Sumida-Gawa River Cruise
posted by kgregory Getting down to the water really gives you another perspective on what makes this city tick...the waterways. You can see all sorts of things like fishermen, floating restaurants and even barges carrying all the rubbish! yum! Toyota Mega Web
posted by gqueer As a lover of all things Japanese and also a lover of cars you couldn't stop me going to this "car showroom"! The historic cars were amazing and the whole place was just totally badass. Hama Rikyu Garden
posted by fmosser Tokyo is so urbanised that it was a real treat to come and chill out in the park for a while! Pretty landscaped garden right by the river. Sony Building

posted by fhooker I met up with a friend in Tokyo for a couple of days on a tour of Japan and he took me here to this moutain for a days' hiking. So pretty and totally unexpected, a world apart from the stereoypical Tokyo experience. |
Tokyo is a hive of activity but its crowded streets never feel chaotic, order is kept with technology and progress taking precedence. The culture and people typify Japan, with the ultra-modern sitting alongside a reverence for the traditional. The speediest of Tokyo flights will wing its way from the UK in just under 12 hours, with the return journey taking a little less time. With two international airports, the Tokyo Narita International Airport and Haneda Airport, a flight to Tokyo can land you in one of two locations. The former is over 35 miles from the city but close to a rail link which will whisk you to the centre after Tokyo flights arrive. The latter is just nine miles from the centre of town but deals with domestic and short haul flights more often than cheap flights to Tokyo from the UK. Tokyo car hire is available from various major firms and at both of the nearby airports. The city itself is easily navigable thanks to a comprehensive subway network which is one of the best in the world. Buses are tougher to use as the destinations are rarely Anglicised and taxis can be expensive, so it is better to stick with a rented vehicle or the subway. To see a traditional shrine check out Miji-Jingu once you have tired of the modernity of Tokyo hotels. Fans of anime godfather Hayao Miyazaki will want to visit the Ghibli Museum whilst those looking for a modern art fix should head to the Poppongi Art Triangle where three museums await.Flights To Tokyo
