Message
Tokyo is the center of various activities in Japan including politics, economy and culture, offering interesting sights to see, a wide range of foods to try and the fusion of traditional, modern and natural elements. The best way to get to know Tokyo is to explore it on foot, so you'll get a real feel for Tokyo and a distinctive Japanese culture.
