Tokyo - Capital of modernity and tradition

If you love the culture of the land of the rising sun, Tokyo is the dream destination for you. With a miniature Japan recreated in one stop, Tokyo wears the flashy and sparkling coat of a sleepless metropolis, but hidden in the noisiest corners are also quiet and classic spaces. Plan to pack your backpack and go, because from September to November will be the most favorable weather for a complete trip to Tokyo.

Beauty scene

1. Shibuya: Don't miss the opportunity to "slow down in the middle of a busy world" at Shibuya intersection - one of the symbols of bustling and dynamic Tokyo. The rhythm here is associated with the activities of Shibuya station, which welcomes more than 3 million tourists to Tokyo every day and is also a fashion and entertainment shopping center for young people with hundreds of famous brands. 2. Asakusa: Leaving behind the flashy electric boards and high-rise buildings of the modern world when traveling around Tokyo, visitors can go back in time to an ancient Tokyo of the Edo period in Asakusa. The path to explore Asakusa often begins with a step through Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) - the symbol of the city, walking through Nakamise street in the smoke of incense and sincerely donating a 5 Yen coin at the sacred Sensoji temple. Cuisine

Known as the culinary capital of the world, delicious eateries in Tokyo range from snack streets to high-class restaurants. Be a curious tourist exploring Japanese noodle specialties on Ramen Street at Tokyo Station, or let yourself get lost in the bustling Shinjuku with the “war of scents” from yakitori (chicken skewers), takoyaki (octopus balls), okonomiyaki (pancakes), etc. Tokyo is also a paradise for gourmets with the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. You can treat your senses to a luxurious feast of Asian-European culinary quintessence in Ginza - Japan's most upscale culinary district.

An experience not to be missed when traveling to Tokyo is attending the 3am tuna auction at Tsukiji fish market and enjoying fresh sushi or sashimi at the world's largest seafood market.

Work

When it comes to Tokyo, people are often fascinated by the image of the city at night, lit up by billboards, colorful neon signs and legends from comics. And you can experience these things firsthand in Akihabara - the electronics district and paradise for otaku (comics and animation enthusiasts). Here, visitors can freely shop for electronic products sold duty-free, as well as visit and explore Japanese comics and animation culture through shops and cafes.

Activities in Tokyo are always diverse and suitable for all ages. This is the only place in the world with Disneysea where young people can experience water games and fully explore the vast "ocean world" of Disney. If traveling to Tokyo with family with the elderly and children, visitors can visit the Tokyo Imperial Palace to find historical values, stroll in the grounds of the Meiji Shrine to worship Emperor Meiji, or visit the famous Ghibli Museum associated with the childhood of many people.
