The best of Tokyo — temples, markets and hidden streets

Tokyo (東京) is a huge, wealthy and fascinating metropolis which brings high-tech visions of the future side by side with glimpses of old Japan, and has something for everyone. It’s a feast for the senses, offering an incredible array of experiences for any visitor.

Most visitors to Tokyo will visit the most well-known sights – Asakusa, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku and the Meiji Shrine.

These are all of course worth visiting, but Tokyo also offer a multitude of choices for travelers looking for a less touristy and typical Japanese experience.

The real charm of Tokyo is more discreet. We can discover it in the maze of streets behind the main one, with a village atmosphere, miles away from urban life.

It is warm and simple, full of nice shops with clean design as well as charming cafes and small bars… Our local experts can attest, straying off the beaten tourist path is the best way to get a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Tokyo.

Tokyo is also a culinary paradise, offering a diverse array of flavors that will entice any visitor.
