Tokyo holidays

Big-city discoveries, one neighbourhood at a time.

Tokyo is easier to enjoy when each day has a local focus. Pair major interests in food, design or culture with neighbourhood walks, allowing time to understand the transport system and settle into the city.

Tokyo

Make it your kind of trip.

Older neighbourhoods

Explore Asakusa and nearby streets with room for smaller shops and a relaxed meal.

Contemporary Tokyo

Choose the districts that match your interests rather than crossing the city for every famous junction.

A quieter interval

Build in a garden or museum visit as a contrast to busy shopping and station areas.
