Hooray for Toray

Those who love their tennis may find the ideal time to visit Japan is at the end of January, with the women's Toray Pan Pacific Open Tennis Tournament taking place in Tokyo from January 30th to February 4th.

Featuring top female players from around the world, last year's tournament was won by Elena Dementiava, who beat Martina Hingis in the final, while other notable names in the line-up included former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova.

This year should feature a similarly star-studded cast, with organisers announcing that the aforementioned trio have already confirmed their participation.

Entrance costs between 3,000 and 15,000 Yen (£13 and £65) depending on the seat and the round.

Outside the tennis, Tokyo offers visitors staying in cheap hotels a fascinating glimpse of the Japan's unique culture amid the startling modernity and neon signs of the world's largest urban area.

Visitors sampling these contrasts can visit Shinto temples or take in the view from the Tokyo Tower, the local answer to the Eiffel Tower, but, inevitably, a little bit taller.

Those looking to venture farther afield can take a trip to Mount Fuji National Park, where the snow-capped sacred peak rises 3,800 metres in to the sky.
