Tokyo
can seem a city nearly perfect: trains run on time; the crime rate is low; shops and vending machines provide everything you could need 24 hours a day; it's filled with great restaurants and the coolest clubs. Visitors are often at surprised how affordable many things are, but then again, it's Tokyo and many things aren't cheap. But, make sure to step into the back streets for moments of calm and serenity, where wooden house stand quiet, and ancient temples and shrines wait patiently for the faithful. The Imperial Palace, too, keeps Tokyo tied to her intricate past of nobility, while she dances with the modern lights and music.
