Tokyo information

Despite its aggressively western façade, Tokyo is still deeply rooted in Japanese tradition. The people are always courteous and consider shows of anger to be rude and a sign of weakness. Many believe that the new-wave yuppies are a sign of the beginning of the end of the old ways but, for now, even this sprawling, high-rise metropolis seems able to balance 21st century business ethics (or lack of) with traditional values. If nothing else, to most visitors Tokyo is intriguing, to some it is quite unfathomable, but to virtually everyone its appeal is undeniable.

If you're looking for entertainment, Tokyo has just about it all. Its major museums are world class, often recreational - the Edo-Tokyo Museum is dedicated to the period, and includes renovated 17th century farmhouses, workshops and stores and the Boso-no-Mura Museum is a reconstruction of how people lived in the Chiba prefecture 200 years ago. Cream of the crop is the National Museum, home of the best collection of Japanese art in the world, along with archaeological and Buddhist exhibitions and sections dedicated to China and Korea. Sumo is Tokyo's favourite sport and matches take place during January, May and September; it all starts around 10am and runs till early evening, with the top wrestlers appearing after 3.30pm. Japanese are renowned for embracing and emulating western culture, particularly fashion and music, so you'll find countless American Rock Venues, Irish and English bars - of note is the Cavern Club where the entertainment consists of look-alike Beatles tribute bands and the Double Decker Bus, which is a coffeeshop by day and a bar by night. Many of the trendier clubs stay open well into the early hours and there are plenty of great restaurants, noodle bars, live shows, concerts, theatres and strip bars in the busier areas around Shinjuku, Veno, Akasusa and Ginza.
