Tokyo

At once dynamic in its youth culture, and stoic in its treasured history, Tokyo is truly a world of its own. There's so much to see, taste and experience that it seems no matter how many times one visits the Japanese capital, you've barely scratched the surface—which is fine by us. We'll take any excuse to hop on a flight to Tokyo.

It goes without saying that dining is a highlight for travellers—from restaurants that showcase the country's incredible seasonal ingredients, to institutions helmed by the city's shokunin—masters of their craft who are bringing sacred culinary traditions into the future. 

Wander through its vibrant neighbourhoods, each with their own unique charms: Explore quaint cafes and vintage shops in Shimokitazawa; enjoy a night at a rowdy izakaya followed by a lively bar hop in districts like Nakameguro and Ebisu; or shop to your heart's content in Ginza and Shibuya. 

Whatever you choose to do, Tokyo is never a bad idea.
