Tokyo is a city of striking contrasts, where futuristic skyscrapers and neon-lit streets stand alongside peaceful shrines, temples, and gardens. While renowned for pop culture, fashion, and innovation, the city remains deeply rooted in tradition, as reflected in landmarks such as the Imperial Palace and historic districts. Escape the energy in tranquil spaces such as Hamarikyu Gardens, or explore vibrant areas like Asakusa, Harajuku, Tsukiji, and Shinjuku. Despite its reputation for being expensive, Tokyo offers many affordable dining options and memorable experiences, making it an exciting and accessible destination.
Hakone is famous for its hot springs, outdoor pursuits, and the occasional views of Mount Fuji. Part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park and located less than 100 kilometres from the capital, Hakone is a popular weekend destination for Tokyoites looking to escape the big city frenzy for a few days.
Kyoto is one of Japan’s must-see destinations. The city is the former capital of Japan and residence of the emperor from 794 until 1868. Today, it is Japan’s seventh largest metropolis with a population of around 1.4 million and a rich culture that offers a plethora of temples, shrines and other stunning and historically significant structures.
