Holidays To Tokyo

Holidays in Tokyo offer the best of both worlds, from leading edge tech and modern architecture to historic temples and areas steeped in tradition, all served by a first-rate public transport network.

Discover ancient traditions at the Sensoji Temple. It’s Tokyo’s oldest temple and dates back to the 7th century. History lovers will also enjoy a visit to the one hundred year old Meji Shrine. For a complete contrast, take in the Tokyo Skytree, a broadcasting tower which, at a mighty 634 metres, currently stands as the world’s tallest tower.

Nakamise Street, near Asakusa Station, is one of Tokyo’s prime shopping streets. It’s lined with dozens of shops selling traditional souvenirs, snacks, and sweets. Another shopping zone not to miss is the Shibuya shopping district. Expect a busy tangle of shopping malls, crossings and independent stores. Shibuya draws in younger fashionistas, particularly the Shibuya 109 shopping mall, which is packed with the cute and distinctive women’s fashions worn by local trendsetters.

A feast for the senses on Tokyo holidays

The first-time visitor will likely find Tokyo holidays a full-on sensory overload. The busy main roads are thronged with traffic and neon, but there’s always a quiet side street you can escape down to discover some excellent ramen, complete with ancient wooden houses and neatly-trimmed bonsai trees.

You’ll never be stuck for something to do here. Take in a sumo tournament, a fashion show or a kabuki play, pop into a welcoming izakaya for a flask of sake, or buy a quirky gift to take home at a 24-hour vending machine. The choices for your holiday in Tokyo are limited only by your imagination.
