Tokyo
Japan✦ Newly added destination
Tokyo 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.

Tokyo, in a few questions.
The short, honest answers — the long version is one chat away.
Tokyo is enjoyable year-round, but spring and autumn are especially comfortable for walking and exploring outdoors. Summer can be hot and humid, while winter is often crisp and clear.
