Tokyo is a city of superlatives. Japan’s beguiling capital sports more Michelin stars than anywhere else on Earth, encompasses the most populated urban area on the globe, and reliably ranks as the safest city in the world. Here, minutes are measured by clockwork trains, and seconds by millions of footfalls. Modern skyscrapers tower over timeworn back alleys, all stitched together with the promise of never-ending revelry. No matter how high your expectations, Tokyo goes so big you won’t want to go home.
