Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Tokyo: 29 Walks in the World's Most Exciting City offers a unique and timeless introduction to one of the world's great cities and perhaps its most exciting one. Presenting 29 easy-to-follow walking tours through and near to Tokyo, it is the only guide to the city that is exclusively a walking guide.

Its lively text is full of facts and stories that emphasize the history, culture, architecture, and spirit of the city and its neighborhoods. On foot and by train or subway, it takes you through the most fascinating parts of the modern megalopolis, while making the shogun's cityβ€”the Edo of samurai and geishas, merchants and artisansβ€”and the outlines of old Tokyo come alive.

The book features more than 100 colour photos, as well as approximately 60 brand new full-colour maps and diagrams of individual sites. It also comes with a full-colour pullout map of the Tokyo walking tours.
