Welcome to the capital of the fascinating nation of Japan, Tokyo. Mesmerising, frenetic and sometimes offbeat, Tokyo is the sprawling epicentre of Japanese commerce, culture, and innovation. Tokyo is the realisation of a truly 24/7 metropolis - there's something to see and do every minute, of every day, all year round.
Want to learn more about Japanese culture and history? Tokyo is home to many of Japan's top museums, galleries and historical sites. Tokyo is a food lover's dream. Japanese food is already akin to an art form, and Tokyo's world-renowned dining scene takes dining to new and ludicrous heights.

Here, you’ll find plenty to see and do, including the dining and entertainment on offer at Akasaka Sacas, the renowned Hei Shrine with its cascading staircase of red torii gates, and the Ark Hills complex where every fourth Sunday of the month you’ll find one of Tokyo's best antique and artisan crafts markets.
Your hotel in Tokyo is close to many of the top things to do in Japan's sprawling capital city. Don't miss out on the best Tokyo attractions, neighbourhoods, history and culture.
Located in the Akasaka district conveniently close to your luxury serviced apartments in Tokyo, the Hie Shrine is one of Tokyo's most enchanting and famous sights. Throughout the centuries the shrine has been moved several times, switching between being inside the imperial grounds and back outside again at the whim of Japan's pre-Meiji restoration rulers. Today, the shrine sits on a hilltop near the government district of Nagatacho. The western entrance consists of a vibrant red tunnel of torii gates running up the hill and is easily one of the most recognisable images of Tokyo today.
Recognised by UNESCO as an intangible heritage possessing outstanding universal value, the Japanese theatre style known as Kabuki is a must-see experience during any stay in Tokyo. Performers wear elaborate costumes and makeup and perform highly stylised historical and domestic drama performances. The best place to see Kabuki in Tokyo is the Kabuki-za theatre in the Ginza district, considered the home of Kabuki in Tokyo. To get to Kabuki-za from your hotel in Tokyo's Akasaka district, walk to Akasaka Station and take the Chiyoda line to Hibiya Station, then change over to the Hibiya line to Higashi-Ginza Station. From there, a one minute walk will see you to the doors of Kabuki-za.
In a city awash with shopping and dining options, there are few places where you can pick and mix your Tokyo experience as deftly as with a wander along the shopping strip of Togoshi Ginza Shotengai. Tokyo's longest shopping street runs for an impressive 1.3 kilometres and is stacked wall-to-wall with street food and shops, where you can buy almost everything you need - from clothes to cameras and much more. Unlike the high-street brands you'll see in upmarket Ginza to the north, Togoshi Ginza Shotengai is where everyday locals come to shop for their odds and ends. The street food is out of this world - the challenge is knowing what to choose from the endless plethora of food on offer. Our advice? Try it all!
To get to Togoshi Ginza Shotengai from your Tokyo serviced apartments in Akasaka, head to Aoyama-Itchome Station and take the Oedo line to Daimon Station, then change for the Asakusa line (south) and alight at Togoshi Station.
Before the Meiji Restoration changed the face of Japan forever, Tokyo was known as Edo - the seat of the powerful Tokugawa shogunate. Today echoes of Edo can still be found in carefully curated corners of Tokyo, providing a unique glimpse into Japan - and Tokyo's - colourful past. One of the best places to experience 'old Edo' is at the Koto City Fukagawa Edo Museum. The museum is a full-size reproduction of an Edo-era streetscape created with exquisite detail. Representing the final years of the Edo period (1603-1867), it really gives you a sense of how people in Tokyo used to live before Japan allowed the industrial age to catch up with it.
To get to the Fukagawa Edo Museum from your hotel in Tokyo, take the Chiyoda line from Akasaka Station to Otemachi Station then change to the Hanzomon line to alight at Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station.
Your serviced apartments in Tokyo are close to some of the city's best neighbourhoods. Tokyo is as much a city of boroughs than a uniform urban sprawl, and each neighbourhood offers something unique for the eager urban adventurer to experience. One of our top picks is the artfully cool neighbourhood of Nakameguro. Every Spring the area plays host to the Nakameguro Cherry Blossom Festival - the Sakura line the Meguro River to each side making it one of the most picture-perfect places to see the annual blossoming of Japan's favourite flowers. Nearby, the recently revamped Nakameguro Koukashita (under the tracks) cafe and shopping strip oozes Tokyo cool. Here you'll find boutique book stores, unique dining concepts and designer fashion boutiques. You can easily spend a day in Nakameguro and leave wanting more.
Getting to your luxury serviced apartments hotel in Tokyo is easy and efficient. Two international airports serve Tokyo - Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda International Airport (HND). Out of the two, Haneda is the closest airport to your hotel in Akasaka; take the Keikyū Airport line to Daimon Station then change to the Oedo line for Aoyama-itchome Station. From there, you can either enjoy the short walk or make two additional changes to jump onto the Chiyoda line and alight at Akasaka Station.
When arriving in Tokyo via Narita International Airport, take the Keisei express trains - the Sky Access or Skyliner - and then join Tokyo's extensive metro network to Akasaka Station. Alternatively, let Fraser Suites Akasaka's friendly staff organise an airport transfer for you.
