About Tokyo
The “to” in Tokyo actually means metropolis, which is what Tokyo has become under law. Considered the second largest metropolis in the world, Tokyo is only smaller than Mexico City. Home to the Emperor and the ruling government, Tokyo is the most important city in all of Japan. Located on the main island of Honshu and the plain of Kanto, hotels in Tokyo have some of the most wonderful packages for either the business or tourist traveler.
As Tokyo has the highest concentration of industry and commerce in the country and one of the highest in technological development in the world, business travel goes on year round. Most signs and tourist guides can be easily found in English when necessary. But when in doubt, for a bite to eat, survival in Tokyo could be as easy as asking “Maku-dona-rudo-doko-ni-desska?” (Where is MacDonalds?).
Most citizens of Tokyo were not born their, and if you “at least try” to speak Japanese, they will certainly be friendly and always try to help (the trying part goes a long way in Tokyo). A very proud culture that still reverberates its historical Samurai Warrior past, the hotels in Tokyo usually always have a show room with cultural arts expositions, such as traditional Japanese paintings, sculptures, art, theater, opera, dance and even reenactments of warrior days.
A good tip to know for businesspeople as well as tourists that visit Japan is that hotels will always understand that foreigners come from different cultures, but outside the hotel walls, most citizens of Tokyo really don’t think about it. Etiquette and polite manners are foundation stones to the Tokyo way of life. In feudal times, the Japanese developed a strict ethical code of honor for warrior rulers, that to this very day is what makes Japanese business one of the most successful in the world.
In fact, the subtleness of the arts such as Japanese tea ceremony Chá-Do, Karate-Do, modern business deals or even just having lunch, follow such disciplined behavioral rules of body language and deep attention spans, that most foreigners find this both at once intriguing and delightful.
There are so many options for getting to Tokyo, around the city or even a hotel. Tokyo is an international hub for rail, sea and airway travel. The complex network of subway, train, ship, bus and even planes, make moving around the many commercialized islands off the coast of Tokyo annexations of the city, as well as the distant satellite cities. Downtown is always but a hop-skip and a jump from any hotel in Tokyo.
