Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is a city where skyscrapers and nature meet, and where old and new cultures mix. The highly-developed transport system provides easy access to any part of the city.
The city is packed with restaurants and boasts a rich and varied culinary culture.
You can’t visit Tokyo without visiting Shibuya at least once. You’re probably already familiar with this district, which boasts one of the busiest crossroads in the world.
Japan is synonymous with cutting-edge electronics. In Akihabara, it’s not a street, but a city that can be described as electric.
Young Japanese love to escape the rigid rules of society. At weekends in particular, many people dress up in anime-inspired outfits to parade around Harajuku. Have fun recognising your favourite heroes in the enchantment of Cosplay colours. This is also where you can buy your own Cosplay outfit.
Many religions are represented in Japan, the two main ones being Buddhism and Shintoism. Iconic buildings worth visiting in Tokyo include the Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine and the Senso-Ji Buddhist Temple.
The cherry blossom season (sakura) in Tokyo is a truly magical experience. Thousands of flowering trees colour the streets with sumptuous shades of pink. In Japan, these flowers are a national obsession, and people flock to parks for hanami and picnics to admire and photograph the cherry blossoms. Shops stock their shelves with sakura-themed items and sakura-flavoured foods, such as sakura bento boxes and pink sakura-flavoured drinks. As if to forget the winter, a cheerful and optimistic atmosphere takes hold of the city.
