Ancient-looking temples nestle alongside slick, modern buildings. The buzz of crackling neon + busy traffic lie just streets away from seemingly deserted alleyways. Hi-tech innovations share the spotlight with historic traditions + customs. Despite being the world's most populous metropolis, Tokyo's streets often seem eerily quiet.
It's this interplay between opposites - old and new, bold and subtle, modernity and tradition - that makes the place so special. This is a city that will continually surprise you.
