Discover Tokyo

A Metropolis of Tradition and Innovation

Welcome to Tokyo

Tokyo breathes with more than four hundred years of tradition dating back to the Edo period, while continuously embracing the future as a city that never stops evolving. Here, tradition and innovation meet seamlessly, creating new value and driving progress in culture, science, and medicine.

From the historic atmosphere of Asakusa and Senso-ji Temple to the striking modern skyline symbolized by Tokyo Skytree, and from the cutting-edge energy of Shibuya to the pop culture hubs of Akihabara and Shinjuku, Tokyo offers a fascinating blend of old and new. This dynamic contrast reflects the city’s spirit — an energy and excitement that inspires discovery and innovation.

As one of the world’s leading global cities, Tokyo is also renowned for its advanced infrastructure, safety, and efficiency. Its highly developed transportation network ensures smooth and comfortable mobility, even in one of the most populous urban environments in the world — an important advantage for international medical and academic gatherings.

Tokyo is further celebrated as a global culinary capital, with the highest number of Michelin-listed restaurants worldwide, offering exceptional Japanese cuisine at a wide range of price points. Visitors are invited to experience the many surprises that begin here, and to enjoy both the medical conference and the unique cultural richness that only Tokyo can offer.
