Overview
The sheer level of
never-ending energy
is probably the most stunning aspect of Japan's capital city. Tokyo is a
metropolis
where the fast rhythms of consumerism collide with the much quieter
moments that still linger from older traditions. It's hectic madness
contrasted
by the most Zen-like calmness. The city offers great food and amazing
shopping. Yes, Japan is not the cheapest place in Asia, but you get what
you pay for. And some of the best things in Tokyo are totally free. A
walk in Ueno Park during the cherry blossom season is an unforgettable
experience that will not cost you a single Yen. And with more than 15
airlines offering fares from Bangkok to Tokyo, you can always get a good
deal.
How to Get There
Hotels in Tokyo are super
expensive but flights from Bangkok are usually on sale.
Delta Air Lines
and United Airlines
are among the cheapest options. If you are looking for convenient flight
times, try Japan

to some of the more remote places in Japan like Sapporo or Okinawa for
available from major Asian Airlines like
