With more than 8 million people residing in the city centre, Tokyo is one of the biggest cities in the world. A true metropolis, the sheer level of energy is the most striking aspect of Japan's amazing capital city. Busy streets are lined with specialist shops, bustling restaurants, flashing neon and giant television sets blasting from the sides of buildings, which combine to form an intoxicating downtown precinct. Just around the corner of the soaring city centre exist pockets of another Tokyo - an old wooden house, a kimono shop, a Japanese inn, an old lady in a kimono sweeping the pavement outside her home with a straw broom. More than anything else, Tokyo is a place where the urgent rhythms of consumer culture collide with the quieter moments that linger from older traditions. It is a living city with endless things to explore. Tokyo boasts an abundance of tourist attractions guaranteed to enthrall even the most discerning of travelers. From the natural beauty of Mt Takao to the sophisticated shopping of Tokyo Midtown, cultural relics like Senso-ji Buddhist Temple through to the captivating National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo offers something special for everyone.
