The United Kingdom's The Telegraph has posted a Tokyo city break guide on things to do an see in Japan's capital city.
It begins with an overview of Tokyo. It starts with:
Tokyo is a mega-metropolis of dizzying contradictions, both familiar and foreign. It has neon, skyscrapers, salaryman crowds, packed trains, cutting-edge architecture and futuristic technology. But it also has ancient shrines, plant-covered wooden houses, cycling grannies, old-school sweet shops and village-like lanes.The guide's features include Tokyo hotels, attractions, restaurants and nightlife. One of the hotels the article reviews is the Fukudaya Hotel (it is actually a ryokan or Japanese inn). I stayed there during my first trip to Japan in 2001.
