Travel guide: what to do and see in Tokyo
Tourist Gem: Metrópolis del futuro
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is a metropolis that fuses tradition and avant-garde. The Shibuya Crossing and the neon lights of Shinjuku represent modern Tokyo. The Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa and the Meiji Jingu Shrine offer a traditional contrast.
The Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Skytree provide panoramic views. The Tsukiji Fish Market (now in Toyosu) is famous for its tuna auctions. Akihabara is a paradise for electronics and otaku culture.
The Imperial Palace, surrounded by gardens, is the historic heart of the city. Harajuku and Omotesando are centers of fashion and design. Ueno Park houses several important museums.
Tokyo's gastronomy ranges from world-class sushi to street ramen. Onsen (hot springs) offer relaxation amidst the urban bustle.
Tokyo surprises with its efficiency, innovation, and cultural contrasts, offering a unique urban experience in Asia.
