Tokyo is located 60 kilometers west of Narita International Airport, and it takes about an hour to 90 minutes to get to Tokyo by express train or limousine bus.
Since Tokyo is located at the heart of Japan, Tokyo serves as a hub to go to many other cities in Japan. Using a bullet train or a domestic flight, you can go to other famous Japanese sightseeing destinations, such as Kyoto or Nara within a few hours. Nikko, Kamakura, Hakone are also appealing destinations for 1-day trips from Tokyo.
Various expansion projects are in progress in the hotel industry and at Haneda Airport to welcome more foreign travelers to Tokyo. By 2016, we will be ready to accommodate as many as 10 million visitors per year.
Tokyo attracts many people from around the world.
Tokyo is changing its appearance almost everyday. Recently, we have seen massive urban developments in three key areas of Tokyo.
Marunouchi, Shiodome and Roppongi, are new developing areas in the southern part of Tokyo that give birth to many new trends and cultures. These three places have become tourist spots and are attracting more visitors than ever.
On the other hand, Tokyo's eastern areas including Asakusa still retain their 300-year old, Edo-era culture and atmosphere, and continue to be must-see spots for tourists.
Tokyo is a city that boasts a truly unique blend of traditional and modern aspects coexisting in harmony.
