Current live information

Did you know?

Narita International Airport is located about 60 km east of Tokyo and opened in 1978. It is Japan's second-largest airport and one of the most important international hubs for flights to and from East Asia. Narita was originally designed to take over international traffic from the older Tokyo Haneda Airport. Today, Narita primarily serves long-haul flights and is known for its efficient organisation and extensive duty-free offerings.

Places of interest

The striking Tokyo Tower, inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, stands red and white above the skyline, offering sweeping views of the vibrant metropolis from its observation decks – particularly impressive at night.

In the heart of the city lies the Meiji Shrine, a significant Shinto shrine set amidst a tranquil, shaded forest. A spiritual oasis between the skyscrapers, it draws visitors with its understated elegance and peaceful atmosphere.

A symbol of modern Tokyo is the Shibuya Crossing – one of the most famous and busiest intersections in the world. When hundreds of people stream across the street from all directions simultaneously, the dynamic rhythm of the city is shown in its full glory.

The Imperial Palace, with its sprawling gardens, is located in the heart of Tokyo and symbolises the continuity of Japanese history. Although the palace itself is not accessible, the well-kept grounds offer a peaceful contrast to its bustling surroundings.
