LOST iN Tokyo Guide
LOST iN Tokyo Guide
Details:
Tokyo. The world’s largest metropolis is startlingly creative and rigorously traditional, spotlessly organised and crazily confusing, soaked in ancient history and perpetually on the cusp.
Everything imaginable is collected in one vertiginous metropolis: from a galaxy of Michelin stars to stellar street food, cosplay wackiness to catwalk winners, and pleasure services so left field they’ve even left the field.
But the dense metropolis has a quieter side in its alleyways and hidden corners. Its interiors hold a million surprises: a classy piano bar can be on the 8th floor above a fetish club, and heavenly yakiniku three floors below ground.
In a city with more than 80,000 restaurants a complete guide is impossible. But an insider’s introduction will begin to unlock the wild mysteries of the Japanese capital.
This second edition of the Tokyo city guide maintains all of our best interviews and stories from our first edition, while adding updated recommendations, additional interview content, and a new, original short story from celebrated British author and Tokyo resident Pip Murphy.
Some local legends shared their side of the city: an arthouse filmmaker, the lady behind a famous fashion brand, a nightlife veteran and a top food critic. A feature exploring the vanished world of the yakuza is accompanied by an original short story exploring the juxtaposition of old and new. Get lost in the sights, sounds and flavours of the city. Get lost in Tokyo.
