Serviced apartments in Tokyo

Instantly recognisable by its neon lights, bustling streets and towering skyscrapers, Tokyo's emphasis on technological progression means that the city is a blend of futuristic development and a culture that is thousands of years old.

Food and entertainment are intertwined here, with themed cafes, exhibition restaurants and plenty of weird and wonderful vending machines to be found down every street. The variety of unusual activities makes socialising a breeze and you can be sure you'll be a pro at karaoke by the time you leave. Although much of the city might conform to the stereotypical perception of Tokyo, such as Shibuya Crossing and the shopping district of Ginza, there is far more to see than might initially meet the eye. Check out the ornate imperial Palace or Kabuki Theatre to see some traditional Japanese drama, or head west to the beautiful Hinohara village for a rural retreat from the metropolis. If you're lucky enough to be staying in Tokyo during Spring, you'll watch the city be transformed by the cherry blossoms, with the blooming period lasting up to four months.
