A megalopolis with its heart firmly in the future
Tokyo makes a bold first impression. It's the frenetic, neon-clad megalopolis with a cacophonous street scene and station staff paid to stuff commuters into trains. It's a city of sensory overload in which trends appear and disappear faster than anyone can track. But it's also a remarkably harmonious and safe destination where everything runs on time. Tokyo is a great gourmet destination and has plenty to offer fans of design, anime, technology or art. In other words, it's one of the new must-see cities of the world.
