Fast-paced, futuristic, and phenomenal, Tokyo is a thrilling, dazzling, and often confounding city. Nowhere on earth skillfully weaves technology and tradition together quite as well as the Japanese capital, which is as devoted to cutting edge fashion trends as long-established rituals. Travelers will never tire of things to do in Tokyo, whether they want to live it up on the neon-washed streets of Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ginza; visit landmarks like the Sensoji Temple and the Tokyo Skytree; or eat their way around the city’s paper lantern-lit backstreets. Whatever you do, make time to linger in the Imperial Palace, built by Emperor Meiji during the country’s flowering Meiji Restoration period.
