Abstract street design, towering skyscrapers and endless food outlets – Tokyo wholeheartedly lives up to its increasingly appealing reputation. Decorated in such outlandish and striking architecture, Japan’s capital city lends itself to a reputation of inauthentic, modern technology that belies its naturally verdant aesthetics. Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a mecca of natural bliss, adorned in endless stretches of greenery, wholesome forestry and beautiful foliage that will tempt you into indulging in a challenging walk across the terrain. The abundance of natural beauty is refreshing amidst the sea of gargantuan buildings, but the unique and innovative designs that encompass the city steal the limelight. The contrasts of the districts create a constantly fascinating spectacle; futuristic imagery is projected alongside traditional Japanese entertainment such as sumo wrestling. Head to Shogun’s City to really embrace the paradoxical bonanza - the region in itself is worth the trip to Japan alone - though it would be unforgivable to miss out on the city’s more prominent landmarks; the giant malls, sci-fi streets and Tokyo Sky Tree, the world’s tallest tower, are particular highlights.
A city as impressive built as Tokyo is bound to have a plethora of transport options, so just pick whatever one is easiest for you. Subway, trains, rental cars, bicycle and taxis are all readily available, making it one of the best cities to manoeuvre around.
Looking out across the beautiful landscape of Shikinejima, you’ll find it hard to believe you’re only a few miles from Tokyo. Luxurious beaches interspersed by natural hot springs decorate the shoreline – the island has become a mecca of idyllic water and stunning surroundings. It’s rare for such a beautiful island to have an attraction outside of the golden sands of the beach, but the hot springs are the jewel in Shikinejima’s crown; many travel to the island purely to bathe in the warm water whilst overlooking the endless stretch of blue sea that descends into the horizon. The temperature fluctuates greatly and can become extremely hot amidst the peak of the summer sun – for a reliably tranquil experience, head there in the evening and bask in the starry skied beauty. The hot springs may bogart the limelight, but the beaches are still an ideal way to while away a pleasant afternoon. Tomari Beach, towards the north of the island, is the most popular; the surrounding rocky mountainside and desolate coves provide an alluring setting, and the neighbouring beach of O-ura is a haven for snorkelling around the calm waters.
The island is very small, covering 3.9 square kilometres in total, so it is possible to cover the entirety of it by foot.
