Tokyo: trendy and traditional

Tokyo has it’s imperial past and it’s modern future. The city is divided into wards, of which 4 encompass the huge business district. Many of Tokyo’s workers commute and it’s more than exhausting to also be caught in the flow of 3 million Japanese during rush hour on the train or riding the public transport. There are beautiful and serene gardens to admire and temples to meditate and pray in, palaces to dream about and museums filled with facts to soak in. Tokyo is as much about culture and well, culture, as it is about experience. It is important to get the real feel of this country’s capital, appreciating the style and way of life of Japan but also the rapid pace that the city operates at.

Japanese locals cherish their traditions and take ceremonies and festivals as an opportunity to pass down knowledge, stories and techniques from one generation to the next. Visit the carefully trimmed trees and peaceful lotus flowers in the East Gardens at the Imperial Palace, get your hands dirty at the fish market, learn to roll sushi properly, watch an anime movie, make a wish at a temple and light a candle at the great lantern festival. This city may never sleep but always looks rested, mostly thanks to the sencha green tea and baths. Traditionally bathhouses were communal places where friends and family met to chat, something many still do. Clean yourself in the designated area before getting into the bath tub, a small upright one with very hot water up to your neck. Relax and soak. If your hotel doesn’t have traditional ask where you can find an o-furo-ya. More delights await you when you find cheap flights to Tokyo!
