The Japanese capital is one of the most iconic – and busiest – cities in the world. From its 24/7 lifestyle, incredible tidiness and blending of traditional Japanese and Western culture, Tokyo truly defines what it means to be a world-leading, ultra-modern megacity.

Some of the world’s most famous landmarks can be found in Tokyo – from the bustling Shibuya Crossing, the most photographed pedestrian road crossing in the world, to the Tokyo Tower – Japan’s answer to the Eiffel Tower. Tokyo also has a rich history, including the Senso-ji Temple, which is almost 1,400 years old.

The mixture of traditional Japanese culture and modern Western culture is found throughout Tokyo. Such examples include one of the world’s largest Disney theme parks, while cutting-edge digital technology adverts on buildings easily rival those of Times Square. With the addition of traditional Japanese art such as manga prevalent throughout the city, as well as traditional sumo wrestling spots, Tokyo is one of the most vibrant cities on the planet.

Despite being such a bustling city, there are also lots of dedicated green spaces in the Japanese capital. These include Yoyogi Park, Hamarikyu Gardens and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden – all of which offer peaceful retreats from the busy, non-stop lifestyle in Tokyo.
