EXPLORE TOKYO

TOTAL GUIDE TO TOKYO When it comes to luxury, Tokyo beats them all. This is the capital of a culture obsessed with quality and convenience. And food. You can eat more memorable meals during one week in Tokyo than the rest of the year anywhere else. And you will receive an incredible standard of customer service here – that starts with a smile and ends with a bow. Tokyo is still the world’s largest metropolis, and now is a smart time to visit. There is a buzz in the air as the city’s 13 million people look beyond Rio to hosting the 2020 Olympics. Haneda Airport’s newly expanded international terminal brings passengers amazingly close to the city center – with a smooth journey you could be strolling down the Ginza an hour after touchdown.
