Description

Discover twice the city in half the time as Lonely Planet's local travel experts reveal all you need to know to plan the ultimate short trip to Tokyo.

This latest edition uncovers the city's most popular experiences and unexpected surprises from spotting style trends past and present along Harajuku's signature shopping street Takeshita-dori; to catching the salt-slinging, belly-slapping ritual of sumo at one of three annual tournaments; and enjoying dinner and drinks at an izakaya: Japan's version of a pub.
