Tokyo is a metropolis that every adventurer should have on their bucket list. Mingling futuristic skyscrapers with mystical parks that bloom pink with cherry blossoms, it's a capital that oozes character, charm, culture, history – you name it. From the soaring lookouts of the Tokyo Tower to the salt-scented hawkers of the Tsukiji Fish Market, the tea-pouring libations at the Meiji Shrine to the sushi kitchens of the downtown, there's oodles and oodles to get through. If that sounds like your cup of sake, be sure to get hunting for cheap flights to Tokyo from New Zealand. The best bargains are usually on indirect flights going via an Asian hub like Manila or Shanghai.
