Tokyo, the capital of Japan with a population of almost 8 million, combines tradition with progress. Buddhist temples stand side by side with Shinto cultural institutes and sky-scrapers. In the tiny streets you can find Kimonos, fans and miniature carvings, just a few streets away from the modern banking district and the grand architectural masterpieces. Visitors can relax in the Koraku Garden which has replicas of various features of the Japanese landscape. If it's a thrill you're after, a visit to the fish market is just the thing - and you could even bid on some fish!. More than 90,000 works of art are on display in the largest museum in Japan, the National Museum. In 1958 the Japanese built a replica of the Eiffel tower; At 333m high, 'Tokyo tower' would dwarf the original.
Other sights include: the Meji shrine, the emperor's garden and palace, the town hall, the 'Capsule Hotel' where guests are accommodated in "drawers", Asakusa Kannon temple and the temple gardens in Kamakura.

Kanazawa is a prefecture city on the Noto peninsula. Kanazawa is a large city with many monuments dating from the Edo period and is home to the beautiful landscaped gardens of Kenrokuen, one of the three most beautiful traditional landscaped gardens of Japan.

In Kanazawa visitors can watch authentic Kimonos being hand painted. In the summer, the peninsula is a popular destination for holidaymakers, campers and cyclists.
