Tokyo at a Glance

Tokyo is a city of contrasts — ancient shrines beside neon-lit skyscrapers, quiet zen gardens steps from the world's busiest intersection. For Vietnamese travelers, Japan has become increasingly accessible with competitive flight prices and simplified visa processes. Tokyo's food scene alone is worth the trip — the city has more Michelin stars than any other city in the world. From the cherry blossoms of Ueno Park to the electronic wonderland of Akihabara, Tokyo rewards every type of traveler.

When to go:

  • March – May: Cherry blossom season (late March to mid-April). Perfect weather 15–22°C.
  • October – November: Autumn leaves. Comfortable 15–20°C. Fewer tourists than spring.
  • December – February: Cold (2–10°C) but clearest Mt. Fuji views. Winter illuminations. Lowest flight prices.

Top experiences:

  • Sensoji Temple (Asakusa): Tokyo's oldest temple (645 AD). Walk through the iconic Kaminarimon gate and Nakamise shopping street. Free entry.
  • Shibuya Crossing & Hachiko: The world's busiest pedestrian crossing. Best viewed from Starbucks 2nd floor or Shibuya Sky observation deck.
  • Tsukiji Outer Market: Fresh sushi for breakfast, tamagoyaki, and wagyu skewers. Go before 10am. The inner market moved to Toyosu but outer market remains.
  • TeamLab Borderless: Immersive digital art museum. Book tickets 2+ weeks in advance — sells out fast. Budget 2-3 hours.
  • Day Trip to Mt. Fuji: Hakone or Kawaguchiko. Clear views best in winter (Dec-Feb). Take the Romancecar from Shinjuku.

Asakusa Senso-ji is Tokyo's oldest temple, highlighted by the giant red lantern hanging at Kaminarimon gate, with free admission all day.

Savoring fresh sushi and hot ramen

Taste authentic tonkotsu ramen, fresh sushi near the historic Tsukiji market area, and grilled yakitori skewers in local Izakaya alleys.

3. Transit Options from Haneda Airport to Central Tokyo

From Haneda Airport (HND), you have two primary options: the Tokyo Monorail (15 minutes to Hamamatsucho station) or the Keikyu Airport Line (just 11 minutes to Shinagawa station). Both options cost around 500 Yen, saving 75% compared to Narita taxi or express train fares.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
October to November is one of Tokyo's most stunning windows: golden ginkgo avenues (Meiji Jingu Gaien) and crimson maple foliage (momiji at Rikugien and Shinjuku Gyoen) peak under crisp 15–20°C weather. December to February follows with the clearest skies of the year—offering pristine views of snow-capped Mt. Fuji—alongside spectacular winter illuminations across Roppongi Hills and Shibuya. March to May is the other iconic window for spring cherry blossoms (sakura), though autumn and winter offer fewer crowds and better flight deals.
How long is the flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Tokyo?
The flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Tokyo takes about 5.5 hours. That makes Tokyo a comfortable overnight or early-morning departure from Vietnam, and short enough that you can land and still use most of the first day. Remember Tokyo runs two hours ahead of Vietnam, so plan your arrival transfers on Japan time.

HK Express offers HAN-HND round-trip fares starting at 5,378,598 VND (~$215 USD) with a quick transit.
