Tokyo
"The Big Persimmon"

Rainbow Bridge & Tokyo Tower

The glowing night skyline of Tokyo, the stunningly futuristic, maddeningly frantic capital of Japan and the world's most populated city. This huge, wealthy and fascinating metropolis brings high-tech visions of the future side by side with antiquity.

Sensoji Temple in Asakusa

Asakusa is a part of Tokyo's downtown Taito district best known for its many temples, particularly Sensoji. Sensoji, also known as Asakusa Kannon, is Tokyo's largest Buddhist temple and a major attraction for Japanese and visitors alike.

Shinjuku District

The Shinjuku District and Tokyo as a whole is filled with neon lighting and unique, contemporary architecture, and like New York City is also often portrayed in movies for its aesthetic and eye-catching cityscapes.

Tokyo Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace (Kokyo), built in 1457, lies on the former site of Edo Castle, a large park area surrounded by moats and massive stone walls in the center of Tokyo, a short walk from Tokyo Station. It is the residence of Japan's Imperial Family.

Sushi Bar in Tokyo

Eating good sushi is a must for visitors to Tokyo, home to some of the best sushi restaurants in the world. Presentation can be on traditional square wooden plates or the popular Kaiten Zushi style where diners pick from a sushi conveyor belt.

Tokyo has been the administrative center of Japan since the 1600s. Until the 1860s the Emperor exercised only symbolic rule from his palace in Kyoto, while those at the apex of the warrior class ran the country from their castle in Tokyo. Kyoto was the repository of tradition, Tokyo the seat of power—still to this day. Although Tokyo remains the administrative and political center of Japan, not to mention having also become its cultural center, stray off the ‘yellow brick roads’ lined with skyscrapers and you will find its very down-home side. Enormous Tokyo has rightly been called a city of inter-connected villages. In total, the conurbation is overwhelming and disorienting: a sea of streets, buildings, overhead highways and telephone wires.
