They don't come any cooler than Tokyo. By turns hitech, lo-fi, conventional and outrageous, Tokyo is a city that shouldn't work but does. Promenade with the goths of Harajuku, feast your eyes on the blazing lights of GinZa, and unwind in an intimate izakaya. For a city as stylish as Tokyo, you need a smart and streetwise guide.This is it.

When you first step off the Yamanote Line, you"ll find a tangle of sounds and stars and telephone wires. Iridescent tiles on a nearby building will glisten, and bells and whistles will filter through the din of the crowd as the automatic sliding doors of a pachinko parlour half a block away open and close intermittently.
