Tokyo Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Tokyo – the capital of Japan and the epitome of the word “megacity.” Our travel guide to Tokyo will help you plan an unforgettable stay in the city.

In this vast metropolis, ancient traditions blend with futuristic buildings, and your #Tokyo #sightseeing will showcase each and all. Visit the temples, splash out in the shopping districts and dine in style.

A #vacation in Tokyo means joining the 35 million people that live here, many of which you’ll meet as you #tour its many neighborhoods.

Explore Asakusa, a temple district nestled in leafy trees with skyscrapers towering in the background. There you’ll visit Nakamisi Dori, a street loaded with food vendors and religious charms. Get to know the Harajuku district, home to cutting-edge fashion, a thriving, youth-centered culture, and the famous Yoyogi Park. The park stands out in stern contrast to the rest of the neighborhood; this sprawling, 134-acre green space is where locals slow down after a frenzied week of work and play.


For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Having lived in Toronto and San Francisco, visited London, Rome, Paris, Seoul, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai. Tokyo truly blows the rest out of the water. Japanese people are by far the most polite, civilized, generous, hardworking and cultured people I've ever met. Tokyo's infrastructure, transportation and living standards is truly unmatched by any other city in the world in my opinion. God bless this beautiful country and the Japanese people.

Been to Japan twice and I'm going again March / April this coming year. Can't get enough of Japan with the excellent food, beautiful parks and great friendly people.

I traveled to Japan one month ago including Shizuoka, Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. Everything was amazing especially incredible subway, clean road, tasty food and beautiful Sakura as well. They’re so fantastic. When I watched this video, I found that many things which I didn’t explore in Tokyo. Hope I‘ll be there again in the future. Love Japan from Vietnam 🇻🇳

i just came back from Japan two days ago and seeing this video made me tear up! Japan was such a wonderful country and I got a lifes experience from it. Anyone going, please make the most of it! Go to every temple you see, buy everything you want, try all the food you can, you will not regret it unless you didnt do it!

I am a Japanese and I lived in Tokyo for four years when I was a student.
I lived in Shinjuku but I didn't go to Shinjuku Gyoen and even to Akihabara.
After watching your video, I know I can find lots of beautiful things I don't know from your video.
Tokyo is a very beautiful place and we can find more and more attractive things in Tokyo!!

I've been to so many cities around the globe, but Tokyo, Japan is by far my number one city. Filled with rich history and culture, beautiful scenery, delicious foods, and friendly locals! I love Tokyo! I am going back to revisit this year 2022.

I’ve been in Japan, many years ago, and it’s my pleasure to see this amazing country, beautiful places, well mannered people. Thumbs up to this country!👍

[cloudspinner]

I've wanted to travel to Japan for so many years~the land, architecture and the overall culture are stunning. Additionally, the people seem absolutely lovely. I hope to one day visit every town, city, and prefecture in Japan.

[evilregal]

I've been there 3 time, and I'm still not bored about it !
Thank you very much Expedia, I was able to learn new things too !

[Reformatt]

great video, very detailed and very well narrated! top view of Tokyo from mori tower is correct. I got a good one as well about 21 hidden secrets in Tokyo, some of the places not often visited by tourists. keep up the good work!

[nowgaku]

I know Japan has by far another vibes other than this universe.

[just_cade]

Tokyo is not "one of" the largest cities, it is the largest. It's like 3 of New York City, or 6 of Los Angeles. It is MASSIVE.

[MikeHawk-ksuv]

Brings back so many memories. Such an amazing city. Best in the world IMO.

[daisylopezartist]

I wish our streets in my country is as clean as I also admire Japan's vibrancy and openness to new technology...

[chandlertrotter]

Heading to Tokyo this summer and I cannot be more excited, this guide actually gave me a few more places I want to check out.

[drew-andresvogt]
