Sci-fi cityscape with an ancient soul
Discover Japan‘s capital, a city of excitement and bright neon lights set against the backdrop of the vast and towering Mount Fuji. Tokyo’s contemporary architecture is almost entirely modern as the city was largely rebuilt after the Second World War. The new city was centred on a sophisticated rail system, giving the city an exhilarating, futuristic aspect.
Despite being home to more than 13 million inhabitants, this dazzling sci-fi cityscape hides a surprising amount of green spaces – there are no fewer than four national parks – which are particularly lovely in the spring when the cherry blossom blooms. Not to be missed is Ogasawara National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the beautiful gardens surrounding the Imperial Palace.
Considered to be an alpha+ world city, Tokyo is a city of many passions. From karaoke to sake, there is an unlimited choice of entertainment and as the recipient of by far the most Michelin stars of any city in the world, it’s restaurant heaven.
