Tokyo
JapanTokyo is a city of vivid contrasts, where neon-lit districts, tucked-away shrines, and tiny ramen counters can all fit into the same day. It rewards curious travellers who like to wander between fast-moving neighbourhoods and quieter pockets, with each area offering its own food culture, shopping streets, and atmosphere. Come hungry, keep your plans flexible, and stay out late if you want to see the city at its most electric.

How many days do you need in Tokyo?
7 days is the right length for a first trip to Tokyo. Tokyo is a cluster of cities: Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa and Ginza each deserve most of a day, plus a food-market morning. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Nikko, Kamakura or Hakone.
