Nice in June is beautiful. The sea is warm, the rosé is cold, and everyone is in the same five square kilometres. Tokyo is something else entirely: 37 million people, a ramen bowl for €6, and enough city to get lost in for a month. Etihad flies you there from Nice for €528 return.

💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A bowl of tonkotsu ramen costs €6 in Tokyo. A beer at a local izakaya runs €3. A full convenience store breakfast (rice ball, green tea, pastry) comes to €4. The daily budget for a mid-range traveller sits at €60–€80, all in. That is less than a dinner for one on the Promenade des Anglais, where a tourist menu rarely drops below €30.
☀️ The Weather
Nice in June is 26°C and effortless: clear skies, warm sea, the whole Côte d'Azur routine. Tokyo in June runs at 22–28°C, but the rainy season (tsuyu) brings humidity and frequent short downpours through late June. By mid-July it clears, and the heat kicks in: 30–34°C, intense, but the city barely slows down. Pack light clothes, a compact umbrella, and no expectations of a beach.
🏨 Where to Stay
Tokyo is enormous. Shinjuku, Asakusa, and Shibuya are the three easiest bases.
Dormy Inn Asakusa - 8.9/10 - From €65/night Traditional neighbourhood, public onsen on-site, and Senso-ji temple ten minutes from the door. The best budget base in the city. 👉 Book here

🎯 What to Do
Tokyo is too big for a list. Start here.
Senso-ji Temple, Asakusa - Tokyo's oldest temple, built in 645 AD. The Thunder Gate and surrounding market streets are at their best early morning, before the crowds arrive.
Shibuya Crossing and Shibuya Sky - The busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. Shibuya Sky puts you 230 metres above it: open-air, the whole city spread below.
teamLab Borderless - The world's largest digital art museum, reopened in Azabudai Hills in 2024. Rooms that move and respond. Nothing like it exists in Europe.
Shinjuku Golden Gai - 200 tiny bars across six narrow alleys. Each holds ten people. Order what the locals order and do not plan your evening.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Tokyo is the entry point. Japan's most compelling destinations are within two hours.
Hakone - 75 minutes by train. Mount Fuji views, volcanic hot springs, Lake Ashi, and the Hakone Open-Air Museum. The most popular day trip from Tokyo for good reason.
Kyoto - 2 hours 20 minutes by Shinkansen. The old capital: temples, geisha districts, bamboo groves. Worth two or three nights.
Kamakura - 1 hour by train. A 13th-century bronze Buddha, coastal temples, and a seaside town that holds its own as a destination.
Nikko - 2 hours by train. UNESCO-listed shrines surrounded by mountain forest. The Toshogu complex is the most ornate single site in Japan.
€528 return to Tokyo from Nice. The city runs all night. The food costs less than dinner at home. Book while Etihad has the seats.
