Tokyo runs on contrast: neon-drenched Shibuya crossings and serene shrines, Michelin sushi and $8 ramen, hyper-modern towers beside wooden teahouses. The greatest food city on earth.

Land, drop your bags, and ease into Tokyo with something low-key nearby. Buy a Suica card and carry cash — many great small spots are cash-only.
