Tokyo became the capital destroyed by the bombs of World War II in the heart of one of the largest economies in just over 50 years. After a ten-year economic stagnation, the city finally started to grow again with new projects and buildings, such as Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown, change the landscape of a city that never stays the same. Tokyo remains the perfect combination of Japan traditional and the modern technology of today.

In Tokyo, the efficiency of urban services and security of the tourist city surprise even more experienced. The city has the most efficient public transport system in the world, trains, buses and subway always run on time, and agents of the authority due to the low crime rate, are authentic tour guides because they spend most of their time to provide tourist information than law enforcement .

But Tokyo has another facet, modernity disappears into the streets lined with traditional houses of wood , electronic boxes that close at five o'clock and commerce that still has difficulty accepting credit cards. For tourists it is a complicated city to walk the streets have no name, the buildings and the houses have no numbers and there is little information in English. But, instead, is a city clean, safe and full of nice people and polite, which is always available to help others.

The giant city seem extending over an infinite area. The downtown area is comprised of 23 separate municipalities, or ku (Minato-ku, Shibuya-ku, Shinjuku-ku, etc..), And the city also has more than 26 "cities" or shi, located in the western region (Chofu -shi, Musashino-shi, Tama-shi, etc.).. When speaking of the entire metropolitan area of Tokyo, is also generally include the areas of Chiba, Kanagawa and Saitama, where Tokyo is also extended. The central region is surrounded by the Yamanote train line, the main and most important city. It is within this line that has the biggest tourist attractions and the best that Tokyo has to offer.

Prepare yourself, you've never been in a place like Tokyo. Thousands of advertising spotlights illuminate the city which seems taken from a science fiction movie. Here you can find everything for all tastes and what is most modern technology, fashion and architecture, because all the news and trends begin and end here. Tribes of all styles, Japanese proud of its three thousand years of history and tradition and tourists from all parts of the world into a homogeneous mixture that will leave every visitor jaw dropped.
