Tokyo is Japan's vast, energetic capital, where neon-lit districts, ancient temples, and world-class cuisine coexist in remarkable harmony. It rewards visitors with cutting-edge technology, deep tradition, and some of the most refined food and service anywhere. From a quiet shrine at dawn to the dazzling Shibuya crossing at night, every neighbourhood invites you to explore!

When to go

Spring (late March to April) is famous for cherry blossoms, and autumn (October to November) brings crisp air and colourful foliage; both are ideal but popular. Summer is hot and humid with a rainy spell, while winter is cool, dry, and relatively quiet.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

Tokyo is a long-haul journey that is sometimes nonstop from Toronto, but from most Canadian cities you will connect through Toronto, Vancouver, or a US hub depending on your departure city. Plan for a very long travel day with at least one layover. Crossing the date line, you will typically arrive two calendar days after departure.

What to see and do

Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa

Neon-lit Shinjuku and the alleys of Golden Gai
A day trip to Nikko or Kamakura

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Japanese yen, and while cards are increasingly accepted, cash is still useful, especially at smaller shops. A prepaid IC card such as Suica or Pasmo makes the excellent train and subway network effortless, and it is so fast and far-reaching that a rental car makes no sense in the city. Politeness matters, so observe local etiquette, queue neatly, and keep your voice low on trains.

Entry requirements and health

No visa needed

Good news: with a Canadian passport you can just show up for a short tourist stay, no visa needed. Keep an eye on how long you're allowed to stay so your trip fits.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
