Tokyo serves as the capital of Japan. The city is steeped in history – that of its Royal Family, the ravages of the Second World War, and its ascendancy to the elite club of wealthiest nations of the world. But it is also a city that is young at heart, where Hollywood stars and English music concerts are a rage. Even with its small contrasts, Tokyo remains one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Tokyo is renowned for being a mix of old and new, with ancient temples hidden among large, modern architecture.
