tokyo

Tokyo, Japan is a modern city with skyscrapers and neon lights lining the busy streets. However, as cosmopolitan a city as Tokyo may be, it is still rich in tradition and it's just a few steps outside the city limits before the ancient culture is revealed. Mount Fuji is just a short train ride from Tokyo and is a perfectly shaped dormant volcano. From Hakone you can see amazing views of Mount Fuji.

While in Hakone enjoy the hot springs that the city is famous for. Tokyo hotels offer luxury beyond compare and many companies provide Tokyo travel guides so that visitors can get the most out of their stay. Shop in The Tsukiji Market or the shopping arcade during the day, and then discover the exciting night life that is come to be a part of the modern culture of Tokyo.


Tokyo is a populated city with many points of interest both historic in nature and contemporary. Blogs on Tokyo such as Planet Tokyo provide accurate reviews of restaurants, the best places to shop and of course those places to avoid as well as unique photographs and cultural stories about this beautiful and ancient city.
