ABOUT TOKYO
Japan's capital, Tokyo.
While the city is known for its safety and order, cutting-edge technology, and transmitting new culture and trends such as anime and fashion into the world, it is also a place where the chic culture of the Edo period remains even now. This distinctive combination of traditional and modern is what makes Tokyo so appealing.
The city has many faces. If you move away from the rows of skyscrapers lining the streets in the city center and turn to the suburbs and islands, you can also find beautiful scenery surrounded by lush greenery and the ocean here.
This is an introduction to the diverse appeal and distinctive character of the various regions of the Tokyo metropolitan area.
