Tokyo|東京

Spend the morning in Asakusa, Tokyo’s historical neighbourhood, to see the Sensoji temple, then take a stroll along the Sumida River (in the spring, the cherry blossoms are in full force). Or, make your way to Tsukiji Outer Market for a sushi breakfast — the narrow corridors are packed with tons of spots to choose from (most close around noon so get there early). Turn up the volume — and get a taste for cosplay culture — in Harajuku, or hit Akihabara for video games and anime. In the evening, take a detour down a yokocho — a little side street alleyway — to find laid-back izakayas and chill bars.
That’s only scratching the surface — we’ve got more recs, below.
