Tokyo is the capital
and largest city of Japan. The city is probably the largest
metropolitan area that I have ever been to. The skyscrapers and
high rise buildings seem to go on forever, but they also have old
shrines and buildings too from many generations past. The sushi
at the Tokyo Fish Market is just amazing. Getting around Tokyo,
one can take the metro or other trains, but it does get crowded during
rush hour.
