Top 5 reasons to visit Tokyo

Reason No.1: Tokyo Skytree
Japanese Emperor Akihito (R) and Empress Michiko (C), accompanied by Yoshizumi Nezu (L), president of Tobu Railway, operator of Tokyo Sky Tree, enjoy the view from the 450m high air corridor of the 634m Tokyo Sky Tree.

Currently the second tallest structure in the world (after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa), the building offers a spectacular 360-degree views of the Japanese capital, thanks to two observations decks. For shoppers fret not – it’s also got a range of shopping and dining options at the base of the tower. If you haven’t visited Tokyo in a while, then this is a definite must-visit.
