Tokyo


Spread over the Kantō Region on the southeastern side of the island of Honshu, Tokyo Metropolis consists of the city of Tokyo as well as Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. This capital city is the most populated area in Japan, but also in the world....

It is impossible to talk about Tokyo without using superlatives. From many perspectives, this megacity is one of the world’s most influential capitals. An unexpected fusion of ultra-modern and the traditional is what makes this fast-paced and cutting-edge city a true magnet for tourists. Some neighborhoods seem like a travel into the future, while others are evoking the past with its ancient look. In between, you have got an endless number of things to see and experiences to live. Home to world-class museums and galleries, such as TeamLab Borderless and the Ghilbi Museum, Tokyo is a paradise for all arts and culture lovers. At the same time, Sensō-ji, Meiji-jingū and Rikugi-en, as well as many other temples, shrines and beautiful gardens wait to be discovered. No story about Tokyo can be complete without mentioning its fabulous gastronomy. Being the world’s leading city for the most Michelin-starred restaurants (234), Tokyo welcomes you with a sheer variety of tastes worth exploring.
