Previously a relatively hidden destination, Tokyo's technological leaps and passion for everything new has made the rest of the world sit up and take notice. A city of smaller cities, Tokyo's neighbourhoods are individual and unique in what each can offer, from cultural sights to vast shopping malls. Get ready for a whirlwind of modernity and tradition - this is Tokyo!

Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, is the political and economic center of the country. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Initially, Japan was a fishing village named Edo in the 16th century, which has transformed into one of the most populous cities on earth. In terms of infrastructure and design, Tokyo is a fascinating city visit.

It’s quite easy to get around the city, with its subway networks and superb rail. The cultural history is exhibited in its museums, internationally noted cuisine, and festivals. The traditional sumo and professional sports like football are the favourites of the locals. Discover Tokyo's rich theater and music in its pop and rock concerts, symphony orchestras, and modern dramas.

Tokyo is passionate about everything new, always changing with the future trend, and still holding fast to its traditions. No visit to Tokyo offers the same experience. Some neighbourhoods evoke the past with glowing lanterns and low-slung wooden buildings, while others leave you breathless with futuristic buildings. The Asian city has an excellent food scene, dishing out soba, ramen, monjayaki, unaju, and other sumptuous meals.
