Tokyo is the capital of Japan and this country's largest city. It is a huge metropolis with lots to see and do. I used to think I could never live in Tokyo but after visiting a couple of times I think that may be possible. Tokyo is probably the most interesting and exciting city I have been in, in the whole of Japan.

Mysterious, traditional yet the ultimate in hi-tech living - Tokyo, to me, has always been the most alluring city in the world. (in a funky kinda way). Each visit I get a different perspective. It's time I take another trip to Edo! Excellent page!
