Neon Nights, Quiet Temples
Tokyo rewards travelers who know where to look — and our Asia specialist Yuki Tanaka knows every alley. Dawn at Tsukiji's outer market, a tea ceremony in a 200-year-old machiya, Shibuya crossing at midnight from a rooftop bar. Small groups of 15 max mean you move like locals, not a crowd.
Two bullet-train days carry you to Kyoto's temples and Hakone's hot springs with Mount Fuji on the horizon. Rail passes, pocket Wi-Fi and every reservation are handled before you land.
