A Taste of Japan Think of Japans capital city, and dazzling skyscrapers, neon lights & boundary-pushing technology definitely spring to mind. However, this vast metropolis offers much more than modern architecture and karaoke bars.
If you are planning a visit to the "Big Mikan", you'll have so many things to see & do to look forward to! Here are our suggestions:
History & Sightseeing Tokyo's must-see historical sites include the serene Meiji Shrine, nestled in the lush forest that forms an oasis of peace in the heart of the city, and the iconic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa. And, of course, the Imperial Palace, home to the Japanese Emperor, with its spectacular gardens that offer a glimpse into Japan's rich past.
Art & Culture Make some time to immerse yourself in the stunning Tokyo National Museum. Wear comfy shoes! Here you will find incredible artifacts, beautiful & simply priceless. Contemporary art lovers should visit teamLab Borderless which offers utterly stunning immersive, digital exhibits.
Then there is the kabuki theatre: Traditional, flamboyant & just totally magical, you should try to catch a performance at the Kabukiza. And, if you get the opportunity, go to see a sumo wrestling match!
Fabulous Walks Get away from the hustle & bustle and the digital overload... Go to a park! Tokyos parks are among the most beautiful in the world, especially during cherry blossom season! Ueno Park, with its beautiful sakura-lined paths, becomes a breathtaking sight in spring. Walking around the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is also a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle.
Tokyos Famous Architecture Tokyos famous skyline will have you taking photo after photo: from the towering Tokyo Skytree to the innovative design of the Tokyo International Forum.
