🇯🇵 Tokyo

Few regions in the world combine landscape, people, and history like Tokyo. The largest and most orderly city in the world: futuristic technology, millennial tradition, sushi and ramen, and a courtesy that leaves you speechless. This urban destination is located in the Kanto region of Japan, and blends a unique atmosphere with a tourism offering that justifies the trip on its own.

The must‑see sights in Tokyo include Shibuya Crossing, Senso‑ji in Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree, Akihabara for electronics and anime, and Harajuku’s Takeshita Street. If you have more time, you should also set aside space for Shinjuku Gyoen garden, a Mount Fuji excursion, Tsukiji fish market, and the Teamlab planetarium, which many travelers consider among the most authentic experiences in the area. Each of these spots has its own character and its best time of day: plan your visits calmly, without overloading the schedule.

Tokyo’s cuisine is one of its top attractions. Don’t leave without trying sushi at Tsukiji market, ramen in Shinjuku, tempura, yakitori, matcha everywhere, and conveyor‑belt sushi. The local food is part of the journey: seek out markets, lively terraces, and small bars where locals eat. Japanese cuisine has a strong identity, and here you find it in its most representative form.

The best time to visit Tokyo is March‑April for cherry blossoms, and October‑November, when the weather is pleasant and crowds are more manageable. The local climate is classified as humid continental, with hot summers and cold winters, so pack accordingly. As for budget, plan around €200 per day per person, making it a destination suited for generous budgets. The ideal trip length is 7–10 days to see the main highlights without feeling rushed.

Some tips that make a difference: The JR Pass is worth it if you travel around Japan; vending machines are cheap and essential; there is no tipping—it’s considered an insult to staff; a pocket Wi‑Fi or local SIM is indispensable.
