Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and one of the most populated cities in the world. A center for worldwide business, it's also a convenient destination for those wishing to visit Japan, who don't speak the language. While there, check out the Meiji shrine, Yoyogi Park, and the city views from Tokyo Tower. If you visit the Shibuya district, you’ll get to experience one of the busiest pedestrian crosswalks in the world.

Key Facts

Japan's robust public transportation system means you'll be able to easily get wherever you want to go, no matter where you pick a hotel, via the Tokyo Metro. You can get a more Japanese experience by staying in a ryokan, a traditional style of inn. Inside the city, a visit to Harajuku allows you to check out the unique teen fashions in Japan, and the electronic shops in Akihabara attract tech-savvy visitors.

If you want to take a day trip from Tokyo, consider visiting Tokyo Disneyland, traveling to the Buddha statue at Kamakura, or taking in the views of Mt. Fuji from Hakone Park.

Hints and Tips

Tokyo has a vibrant nightlife, and you’ll find many clubs in the Shibuya and Roppongi areas. Check train schedules for the timing of the last Metro train, because they do stop at different times of night.
