Tokyo, the major city of Japan brings the most modern wonders of technology, commerce and architecture side by side with the deep rooted culture, and has something for everyone.
Main Attractions in Tokyo
Tokyo Tower affords excellent views of the bay and the space-age architecture on Rainbow Town (O-daiba), a reclaimed island. To the east, Shinjuku's bustling shopping and neon-lit nightlife districts contrast strongly with the calm beauty of the neighbouring Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. For a taste of 'Old Tokyo', the downtown Shitamachi area is the place to head for. The Asakusa Temple is the area's main tourist draw, a vibrant Buddhist complex approached via a colourful shopping lane. Geeks or not, you will find shopping at Akihabara, for electronics and IT products, an great enjoyment.
Travel Tips in Tokyo
Narita Airport is 65 km East of Tokyo. A shuttle bus links the airport with major hotels in the city centre. Tickets for all services can be bought in the terminals. Japan Railways' reservation-only Narita Express line runs from Narita station terminal located beneath the airport to Tokyo station (travel time - one hour), Shinjuku (travel time - 90 minutes) and Yokohama (travel time - 105 minutes).
