Tokyo

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is an energetic city where history and the future intersect. Once known as "Edo," the city developed as the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate and is now one of the world's centers of economy and culture. At "Sensoji" in Asakusa you can feel the charm of old Edo, and at Meiji Shrine you are enveloped in a stillness that makes you forget the bustle of the city. In terms of nature, there are "Shinjuku Gyoen," which boasts vast greenery despite its location in the city center, and "Ueno Onshi Park," where you can enjoy the scenery of each season, offering respite from busy daily life. Tokyo's food culture is also highly acclaimed worldwide, satisfying every palate, from traditional Edomae sushi and tempura to cuisines from around the globe and the latest sweets. The real thrill of Tokyo is that each area shows a different face, from modern landmarks such as the Shibuya Scramble Crossing and Tokyo Skytree to the subculture of Akihabara. The transportation network is also highly developed, making it possible to visit a wide variety of sights in a short time. With new discoveries on every visit, Tokyo continues to captivate travelers from around the world.
