Two days in Tokyo: a contrasting world of past and present

There’s something about places to visit in Tokyo: some fill you up with the local flavour of the island country, while others transport you to a simpler world, away from the materialistic trappings. Read on… An idyllic country nestled amidst the seas, Japan makes you travel through time like no other destination. Packed with surprises, the country is much more than just modern skyscrapers and headquarters of technology giants. From mountain climbs to embracing the quiet countryside, from gaping at the horizon atop the broadcasting tower to traversing between cities in one of the fastest trains in the world, Japan’s capital city—Tokyo offers you a world of its own to explore. Distinctive and unforgettable, Tokyo impresses you with sites like Oshino Hakkai Village which are reminiscent of a simpler life; and the city leaves you awestruck with its super efficient shinkansen (bullet trains) that negotiate swiftly with the 21st century. If you are spending two days in Tokyo, then follow this itinerary to embrace the sharp contrasts of the past and present here.
