Where to Go: Tokyo

J Rail Pass

Competitive and ambitious Aries will find Tokyo the place to be in the next year. As host of the Summer Olympic games, rescheduled to take place in 2021, this is where the world’s most competitive athletes will call home for a few weeks.

Join them and watch the excitement take place under Tokyo’s new stadium in Tokyo Bay as well as venues across the Heritage Zone, where the 1964 Olympics took place. Even if you visit the city when the Olympics aren’t in session, you will find it lively enough to keep you entertained at every turn.

Where to Stay

Shangri-La

Tokyo is in such demand that hotels can be a bit pricey if you want to be in the heart of it all. One hotel that provides luxury for less is the Shangri-La Tokyo, a five-star property across from Tokyo Station.

The Shangri-La offers unobstructed views of Tokyo’s Imperial Palace and Mount Fuji and provides an indoor heated swimming pool with views as well.
