Visit Tokyo, Japan

Take an evening stroll through the Shinjuku district of Tokyo and every preconceived image of modern Japan will be there to greet you: the thronging crowds decked out in the wildest fashions, towering skyscrapers, flashing neon and all the noise and excitement of what is perhaps the world’s ultimate metropolis.
What to expect
Shinjuku is Tokyo, but so are the smoky Senso-ji temples of Asakusa and the green oases of Hamarikyu-en Garden and Meiji Jingu Shrine. Tokyo is a city of countless subcentres, each with its own style, atmosphere and interest.
Exploring Tokyo
Location is key here, and we recommend staying in one of the excellent international hotel options on the circular JR Yamanote railway line. From here we can organise a city tour or provide comprehensive pre-departure notes to help you to explore independently. Savour an early sushi breakfast at the amazing Tsukiji fish market, explore historic Asakusa with its temples and traditional handicrafts before plunging into the glitter and extravagance of the shopping and entertainment districts of Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ginza.
Children's attractions
Tokyo also holds countless attractions for younger visitors, including celebrated anime director Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli Museum, Tokyo Disneyland and Harajuku, mecca for Japan's fashion-conscious youth.
