Tokyo, Japan overview

Huge department stores brim with shoppers, neon flashes from dusk to dawn, and the entire world pays heed to the slightest fluctuation on the Nikkei Index. From the Imperial Palace and Meiji Shrine to the fabled Ginza district, 21st-century Tokyo is an intriguing composite of East and West. Japanese houses of wood and paper stand in the shadow of towering steel and mortar. Not far away, one of the world's most impressive sights soars 12,388 feet to its snow-clad peak: Mount Fuji, the majestic symbol of Japan.

My favorite city in the world. We disembarked here and spent a few days in Tokyo. Nice new cruise port with a beautiful park right across the street. We did all the sight seeing in Tokyo. Love the culture food and people. Can’t wait to come again.

Tokyo was amazing. The people are extremely polite and disciplined. The city is immaculate. The shopping is expensive, but amazing. Only the highest of quality is sold there. Well worth the money. Allow yourself at least 2-3 days there before your cruise.
