About Tokio

Neonverlichte wijken, stille heiligdommen, voortreffelijk eten en eigen buurten vormen Tokio, een uitgestrekte, ordelijke metropool vol stipte treinen.

Elke wijk voelt als een eigen stad. De beroemde kruising van Shibuya en de torens, bars en steegjes van Golden Gai in Shinjuku gonzen van energie, terwijl Harajuku jeugdmode combineert met de beboste rust van het Meiji Jingu-heiligdom. In Asakusa houden de Sensō-ji-tempel en zijn winkelstraat een ouder Tokio in leven, en Ginza biedt gepolijste warenhuizen en galeries.

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