About Tokio

Neonviertel, stille Schreine, großartiges Essen und eigenständige Stadtteile prägen Tokio, eine riesige, geordnete Metropole mit pünktlichen Zügen.

Jeder Stadtteil fühlt sich wie eine eigene Stadt an. Shibuyas berühmte Kreuzung und Shinjukus Türme, Bars und Gassen von Golden Gai pulsieren vor Energie, während Harajuku Jugendmode mit der waldigen Ruhe des Meiji-Schreins verbindet. In Asakusa halten der Sensō-ji-Tempel und seine Marktstraße ein älteres Tokio lebendig, und Ginza bietet gepflegte Kaufhäuser und Galerien.
