Description:
|
Tokyo offers soaring castles, peaceful parks and gardens, fabulous modern hotels and restaurants, fun coffee houses, art galleries, and nightclubs. It is the pulse of modern Japan. It is a gourmet`s paradise, from small noodle shops to moderately priced traditional restaurants to exotic, international cuisine. Stroll around the Imperial Palace, with its walls and moats; visit the Meiji Shrine; soak up the ambience of the Korakuen Garden. At night you`ll be mesmerized by the neon world of the Ginza shopping district, or take in an unforgettable Kabuki performance or Noh play. See old Tokyo in lively Asakusa, with its wonderful shops and restaurants, or shop for the latest electronics gadgets in Akihabara. We`ll tell travelers how to find delicious sushi at prices well below the norm, which department stores have the best bargains, where to view authentic wood block prints, and how to cheaply get around town without getting stuck in Tokyo`s fabled traffic. We`ll tell readers about Tokyo`s best traditional Japanese inns as well as the deluxe and moderately priced hotels. We give you extensive walking tours of each district, and we hit both the highlights and the hidden gems; readers will discover countless museums, shops, parks and gardens, but also the unexpected pleasures of an early morning tuna auction, where to go for a perfect shiatsu massage, and how to participate in a tea ceremony or where to take a flower arranging class. Excursions include the former capital of Kamakura, with its multitude of temples in a lovely seaside setting, Nikko, home of one of the most ornate shrines in the world, the fast-paced port city of Yokohama, and a trip to legendary Mt. Fuji.
