Day 1Japan - Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan's sprawling capital, spans over 80 km, making it the world's largest city and home to approximately 37 million people. Characterized by towering skyscrapers, Tokyo is a high-tech metropolis brimming with numerous shopping malls. The city seamlessly blends Japan's ancient traditions with modern urban life, offering a kaleidoscope of cultural experiences and contrasting impressions.

Worth seeing
Shibuya's bustling crossroads stand out as a captivating spectacle in Tokyo. This major intersection, believed to be the busiest globally, buzzes with activity from busy Japanese locals at all hours. Another must-see is Sensoji, Tokyo's oldest temple. This Buddhist temple, a cultural gem, draws daily visitors who waft holy smoke in the hopes of a bright future. For a unique and enjoyable experience, consider exploring Tokyo on a Sumida River cruise, offering views of the Asahi Super Dry headquarters and iconic Tokyo bridges. Seeking respite from the city's clamor? Hamarikyu garden provides a tranquil oasis, surrounded by greenery and saltwater lakes, contrasting with the towering urban backdrop. Tokyo is also renowned for its vibrant food markets, with the Toyosu Fish Market being a particularly unique attraction. Here, a bluefin tuna can command prices of several million DKK. These are just a few highlights in the plethora of sights waiting to be explored in the world's largest city, Tokyo.
