Tokyo
Tokyo is an exciting and lively metropolis that thrives off people and life. It is futuristic yet charming and offers up excitement and energy at every turn with some truly weird and wonderful sites.
Tokyo is an example of modern Japan testing the boundaries of tradition. One of the largest and busiest cities in the world, visitors are greeted by buildings constructed in every available space and raised expressways winding across the urban landscapes high above crowded walkways.
The public transport system is bewilderingly efficient, eateries range from traditional street food to Michelin standard and skyscrapers and temples sit alongside picturesque waterways and parks.
What to do in Tokyo
Part of the joy of Tokyo is just wandering and soaking up the sights and sounds. A kaleidoscope of futuristic and ancient Tokyo is brimming with Japanese arts and cultures, museums, galleries, beautiful shrines and temples and a fabulous food scene. Use the amazingly efficient public transport to explore parks, palaces and waterways, from the Imperial Palace to the Senso-Ji Temple. At dusk, neon lighting brings a surreal glow to the city and dawn is the perfect time to experience Tsukiji Fish Market, the world’s largest seafood markets.

Paul is the Conde Nast Traveller chosen Specialist for Central Asia and the Silk Route.
Being from a family with Army connections I can from an early age remember travelling. From camping in Europe and then later being sent to boarding school when we lived in Germany at the age of eight, complete with shorts, long socks, a cap and my suitcase. In appearance not too dissimilar to the children evacuated to the countryside during the blitz.

Clare Higginson
It was my passion for languages that first encouraged me to leave the UK behind and grab my rucksack. Since then, it’s been a mixture of intriguing cultures, jaw-dropping landscapes and the wonder of seeing animals in their natural habitat that sees me continuously extending my travel wish list.
