Tokyo

The highest ceiling on food anywhere, at every price point.

Travellers come here for food, nightlife, culture and meeting people.

When to go

Aim for October, November and April. Think twice about June, July and August — the wettest stretch of the year.

Getting there

Airports serving Tokyo: HND and NRT. Tokyo is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.

Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $356, 1 stop. Found 32 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
