Savvy Tokyo has a lot to brag about, with its ancient Shinto temples, Michelin-starred
sushi restaurants and world-famous stock exchange. The Japanese capital is one of the
most important financial centers on the planet, alongside London and New York. Tokyo is
expensive and overcrowded, but that doesn't stop tourists and business
travelers from pouring into the lively city all year. Home to the nation's
monarchy and government, Tokyo is also home base for many businesses. The financial
sector is particularly strong. Investment banks and insurance companies cluster in the
Marunouchi and Otemachi districts. Tourism is also booming, thanks to numerous
attractions such as the Tokyo Disneyland Resort.
