In evidenza

In a megalopolis such as Tokyo, a city whose greater region has a population of over 37 million people, each neighborhood has a distinct character. But none are as intense as Akihabara, the city’s tech, gaming and anime capital. On this self-guided walking tour with Context tour guide and journalist Manami Okazaki, you’ll discover the myriad of shops and entertainment complexes that make up this fascinating suburb. Starting in front of Kenele Stand Akihabara Station, you’ll visit several locations that are representative of entire subcultures like Hello Kitty and military-themed manga. Manami will tell you all about the latest in cutting-edge tech trends, and the fantastical worlds portrayed in anime. You’ll also take a deep dive into the ways Japanese youth interact with technology.

About Tokyo

Quartieri al neon, santuari silenziosi, cucina superba e zone distinte compongono Tokyo, vasta e ordinata metropoli collegata da treni puntuali.

Ogni distretto sembra una città a sé. Il famoso incrocio di Shibuya e le torri, i bar e i vicoli di Golden Gai a Shinjuku pulsano di energia, mentre Harajuku unisce la moda giovanile alla calma boscosa del santuario Meiji Jingu. Ad Asakusa il tempio Sensō-ji e la sua via commerciale mantengono viva una Tokyo più antica, e Ginza offre grandi magazzini eleganti e gallerie.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
