Things to Do in Tokyo

Tokyo has been the capital of Japan since 1868 and is the world's most populous metropolitan area with over 37 million people in the greater region.

The city sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and experiences frequent minor earthquakes; modern buildings are engineered with advanced seismic technology to withstand them.

Tokyo's Tsukiji Outer Market moves over 2,000 tonnes of seafood daily, making it one of the world's largest fish markets before its relocation to Toyosu in 2018.

The Yamanote Line, Tokyo's iconic circular train, completes a full loop in 60 minutes and carries approximately 3.6 million passengers daily.

Shibuya Crossing, famous for its scramble intersection, sees up to 3,000 people cross simultaneously during peak hours—one of the busiest pedestrian crossings globally.

Tokyo's cherry blossom season (late March to early April) draws millions of visitors annually; the blooms last only 1–2 weeks depending on weather.
