Tokyo is a fascinating city of extremities, blending the old traditions with visions of the future and an extraordinary pace of life. A shock of skyscrapers and neon, it's a gleaming example of Japan's post World War II success.

Traveler Ian Wright begins his stay by experiencing the spiritual side of Tokyo at the peace loving Senso-ji temple. After a gentle introduction he throws himself into the pace of the city and discovers some incredible technology and fashion! He then heads to Mount Fuji for a crowded climb to the summit, before ending his trip experiencing the infamous Tokyo nightlife.

Along the Way...

· Enjoy a volcanic spa at the base of Mount Fuji

· Eat a sushi breakfast in the Tsukiji Fish Market

· Explore the hi-tech world of Odaiba's technology centers

· Marvel at the colorful floats of the Aomori Nebuta festival

· Learn about the Bushido philosophy of the Samurai warriors
