Tokyo
Between neon-lit streets, soaring skyscrapers, and ancient Shinto shrines: your complete guide to Tokyo.
Our City Check for Tokyo
-
Flair
Tokyo pulls you in two directions at once — dazzling high-tech neighborhoods and centuries-old temples, side by side.
-
Best time to visit
Spring cherry blossoms and golden fall foliage are seriously stunning — these are the two best times to go.
-
Trip length
Give yourself at least five to seven days. Tokyo's neighborhoods are so different from each other, you'll want time to really explore.
-
Price level
Upscale overall, but street food and convenience stores (yes, really) keep it manageable on any budget.
-
Food
World-class sushi, steaming ramen, hearty okonomiyaki at izakayas — the food alone is worth the trip.
-
Getting around
The subway is one of the best in the world — super reliable, but seriously packed during rush hour.
