyday encounters. Whether you're discovering traditional Japanese culture, exploring futuristic entertainment districts or enjoying some of the finest food on the planet, Tokyo is a city that continually surprises and fascinates.
