Tokyo has relatively little to see in terms of sightseeing or
historical interest as much of the city was destroyed by either
the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, bombing during World War II or criminally shortsighted architects. But it is the capital
city of Japan and also its economic, cultural and political heart.
And this heart of some 12 million people is constantly beating
at a furious pace. The first impression many visitors get is of
the sheer number of people everywhere. But there are some oases
of tranquility and even a few windows on life as it used to be
lived in the past. Getting around the city is quick and convenient,
with punctual train, subway and bus services. The Yamanote Line
forms a loop around the city and is a good way to travel between
the main centers.
