Tokyo
The world's largest metropolis — neon-lit districts, Michelin stars, and ancient shrines.
Tokyo is a city of layers. The neon canyons of Shibuya and Shinjuku coexist with serene gardens at the Imperial Palace and ancient shrines in Asakusa. It holds more Michelin stars than any city on earth, from omakase sushi counters to ramen bars hidden beneath railway arches. Side trips to Mount Fuji, Hakone's hot springs, and Nikko's ornate temples are all within easy reach by bullet train.

Travel Tips for Tokyo
- Buy a Suica or Pasmo IC card at the airport — it works on all trains, metros, and buses and can be used for convenience-store purchases.
- Tokyo's train system is world-class but complex. Download a transit app (Google Maps or Navitime) and plan routes in advance.
- Tipping is not customary in Japan and can even cause confusion. Service is included and consistently excellent.
- Visit Harajuku on a Sunday to see Takeshita Street at its liveliest, and combine it with a walk through nearby Meiji Shrine's forest.
