One of the world’s great cities, Tokyo must be experienced to be believed. Truly massive, Tokyo lays claim to being the most populous city in the world and in every sense is the center of modern Japan. Once called 'Edo', Tokyo has acted as the capital since the early-17th century and has driven Japan from its feudal past through modernization, followed by the devastation of the mid-20th century and re-emergence as one of the most powerful economies in the world.

In doing so you’ll discover the many sides of Japan.
