The story behind the picture

A city read through neighbourhoods

Tokyo offers constant changes in scale: transport interchanges, small streets, gardens, museums and skylines. A neighbourhood focus helps these contrasts become enjoyable rather than exhausting. The quiet moments often emerge between the major attractions.

Build each day around one part of the city with a few flexible stops. Check opening days and exact entrances for the places you most want to visit.
