Japan Sitting on Tokyo Bay on the island of Honshu, Tokyo prefecture has a population of 12 million. Divided into 23 special wards - each with its own distinct characteristics - Tokyo is linked by a hyper-efficient rail network. Most Tokyo hotels are within a few minutes' walk of a train station, if not two or three, so exploring the city via rail is easy to master, even for first-timers.
Fashion-forward travelers head to Harajuku, where boutiques line narrow streets and costumed teens converge en masse. For something spiritual, the Meiji Shrine occupies a serene position in the middle of a 175-acre evergreen forest right next to Harajuku station. Another exciting stop on the Yamanote line is Akihabara - electric town. Here, shoppers can find block after block of cameras, notebooks, games consoles and phones.
