My Tokyo

It blends old with new in seamless fashion, and is home to some of the world’s finest restaurants, but, says Akihiko Yamamoto, it’s impossible to capture Tokyo’s allure in a single visit

Tokyo is A fusion of tradition and modernity. in the upmarket shopping area of Ginza i can buy premium global brands before walking down towards Tsukiji market, the biggest and oldest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. on the way, it gives me a strange feeling to stand in front of kabukiza Theatre (Tokyo’s principal theatre for traditional kabuki drama) and see this palace of culture, built 130 years ago, surrounded by shiny skyscrapers. There are few other cities where you can experience so much history as well as the latest fashions in a 15-minute walk.
