Discovering Tokyo
As Japan's capital, Tokyo lays claim to be the largest, and most populated urban area on earth. The Ginza district near to The Imperial Palace is accepted as the centre of the city. Tokyo is divided into 23 self governing wards, each of these areas has a distinct shopping, business and entertainment centre. But hidden amongst the skyscrapers of Tokyo are some of its historical sites, an abundance of temples and Shrines are dotted throughout this modern metropolis.Life in Tokyo moves at a frantic pace, with energy that borders on mania, and an obsession with all things new. Yet beneath the neon spectacle and shiny façades, Tokyo throws out clear glimpses of its rich cultural heritage. While the super modern machine keeps turning, the basic heart of this intriguing city remains true to its Imperial origins.
