Japan’s capital is a city that can feel completely different from one neighborhood to the next. There’s the glitz and glamour of Ginza, games and pop culture in Akihabara, sumo traditions in Ryogoku, and ever-changing trends in Shibuya and Harajuku. Head elsewhere and you’ll find quiet residential streets, pockets of nature, tiny bars and live music, alongside reminders of the Edo that Tokugawa Ieyasu made Japan’s seat of power in 1603.
Tokyo rarely seems to sit still, and yet it never quite lets go of its past. However much you see, there’s always another neighborhood, another story, and another side of the city to find.
