DK Eyewitness Tokyo

A sprawling metropolis where the past and future collide.

Whether you want to watch traditional Japanese theatre, sample Michelin-starred cuisine or take an unforgettable trip to Mount Fuji, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Tokyo has to offer.

A city that blends tradition seamlessly with the ultra-modern, visitors to Tokyo can be strolling amid serene shrines and peaceful zen gardens one minute and surrounded by futuristic skyscrapers, rowdy karaoke bars and neon-lit arcades the next.
