Tokyo is renowned for its skyscrapers, busy pedestrian crossings and bright neon-drenched streets. Whether you’re in for peaceful visits to museums, temples and tea ceremonies, or you just want to blend into the energy of crowded trains and the hustle-bustle of a fast-paced city life, Tokyo has something for everyone.

PIA flies to Tokyo thrice a week via Beijing.

 

BEST TIME TO GO

March and April are popular as the “Sakura” or cherry blossoms bloom in all their beauty. Mid-June to mid-July are the hot and damp summers. From September to November, the trees put on a colorful autumnal display. Winters are generally clear and cold, with temperatures averaging between 0 and 8 degrees Celsius.
