Cherry blossoms in the spring, elegant gardens and shrines, views of Mt. Fuji in the distance, Tokyo offers an unusual connection with nature in the midst of one of the most bustling metropolises in the world. The entire city buzzes with an eclectic energy that keeps it at the cutting edge of fashion, food and trends. With the Olympics coming to town in 2020, the city is doing even more to invest in English language training, improving an already-clean and capable infrastructure, and investing in green energy solutions. Nearly one million trees are set to be planted along roadsides in the lead-up to the event, making the city even more connected to the natural world.
