Japan’s capital is where the ultramodern and the traditional meet in a clash of neon-lit skyscrapers and historic temples, with more than 13 million people calling the city home. From the world-famous Tsukiji Fish Market to the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, you can expect nothing less than an assault on the senses.

Tokyo is a journey that takes you into its exciting history at the Tokyo National Museum, to the verdant gardens of the Imperial Palace, or into the sky at the Tokyo Tower for a bird’s-eye view of the glittering city. And no trip here would be complete without visiting some of the destination’s more traditional sites, such as the spiritual Meiji Shrine, known for its towering gate and surrounding woods.

If you’re heading to Japan in 2019 to catch Rugby World Cup 2019™, here’s your travel guide to Tokyo:

Getting around

Tokyo consists of several urban nodes, connected by a massive public transport system. Most of Tokyo’s major hubs are located on the JR Yamanote Line, often called the “Loop Line.” You can ride the JR Yamanote Line with a Japan Rail Pass or a prepaid card like Suica or Pasmo.
