Finding Old Tokyo

Author: admin

Finding Old Tokyo

Not only is Tokyo the largest city on our planet, it is one of the most modern. Searching for old Tokyo amidst Skyscrapers and automated, talking street signs would be futile. Of course, not all street life in Tokyo is so robotized. Take Yanaka Ginza, for example. This bustling shopping street is in the city's aged Taito district. Though this area seems rather run down compared to other parts of Tokyo, the atmosphere seems more authentic than anywhere else in Tokyo. Small eateries, teashops, and flower shops are mixed in with books stores and ramen shops. One gets the feeling that this was how all of Tokyo once was.
