Top tips for Rome to Tokyo
Visit Tokyo’s oldest building
It may not be as old as Rome’s Colosseum, but the Shofuku-ji Temple is Tokyo’s oldest building and the first Zen temple ever built in Japan. Founded in 1195 and rebuilt in the 15th century, this Buddhist shrine is a quintessential example of Kamakura architecture. Take your time to wander through the landscaped gardens at this Japanese national treasure.
See Tokyo from above
The Tokyo Skytree is one of the tallest structures in the world, with an observation deck 1,476ft (634m) above the city. Open from 8am to 9pm, the best time of year to visit is during the summer months. On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji and the views at sunset are unbeatable.
