Tokyo: The Monocle Travel Guide Series

An epic journey through Tokyo’s outposts

Good food, design, retail, and more, this definitive travel guide will make you feel like a local no matter where you are from. It would take a lifetime to get to know every facet of Tokyo—so large that it spreads as far as the eye can see. But look closely and you will find a city of exceptional charm and breathtaking efficiency.

The Japanese capital is a fascinating tangle of opposites: the latest technology and traditional arts; crowded stations and quiet backstreets; concrete highways and green parks. Yet it all works like a dream.
