The all new Planet Tokyo offers travelers engagingly written advice on some of the more practical aspects of Japanese travel and provides inside tips on sightseeing and dining, not to mention discounts on some of the city's best hotels.

For the past eight years Planet Tokyo has provided travel and cultural information to millions of loyal visitors. The new version of the site builds on the success of the original by expanding to provide a more diverse assortment of information and services to it's users.

Planet Tokyo features entertaining and exclusive content like:

• Burning Dolls in Ueno Park: A true story about a chance encounter with a fascinating ritual.
• Gin Margaritas in Roppongi: Mexican food just isn't the same in Tokyo.

The Planet Tokyo blog features regularly updated news on interesting aspects of Japanese culture with an emphasis on JPop, Robots, and Japanese Food.

One visit to Planet Tokyo will convince you they're right -- you will need more than a passport.
