The essential Tokyo

The experiences a first trip is built around — the digital-art museum everyone queues for, a sumo morning, a night through Shinjuku’s back-alley bars, and the long day out to Fuji.

Beyond the city

Mt Fuji, and the long way back.

On a clear day the mountain fills the bus window from the Fifth Station; most trips loop through Hakone’s ropeway and a cruise on Lake Ashi, then the shinkansen home. The single most-booked day in Tokyo.

After dark

Shinjuku doesn’t sleep.

Golden Gai’s six-seat bars, yakitori smoke under the train tracks, a guide who knows which door to open. These are the food and bar crawls worth staying out for.

The old city

Where Tokyo keeps its past.

Senso-ji’s lanterns, a samurai’s stance, the hush of a tea room a few streets from the crowds. The old capital still shows here — temples, craft and the ceremonies behind them.
