Tokyo Travel Guide: Sightseeing, Hotel, Restaurant & Shopping Highlights - Paperback

by Jerry Wallis (Author)

Visitors to Tokyo, the capital of Japan will witness an impressive contrast of the old and the new. The city is the very epitome of hi-tech with smartphones on evidence everywhere. At the same time, geishas can be seen dressed in traditional clothes that date back to the medieval period. Meanwhile locals will pray at a Shinto temple exactly as their ancestors have done for hundreds of years. Despite this, Tokyo is a thoroughly ultramodern capital city of worldwide repute.
