There’s no other city quite like Tokyo. Japan’s capital immerses you in food, history, fashion, and culture in a way that’s difficult to describe. You can stand at Shibuya Crossing, the busiest intersection in the world, and see the world at its most fast-paced, while only minutes away you’ll find the serenity of Meiji Jingu, a shrine that stands in the center of a 170-acre forest. In my latest Insider Guide newsletter, I share all the things I love most in Tokyo, from the Park Hyatt Tokyo, the iconic hotel seen in Lost in Translation, to the Nezu Museum, which holds a collection of Japanese and East Asian art from the premodern era. You can also see recommendations from Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, and ELLE Women of Impact cover star Sofia Coppola, all gathered over years of visits to Tokyo.
