Welcome to Tokyo!
With its glittery high-rise buildings, ultra-modern efficiencies, and bullet-train lifestyle, it is hard to believe that Tokyo was once a sleepy fishing village. Now home to more than 13 million people, this shrine to the newest and best is also a sanctuary of ancient Buddhist temples and zen gardens. Each neighbourhood is ripe for exploring, in a city offering untold delights for those seeking a modern metropolis with a healthy side of tradition.
