From shopping at boutiques selling the latest in technology to visiting historic sites that are centuries old, you can find hundreds of things to see and do in Tokyo. Explore the markets of Tokyo for a glimpse into local life, or visit the incredible shrines and temples that still stand proud amidst glittering modern skyscrapers.

Tokyo Tourism

There are two airports serving Tokyo: Narita International Airport and Haneda Airport, also known as Tokyo International Airport. If you are traveling on a direct flight from Honolulu, you are likely to arrive at Narita International Airport, which handles the majority of international flights into Tokyo. Haneda Airport focuses mainly on domestic flights, but some international flights that stop in other Japanese or Asian cities land at this airport. Public transportation, including train services, and taxis are popular ways to get from either airport into central Tokyo. You can also rent a car at either airport and drive into town yourself. Car rental companies at the airport are all local chains, such as Nippon, Japanren, and Mazda Car Rental.

One must-see area of Tokyo is the Roppongi Hills, home to the 54-story Mori Tower, a great deal of public art, an ancient samurai garden, and the Tokyo City View observatory. History buffs will enjoy visiting the Imperial Palace and one or more of the shrines that dot the city, such as Asakusa-jinja or Meiji-jingū. Families with kids will enjoy visiting the Tokyo Dome and Tokyo Metropolitan Children's Hall. For an escape from the hustle and bustle, visit Ueno Park or the Koishikawa Kōraku Garden.

Japan's most exciting city is busy throughout the year, but summer is the prime tourist season, so prices tend to be higher for travel at that time. June and July tend to be rainy and hot, and when the rains stop in August, average highs rise into the high 80s. September, October, and November are cooler, and the changing colors of the trees make fall one of the most beautiful times to visit Tokyo. Winters are clear and cold, although average temperatures do stay above freezing. Many visitors like to visit Tokyo in the spring, when the cherry blossoms are blooming and temperatures tend to be in the 50s and 60s.
