Visit Tokyo by Tripmart
Tokyo
is vast: it's best thought of not as a single city, but a constellation of
cities that have grown together. Tokyo's districts vary wildly by character,
from the electronic blare of Akihabara to the Imperial gardens and shrines of
Chiyoda, from the hyperactive youth culture mecca of Shibuya to the pottery
shops and temple markets of Asakusa. If you don't like what you see, hop on the
train and head to the next station, and you will find something entirely
different.
The
sheer size and frenetic pace of Tokyo can intimidate the first-time visitor.
Much of the city is a jungle of concrete and wires, with a mass of neon and
blaring loudspeakers. At rush hour, crowds jostle in packed trains and masses
of humanity sweep through enormous and bewilderingly complex stations. Don't
get too hung up on ticking tourist sights off your list: for most visitors, the
biggest part of the Tokyo experience is just wandering around at random and
absorbing the vibe, poking your head into shops selling weird and wonderful things,
sampling restaurants where you can't recognize a single thing on the menu (or
on your plate), and finding unexpected oases of calm in the tranquil grounds of
a neighbourhood Shinto shrine. It's all perfectly safe, and the locals will go
to sometimes extraordinary lengths to help you if you just ask.
Expenses
The
cost of living in Tokyo is not as astronomical as it once was. Deflation and
market pressures have helped to make costs in Tokyo comparable to most other
large cities. Visitors from San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, London,
Paris, Sydney, Toronto and Dublin will not find it any more expensive than back
home. Travelers should budget a similar amount of money for their stay in Tokyo
as they would for any other great city in Europe, North America or Australia.
Locals will know the bargains, but experienced cheapskates from anywhere in the
world can get by with a little ingenuity. Tokyo is one of the most popular
places to live in Japan. It is also rated the fifth most expensive city to live
in, in the world. Rent for a single's apartment could range from $US500 to
$US1,000 a month. Tokyo is so overwhelmingly crowded that apartments are
usually no bigger than 175 square feet (16 square meters).

Tokyo
is classified as lying in the humid subtropical climate zone and has four
distinct seasons. Summers are usually hot and humid with a temperature range of
about 20-30 °C, though it can sometimes climb into the high thirties. Winters
are usually mild, with temperatures generally ranging from 0-10 °C, though
occasional cold spells can send temperatures plummeting below zero at night.
Snow is rare, but on those rare occasions (once every few years) when Tokyo is
hit by a snowstorm, much of the train network grinds to a halt. The famous
cherry blossoms bloom in March-April and parks, most famously Ueno, fill up
with blue tarps and sozzled salarymen.
