I love both cities, but I think Tokyo just edges it. Here is why:
1. Tokyo is a different universe, a different galaxy, so interesting and different. Paris is beautiful in parts but ultimately much of the same as most Western cities. Tokyo is just more interesting.
2. The same applies to the surrounding area. Asia is a different universe, whereas the other parts of Europe are mostly rather similar. Where would you rather go on holiday, Shanghai, Bangkok or Palawan or Berlin, London and Bilbao?
3. Tokyo is much cleaner and safer. You don't have a North African immigration problem in Tokyo, much of Paris is now shockingly derilict, the key tourism parts excepted.
4. Whilst food in Paris can be excellent, even Japanese food in Paris is very good, the culinary world of Tokyo is now in a class of its own and better than anything in the world.
5. Asia is where the future is, Europe is settling into inevitable decline.
