INSIDER RECOMMENDATION
TRAVEL INSPIRATIONS

"With a population of 10 million, the hustle and bustle of Tokyo can be overwhelming at first. But spend a few days exploring, and you’ll fall in love with it. It’s easy to like the friendly, warm & welcoming people too. Although Tokyo is perceived as a technological, almost futuristic, city, it is also steeped in tradition and history, which gives Tokyo its distinct character. " – Tatsu
