Tokyo is like a futuristic vision of the post-industrial world, with its skytrains,its miniscule booths and a multitude of small restaurants which are continuously full of life. From the Imperial Palace to the 'electronic village' of Akihabara, from the parties of Kabukichô or the Tsukiji fish market...discover the multiple faces of one of the most fascinating metropolises in the world!
The most striking aspect of Japan’s capital is its high level of energy. The city is constantly evolving and its metamorphosis occurs with great speed. Within a few years, this sprawling megapole of almost 12 million people has become a brilliant example of an economic miracle. Made up of several districts, like small cities within the city, Tokyo has a gigantic surface area of over 2000 km2. Nevertheless, you can get around with ease and rapidity, by subway or on local trains, or guided by the Japanese people’s legendary availability. However, don't forget that, during your language study trip, you will find oases of calm behind the vertical buildings. Most of the suburbs maintain a swarming human activity. The streets, lined with miniscule booths and a multitude of restaurants, are continually animated. Therefore, along with your friends from the language school, go to visit the Imperial Palance and the Senso-Ji temple or stroll through the Tsukiji or the bookshops of Kanda. This incredible combination of frenetic modernity and timeless traditions at the heart of the largest city in the world has never failed to fascinate the visitor..."As far as you can go, Tokyo never finishes!"
