Sightseeing in Tokyo
Tokyo, a city rebuilt quickly and without a plan, can appear unattractive and haphazard at first glance. However, look more closely to see that Tokyo is actually a collection of small towns, each with its own unique personality. The heart of the city is the Imperial Palace, and the Yamanote train line makes a circle around the city center. The popular sightseeing areas of Akihabara, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ueno all sit along this train line, and a collection of 274 stations sit along a 'spaghetti' of subway lines that make up the world's most extensive rapid transit system. Pop up out of any station to find treasures that have been hidden in every corner of the city.
