    DISCOVER TOKYO An Unforgettable School Trip Contact：[email protected] Experience Fascinating Japan in Tokyo, Where Old Meets New Tokyo is a metropolis like no other. A sprawling city where ancient meets modern, Tokyo has served as the pulsating heart of Japan for over 400 years. Tourists flock here from around the world to sample the city’s one-of-a-kind atmosphere. While embracing legacy and tradition, the city is forever in flux. Come to Tokyo and you are guaranteed an unforgettable experience. 5 Reasons to Choose Tokyo for School Trips 1 Safety and Security Any destination you choose for a school trip must be safe and it must provide a sense of security. According to the “Safe Cities Index 2017” report compiled by UK-based news magazine The Economist, Tokyo ranks as the safest major city in the world. Visitors and locals alike appreciate this aspect of the city, along with its notable cleanliness. Safe and clean Tokyo therefore makes an ideal destination for a school trip. 2 Japan’s Economic Heart Tokyo is an international center of economic activity. By itself, it accounts for around 20% of Japan’s GDP—a figure that puts it on a par with the entire country of Mexico. The bustling streets of Tokyo never fail to amaze visitors to the city. Another draw for anyone planning a school trip here is the abundance of industry- and economy-related facilities that welcome visiting tour groups. 3 The Hub of Japan With two international airports, Haneda and Narita, Tokyo is Japan’s main gateway to the world.
