Tokyo Like a Local

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

Experience Tokyo the local way with this insider's guide.

There's nowhere like Tokyo—soaring skyscrapers, striking temples, and enchanting cherry blossoms. But what's beyond the classic sights? American-style diners dishing up hearty bowls of soba noodles, basement bars hosting live "Discovery Channel with beer" talks, hidden bars pouring house-made yuzu—and that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's so much more to Tokyo than Sensoji Temple and Tokyo Tower—and who better to show you around than the locals?

This gorgeous insider's guide is packed with recommendations from Tokyoites in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangouts and hidden haunts. Of course, with a city as unique as Tokyo we could fill the pages of this book tenfold. Rather, Tokyo Like a Local offers a snapshot of local life, and it's yours for the taking.

Whether you're a Tokyoite looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish guide makes sure you experience the real side of Tokyo.
