Tourism Condé Nast Traveler’s ranks Tokyo Best Big City

A 23-year-old German woman who visited the capital with her younger brother said Tokyo is safe and clean even though it is one of the largest cities in the world. Although airfare and accommodations were far from cheap, she couldn't resist the city's attractions. Many of her friends also choose Tokyo as their destination for solo travel because they can visit various places with no worries, she added. A Frenchman, 24, said his dream came true when he arrived in Tokyo. He noted the diversity of things to do in the city, from taking advantage of entertainment opportunities to visiting Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples and parks rich with greenery. He came to Tokyo for the last days of his two-week trip to Japan after visiting Kyoto and Osaka. He said Japan's capital is one of the world's top three cities, but it can't hold a candle to his home of Paris. A 30-year-old woman from the Chinese coastal city of Qingdao said Tokyo is so close that she can visit casually. She said Japanese people are polite and that she feels comfortable because she is treated with kindness anywhere she goes.
