Yokohama is your gateway to Tokyo, the capital of Japan, considered by many to be one of the greatest cities in the world. Here, visitors will discover an extraordinary mix of modern culture and ancient tradition unlike anywhere else. Sprawling, modern shopping meccas stand beside serene palace gardens and the bright lights of the modern city are mysteriously reconciled with traditional architecture and culture. No visit to Tokyo is complete without experiencing the fascinating culture and history. Stand in awe in front of the monumental bronze statue of Amida Buddah, believed to date back to 1252, or visit the Sensoji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest temple.
