Description
Neon Lights in Tokyo is your guide to navigating the colossal world within a world that is Tokyo. A city of almost 40 million people, Tokyo is a jungle of skyscrapers with labyrinthine subterranean roots.
Japan's capital is big, bold, and often highly intimidating to the uninitiated. But this needn’t be the case. Neon Lights in Tokyo will not only introduce travellers to the heart of this densely packed and buzzing metropolis but also the village-like atmosphere of its smaller suburbs, helping you to find the best restaurants, the best bars, the best shops and the best attractions hidden within the urban jungle.
This book is also a guiding hand through the intricacies of Tokyo culture and its residents’ obsessions, from craft beer to coffee, baseball to ramen noodles. Tokyo is the most exciting city in the world – and it’s time to dive in.
