30 Culture-Centered Homestays in Tokyo, the World's Most Populous Metropolis
|Marianne Luz Molo
Tokyo, the ever-busy capital city of Japan, is one of the highest-rated tourist destinations in the world. Known for being modern and high-tech at the same time traditional and peaceful, Tokyo stands at the top ranks of Japan’s most visited cities. It gets its popularity for offering the vastest media sensation and catering to people of all ages.
Tokyo, formerly Edo, is known for its historic shrines and temples. But not every visitor is looking to visit the historical side of a city. A variety of successful performing art theaters like Kabuki and Noh also exist.

Tokyo is home to the world’s busiest intersections, making their public transport second to none. Everything in this capital is made to be orderly and efficient, from the public transport to your local connecting neighborhood streets.
Whether you’re a fan of Japanese media or a fan of Japanese history, everything you’ve wanted to experience can be seen inside the gates of Japan’s most populous metropolis.
