Tokyo is Japan’s bustling capital city, mixed with everything from traditional to ultramodern, from historic temples to neon-lit skyscrapers. The city is home to a plethora of edgy designer boutiques, mega-malls, award-winning architecture, and world-renowned cuisine. From saucer-eyed schoolgirls to giant robots to a particular, ubiquitous kitty, Japan’s pop culture has become a major phenomenon that has swept the globe. Tokyo has so much to offer, from a sushi breakfast at the world-famous Tsukiji Fish Market to getting lost in the nation’s vast history at the Tokyo National Museum to strolling through the verdant gardens at the Imperial Palace or Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. No Tokyo trip would be complete without a visit to the opulent and spiritual Meiji Shrine. Tokyo Map
