Tokyo: The Extraordinary Guide: An Insider Tour of Art, Food, and Culture

Johann Fleuri

Get off the beaten track with a deep dive into Tokyo as the locals know it: a fascinating blend of modern design, world-class food, breathtaking natural beauty, and profound cultural heritage.

This luxuriously designed volume will take you on a local's tour of the city, from learning about the history of Tokyo to experiencing a traditional bathhouse, sento, or delighting in the color and drama of a classic Noh play. Alongside the history, explore modern-day Tokyo with its vibrant and delicious street food scene, cutting-edge architecture and design, and the under-the-radar quiet spots to relax. There is a chapter for each of the key neighborhoods along with maps, walking itineraries, and lists of the essential pit stops. Whether you're planning a trip, have already been and want a keepsake to remember the city by, or are simply sitting at home longing to be somewhere else, this is the perfect book for you.
