To reach the city centre from Narita International Airport, taxis are the most convenient option, taking about 40 minutes. Another option is taking the Keisei Narita Skyaccess train directly from the airport, which will bring you to Nihombashi Station in the vibrant central Chuo City district in about an hour.

The world’s largest city, Tokyo is an unforgettable travel destination that perfectly blends futuristic attractions and culture with ancient Japanese heritage.

Begin your trip with a visit to one of Tokyo’s many vibrant and exciting neighbourhoods such as Akihabara, Harajuku, and Shinjuku. These districts are all centrally-located, boast futuristic billboards and gaming arcades, and are the perfect place to get a taste of Tokyo’s uniquely colourful culture and fashion. In the north of the city, you’ll find Yanesen, where you can explore Tokyo’s ancient temples and shrines, such as Nezu Shrine, Meiji Jingu, and 1,300-year-old Senso-ji.

For an authentic immersion into Japan's captivating tea culture, treat yourself to the Sakurai Tea Experience. Located in the bustling Aoyama district, this unique establishment puts a modern spin on the traditional tea ceremony, featuring exquisite Japanese teas infused with volcanic spring water from the southern regions of Japan. Even after the sun sets, the enchantment continues with an impressive selection of expertly crafted cocktails.

For a peaceful retreat from the city, visit one of Tokyo's beautiful gardens, such as Ueno Onshi Park or Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. These stunning havens allow you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. If you're traveling in April, these gardens are the perfect spot to see the cherry blossoms in all their glory.

Japan’s famous ‘shinkansen’ (bullet train) is one of the fastest in the world, meaning you are an easy day trip away from attractions outside of the city. We recommend journeying to one of several ‘onsens’ (hot springs) that overlook Mount Fuji – Lake Kawaguchiko Onsen and Hakone Onsen are two of the most popular.

Tokyo is a food lover's dream, with a wide selection of delicious dishes and delicacies to sample. Start by trying Ramen, a savoury noodle soup with endless variations. You can choose from a large range of broths, toppings, and noodle types, making the perfect meal for even the pickiest of eaters. While you’re here, don't miss out on trying tempura, a dish of battered and deep-fried seafood and vegetables. The light and crispy batter paired with fresh ingredients makes for a delicious and satisfying meal. If you have a sweet tooth, don't miss out on trying some Japanese desserts. Traditional sweets such as mochi (sticky rice cakes) and daifuku (sweet red bean paste-filled mochi) can be found at most convenience stores and supermarkets.
