Since then, the gap has narrowed, and Japan\u2019s snow-capped peaks have never felt closer. Connected by the bullet train, it takes just over an hour for travelers to zip between these beautifully contrasting regions. You can catch the buzz of Tokyo\u2019s sprawling metropolis in the morning and take in the snow country views the same afternoon.<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading\"><h2 id=\"tokyo-technical-marvels\" class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__heading\"><span style=\"color:#ce7d5c\" class=\"color\"><strong>Tokyo<\/strong>: Technical Marvels<\/span><\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-cnn-heading__content\"><p>For an elevated view of one of Tokyo\u2019s most popular destinations, head to Shibuya Sky.
