The capital of Japan and one of the world's largest megapolises is none other than the stunning city of Tokyo.

A city that, although at first glance does not attract world-famous monuments, still has something for everyone.

The contrasts are also visible in the construction of the city itself. On one side you'll see a palace built in traditional Japanese style, enhanced by a large, strictly landscaped garden, but if you walk a few steps further you'll see a multitude of modern skyscrapers hosting some of the largest multinational corporations.
