About Tokyo

Quartieri al neon, santuari silenziosi, cucina superba e zone distinte compongono Tokyo, vasta e ordinata metropoli collegata da treni puntuali.

Ogni distretto sembra una città a sé. Il famoso incrocio di Shibuya e le torri, i bar e i vicoli di Golden Gai a Shinjuku pulsano di energia, mentre Harajuku unisce la moda giovanile alla calma boscosa del santuario Meiji Jingu. Ad Asakusa il tempio Sensō-ji e la sua via commerciale mantengono viva una Tokyo più antica, e Ginza offre grandi magazzini eleganti e gallerie.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
