Tokyo doesn\u2019t do things by halves \u2013 It is one of the world\u2019s biggest cities. It has the world\u2019s tallest tower. It has the most Michelin-starred restaurants…<\/p>\n

For all its bright lights, au fait trends and glass towers, Tokyo<\/a> is not as modern as it appears. With a layer of rich culture and unexpected tradition just under the surface. Visitors can get a taste of both of these sides of the city, with traditional temples and high end shopping malls, interspersed with plenty of delicious food!<\/p>\n

HERE\u2019S HOW TO SPEND THE PERFECT 48 HOURS\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/h5>\n
Day One<\/h5>\n
MORNING<\/h6>\n

Hop on the metro and head to the Asakusa district. Then head up to the dizzy heights of the Tokyo Skytree. At 634 metres tall, this is the world\u2019s tallest tower and offers amazing views over the city. If you\u2019re lucky, you might even see Mount Fuji <\/a>beyond. Once you\u2019ve had your fill of the views, head back down. Wander over to Senso-ji, Tokyo\u2019s oldest and most venerated temple. Always bustling with worshiping locals and tourists alike, there is a wonderfully vibrant atmosphere. Browse the stalls of the street market. Grab some of the cooked-to-order snacks or have a wander through the narrow alleys nearby to find a more substantial lunch.<\/p>\n
