Tokyo, Japan

Things to do in Tokyo

Twenty-three wards, a thousand small counters

Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighbourhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product.
