Publisher's Synopsis
Let Secret Tokyo guide you around the unusual and unfamiliar.
A building that acts as a giant firewall,a secret city centre canyon,a statue that cures warts, ultra-modern designer toilets, an extraordinary tree that helps you quit smoking, an electronic sunflower, a spectacular modern temple hidden in the heart of Shinjuku, a street that gives Tokyo taxi drivers
nightmares, a massive building that looks like a warship, forgotten rivers …
Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Tokyo swings between modernity and tradition, preservation of its heritage, sophisticated aestheticism and eccentricity, offering countless off beat experiences. The Japanese capital is home to any number of well-hidden treasures that are revealed only to
residents and travellers who find their way off the beaten track.
An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Tokyo well or would like to discover the other face of the city.
The definitive insider's guide to Tokyo.
