Tokyo Encounter

Life in Tokyo moves at a well oiled clip, with an energy that borders on mania and an obsession with newness.

The Tokyo Encounter travel guide contains details coverage on strutting your stuff down the concrete catwalks of Harajuku, wandering through the vast food halls tucked below opulent department stores and donning colourful robes and soaking in steamy mineral baths at one of the city's osens. It also includes:

• full-colour pull-out map and detailed neighbourhood maps for easy navigation
• our experienced author recommends the top neighbourhoods, shops, restaurants, sights and
  entertainment
• unique itineraries and must-see highlights help you make the most of a short break
• locals reveal Tokyo’s insider secrets: from an Academy Award–nominated actress’ favourite theatres to an entrepreneur’s ‘quintessential Tokyo’ experiences
