Tokyo is one of the world's great cities — a place where the ancient and the ultramodern coexist with seamless efficiency. Shinjuku's neon towers, Asakusa's Senso-ji temple, Shibuya's crossing, Harajuku's street fashion, Tsukiji's fish market, the serene Meiji Shrine in a forest in the middle of a megacity — Tokyo constantly surprises. The food alone warrants the trip: more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city, world-class ramen on every corner, and izakayas where you can eat magnificently for $15 per head. Getting around is a masterpiece of logistics — the train network is the world's best.
