Tokyo

Tokyo’s juxtaposition of antique (Meiji Jingu, Asakusa Shrine, the Imperial Palace) and hyper-modern culture (Harajuku, Roppongi Hills, Shinjuku), its cutting edge food scene (more Michelin stars than Paris), unmatched transportation system, and near non-existent street crime earns Tokyo its well-deserved place in nearly every list of the world’s best cities. And despite almost 13 million residents who call Tokyo home, the city is abundant in hidden charm. From underground whiskey bars in 'Piss Alley' and rooftop beer gardens on top of skyscrapers to the most delicious bowls of ramen, there’s no excuse not to get yourself lost in translation.
