East and west, old and new, a mix of concrete buildings, electrical cables, traffic and people everywhere. The pulse of Tokyo is high, but if you are a fan of big city breaks then a week in one of the world’s most fascinating metropolis is a unique experience!
Tokyo is not just one city. Tokyo consists of a number or areas each with their own characteristic. In the northeast part of Tokyo you can find the cultural and popular Tokyo with a lot of museums gathered around the Ueno Park. In the area north of the park close to the Yanaka cemetery you can see the genuine Tokyo, Shitamachi with an authentic and peaceful atmosphere. If you go west you have Asakusa and Nakamise Street where you can buy everything from souvenirs to genuine art crafts. The streets run to the most famous of Tokyo’s temples, Asakusa Kannon with the big red rice paper lamp. South of Asakusa is “electric City” Akihabara which is an infernal of electronic and machinery. In the heart of Tokyo is the imperial palace with the huge park. Not far from the park is Ginza with the most expensive land prices in the world.
This area also contains more exclusive boutiques and brands than any were else in the world. Half way through the central Tokyo is Roppongi, the amusement area with restaurants, bars, discos, clubs and nightlife second to none. In the western part of Tokyo is Shinjuku which have more than 3 millions people passing through it train station every day. This is a modern center with numerous skyscrapers on the western side of the station and big shopping malls and fashion boutiques on the eastern side. Just south of the station is the smart and trendy part of Tokyo: Shibuya. While Aoyama is still sophisticated and cosmopolitan, Then Shibuya is a shopping Mecca for the young generations. And here you also find Harajuku, the world’s center for avant-garde fashion where young people gather and dress up on Sundays. And like an oasis in the middle of all this modern and futuristic is the Meiji temple with the gigantic Torii (entrance portal). 

Tokyo is too big to experience the city by walking. Public transportation is working perfect and is recommendable. However we also recommend you not to have your debut is the rush hour.
