5^th World Congress on Epilepsy and Treatment August 14-15, 2019 | Radisson Narita | Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is Japan’s capital and the world’s most populous metropolis. It is  also one of Japan’s 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city wards and  multiple cities, towns and villages west of the city center. The Izu and  Ogasawara Islands are also part of Tokyo. It has neon, skyscrapers and salaryman crowds, packed trains, cutting-edge architecture and  futuristic technology. But it also has ancient shrines, plant-covered  wooden houses, cycling grannies, old-school sweet shops and village- like lanes. Tokyo is a nirvana for foodies, and has the world’s highest volume of Michelin stars in a city. Shopping is  another highlight – it’s worth bringing an empty suitcase to fill  with hard-to-resist gadgets, trendsetting garments and treasures  from craft and design stores. As a result, not only is the mood  refreshingly upbeat, but a raft of new developments,  hotels and infrastructure upgrades are in the pipeline. With  more than 12.5 million residents to entertain, Tokyo has a lot going on. Boasting the Tokyo National Museum, the National  Museum of  Nature and Science, the Ueno Zoo, and the sprawling green space, Ueno  Park are the special  places to visit in Tokyo. Edo-Tokyo Museum and the Imperial Palace resembles the history of  Tokyo and  no trip here would  be complete without visiting  some of Tokyo’s Buddhist and Shinto sites like the Sensoji Temple and the Meiji Shrine.
