A futuristic technological hub that still manages to preserve traditional Japanese culture, Tokyo provides a wealth of unforgettable experiences for all kinds of travelers.

Tokyo's diverse neighborhoods offer a unique opportunity for exploration, each with its own distinctive character. While vibrant areas like Harajuku and Shinjuku exude futuristic vibes with eccentric fashion trends and colorful billboards, serene neighborhoods like Yanesen showcase ancient temples and maintain a sense of traditional Japanese history.

To delve deeper into Tokyo's culture, make sure to explore the ancient and strikingly ruby-colored temples scattered throughout the city, including the well-known Senso-ji and Meiji Jingu. Another must-visit spot is the 634-meter tall Tokyo Skytree, which offers stunning views of the vast neon-lit cityscape. From there, take the opportunity to unwind at one of the city’s many gardens, such as Ueno Onshi Park and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

For a glimpse into Japan’s intriguing history, pay a visit to some of the city's iconic landmarks. Among the top attractions are Meiji Jingu, Nezu Shrine, and the Imperial Palace.

The Japanese capital also serves as an excellent launchpad for day trips, with the city of Odawara being easily accessible via a 75-minute train ride from Tokyo Station. Located in western Kanagawa Prefecture, be sure to start your trip by exploring Odawara Castle, which has been beautifully restored from Edo-period drawings. You can also indulge in a sumptuous meal of ‘donburi’ (rice bowl dish) at Odawara Fish Market Den, located just a stone’s throw away from the fishing port. To cap off your visit, take a leisurely stroll in the Tsujimura Botanical Gardens.

Before traveling with Cathay Pacific, book your stay at one of Tokyo’s premier and most renowned hotels. We recommend staying at the MESM Tokyo for its spectacular waterfront views and Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills as it is in close proximity to major attractions, such as the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Tower. Discover and redeem incredible rewards, including room upgrades, access to premier lounges, and additional miles on top of what you earn when flying with Cathay Pacific.

Explore the culinary delights Tokyo has to offer, starting with Sushi Saito - a Michelin starred restaurant known for offering one of the best sushi experiences in Tokyo. Try their ‘omakase’ (chef's choice) menu to sample the freshest and finest selections of sushi. Alternatively, you can indulge in the ‘tonkatsu’ (breaded and deep-fried pork cutlets) that Katsukura specializes in. Be sure to also sample the 'hire katsu’ - their signature dish that consists of tenderloin cutlet served with miso soup, rice, and cabbage salad. We also recommend enjoying sushi by the waterfront in Odaiba, savoring a plate of ‘soba’ (buckwheat noodles) in Chiyoda City, or tucking into a steaming bowl of ramen in Shibuya.
