Why visit Tokyo

• Tokyo (Edo) became Japan’s political centre under the Tokugawa shoguns and the modern capital after the Meiji Restoration.
• It is a dense constellation of cities-within-a-city: Shinjuku, Shibuya, Asakusa, Ginza each have distinct roles.
• World-class transit, seasonal festivals, and obsessive food craft make it uniquely navigable despite scale.
• Temples and gardens preserve quieter layers beside neon districts.
