What to do and see in Tokyo, Kanto: The Best Railways

April 28, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

The experience of travelling on the Shinkansen trains is incredible, sleek, smooth ride and very fast, efficient and on time! Added bonus of seeing majestic Mount Fuji en-route made it extra special. Japan Rail Pass enables unlimited usage of the JR train network including most of the Shinkansen "Bullet Trains" this is an absolute essential to buy for anyone travelling to Japan.
