Whether you're looking for traditional temples, neon neighbourhoods, high-octane glamor, or the freshest sushi imaginable, Tokyo will not disappoint.

How to choose which neighbourhood to stay in Tokyo Like any large metropolis, Tokyo over time has swallowed up other small cities, towns and villages, all of which are now part of the greater Tokyo area known as “wards”, and these districts make up the bustling modern city we know today.

What are some of the main neighbourhoods in Tokyo called, and best known for?

Shibuya: it is the pop culture of Shibuya that sets it apart from nearby Shinjuku. Here you'll find the iconic Shibuya Crossing. At night, the neon signage adds even more energy along with the many traditional Izakaya pubs lining the alleys of this Tokyo district.

Shinjuku District Neon & Electrics: At night, Shinjuku is a neon-lit wonderland, buzzing with hundreds of tiny Izakaya bars and restaurants, also one of the very best places to buy phones or electrics gadgets that might be months or years ahead of coming to market anywhere else in the world

Roppongi: Culture & Clubs, is popular with foreigners for its clubs and bars but has been transformed in recent years into a major upmarket shopping,hotel, residential and cultural space.

Ginza – Shopping & Fashion Area, high street shops, departments stores, galleries, fine dining, nightclubs and the landmark Ginza Wako Clock Tower

Ebisu: Beer & Greenery – located within Shibuya Ward but very different from the buzzing Shibuya neighbourhood itself. Ebisu is a haven of green spaces and outdoor cafés

Asakusa: Tea & Temples a neighbourhood that can still transport you back to the Tokyo of centuries past. Still possess its original character of small curving alleyways lined with flowerpots and one-story houses, known as shitamachi (“low city”)
