Business Travel View - Tokyo

Oct. 8, 2009 - PRLog -- The bustling city of Tokyo is the capital of the world’s second largest economy. Tokyo along with New York City and London is regarded to be a prominent financial command center of the global economy as it is home to the Tokyo Stock Exchange which is Japan’s largest stock exchange and the second largest stock exchange in the world in terms of market capitalization that also has the fourth largest share turnover.
Tokyo which is located on the eastern side of the main Honshu island of Japan has been the driving force of the Japanese economy after World War II. The city enjoyed a major economic boom in the 1980’s when the Japanese economy was growing at a blistering pace. During this time there was much real estate speculation and land prices in and around Tokyo touched astronomical heights along with the Japanese yen. This somewhat leveled off in the early 1990s but Tokyo’s real estate continues to remain extremely expensive until today.
In spite of this factor, business has continued to boom in this city and  its surrounding   region which functions as Japan’s leading industrial center that has a highly diversified manufacturing base.  The various industries located in and around Tokyo,  include the manufacture of electronic goods, transport equipment, automobiles, cameras and optical goods, furniture, textiles, and a wide variety of consumer items, as well as publishing and printing though the economy of Tokyo city is largely dominated by the financial services, banking, insurance and media and advertising industries.  
This buzzing and futuristic city is however a city of great diversity where the old world and new and modern co-exist in relative harmony. Tokyo which is well known for its cutting edge infrastructure and technological advance, and is renowned as metropolis that embraces changing fashions and trends with great alacrity it also at the same time, a city that continues to observe and respect time-honored Japanese customs and traditions. It is for this reason that Tokyo, which has the largest metropolitan economy in the world, is considered to be a great place to do business. Consequently many of Japan’s leading companies have their head quarters in Tokyo along with a slew of multinational companies like IBM Japan Ltd, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Texas Instruments Japan Limited.
Tokyo is home to nearly 12 million people and it is well served by an excellent public transport system which is made up of two airports, Narita and Haneda and a variety of private line and municipal subways and trains. Narita airport receives mostly international air carriers while Haneda plays host to much of the domestic traffic.  The best way to travel to the city center from Narita airport which is located forty miles to the east of Tokyo is by express train or airport bus, as taxi rides in Tokyo are prohibitively expensive.
The frenzied economic activity in Tokyo which features much foreign participation has led several of world’s most prominent luxury hotel chains to set up shop in the many fashionable areas of Tokyo like Ginza, Roppongi Hills, Shiodome, and Marunouchi. Some of the popular business hotels in Tokyo include the Ritz Carlton which is located at the Tokyo Mid-Town complex in Roppongi, The Grand Hyatt which is also located in Roppongi, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel which is located in Nihonbashi adjacent to Ginza and the Conrad which is situated in Shinbashi.
Tokyo also offers a wealth of entertainment options for the business traveler who may want to relax and rejuvenate after a day of hectic business wheeling and dealing. The city has a wide array of trendy shops, bars and restaurants that aim to cater to all palates and budgets and range from high end establishments like the L’ Atelier de Joël Robuchon brasserie which is located in the Roppongi Hill’s complex and the Skybar at the Park Hyatt in Shinjuku to the far more modest eateries which are located near Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji fish market, that serve excellent freshly made sushi and sashimi.
