Tokyo Story is your guide to a truly surprising city.

Japan's capital is a buzzing metropolis that may seem immense, but look close and you'll find it's made up of smaller neighbourhoods, each with their own unique feel. Each themed chapter of this guide tells the tale of Tokyo's rich history, culture, and flavour to give you the full travel experience. You’ll find future fashions, the best ramen you’ve ever had, ultra-cool listening bars, crazy moments of pop culture, and fantastic things that are free.

Beautifully designed with the essence of this magical city in mind, Tokyo Story is an intimate curation of iconic locations and hidden gems. You’ll also find some handy tips on navigating Tokyo and Japanese etiquette. Explore under neon lights and out-of-this-world fashions, or roam hidden enclaves that still have classic Edo charm – make the most of every moment (and every season). There is simply no other place in the world like Tokyo.
