Neon Lights in Tokyo - (Curious Travel Guides) by Ben Groundwater (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

An insider's guide to the best places to eat, drink and explore.

Tokyo is a city of almost 40 million people. A metropolis so densely packed with cultures and sub-cultures, with fashions and trends, with traditions and rituals and norms. Japan's capital is big, bold, and often highly intimidating to the uninitiated. But this needn't be the case. Neon Wonderland in Tokyo is your guide to navigating the colossal world within a world that is Tokyo, to discovering the village-like atmosphere of its smaller
suburbs, to finding the best restaurants, the best bars, the best shops and the best attractions hidden within this urban jungle. This book is also a guiding hand through the intricacies of Tokyo culture and its residents' obsessions, from craft beer to coffee, baseball to ramen noodles. Tokyo is the most exciting city in the world--and it's time to dive in.
