Tokyo is unlike any other city. Unique foods and atmosphere for a start.
Tokyo has a food scene unlike any other. Snacks in small restaurants, or sublime, Michelin-rated restaurants where the attention to detail is unseen. And the sushi restaurants, ramen places and foreign restaurants make for a very wide variety. Fluffy (yes, they really are!) pancakes in TokyoCity views are stunning, as are the parks. Tokyo is pretty easy to discover with public transportation. The trains and the Tokyo Metro are so widely available and so well organized.
