Get to know one of the world&#8217;s most sprawling cities in this comprehensive guide for business travelers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Founded as Edo in the 12th century and renamed Tokyo (meaning &#8216;Eastern Capital&#8217;) in 1868 when it became the seat of the Meiji Emperor, Tokyo has transformed from a feudal castle town into one of the most technologically advanced and economically powerful cities on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The contrast is immediately striking: ancient Shinto shrines stand in the shadows of gleaming skyscrapers, and the meditative calm of a traditional tea ceremony exists just streets away from the relentless pace of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. For the business traveler, this duality makes Tokyo both fascinating and uniquely productive.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers are formidable. Tokyo&#8217;s GDP exceeds $1 trillion, making it one of the largest metropolitan economies in the world. The Tokyo Stock Exchange is Asia&#8217;s largest, and Japan is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any country outside the United States &#8211; the majority of which maintain their headquarters or key offices in the capital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In this comprehensive guide for business travelers, we help you navigate Tokyo&#8217;s unique business ecosystem, share practical tips for getting around, and highlight our top 3 things to see or do to make your trip unforgettable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;#gettingthere&#8221;
