A First Timers Guide to Tokyo

Tokyo is enormous and busy and still somehow runs with a quiet sense of order, with trains that arrive on the minute and streets that stay remarkably clean. The culture shows up in small, careful details everywhere you look, and some of the best meals happen at tiny counters with only a handful of seats or even at the corner convenience store. Spend a little time wandering and each neighborhood starts to feel like its own small town, which is a big part of why so many travelers leave already planning their next visit.
