About Tokyo

Neonbelyste bydeler, stille helligdommer, fantastisk mat og særpregede nabolag utgjør Tokyo, en enorm, velordnet storby forbundet av punktlige tog.

Hver bydel føles som sin egen by. Shibuyas berømte fotgjengerkryss og Shinjukus tårn, barer og smug i Golden Gai pulserer av energi, mens Harajuku blander ungdomsmote med skogkledd ro ved Meiji Jingu-helligdommen. I Asakusa holder Sensō-ji-tempelet og dets markedsgate et eldre Tokyo i live, og Ginza byr på elegante varehus og gallerier.

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