Flights to Tokyo
Tokyo is the capital of Japan and has one the largest populations in the world, with 13 million. The city encompasses the southwestern part of the Kanto region, the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands.
It is an exciting, vibrant city where old meets new. Here, ancient buildings like the opulent Meiji Shinto Shrine and the Imperial Palace rub shoulders with structures like Skytree, the world’s tallest broadcast tower and observation deck, and dramatic, neon-lit skyscrapers.
Tokyo is a mecca for shopping. Options include Akihabara, a town renowned for its plethora of electronics stores; Tsukiji, a popular open-air wholesale food market; and Ginza, a retail district renowned for its famous shops.
The city has experienced great tragedy, including a devastating earthquake in 1923 and intense bombing during World War II. But it has endured all that to become a global economic and cultural powerhouse. Fascinating museums are plentiful, including the Tokyo National Museum, Nihon Minkae (Japanese Open-Air Folk House Museum), Okhotsk Sea Ice Museum of Hokkaido, and the Paper Museum.
