Destination guide
Tokyo: The world's biggest city, effortlessly polite
Tokyo is reachable nonstop from a dozen US cities via Haneda (close to the city) and Narita. A weak yen has made Japan a value destination, and Tokyo's food, neighborhoods, temples and the bullet train to Kyoto make it the trip of a lifetime.
Best time to visit: Late March–April (cherry blossoms) and October–November (fall color) are the best and busiest. May and September are pleasant; summer is hot and humid with typhoons possible; winter is dry, clear and cheap.
