Street markets, temples, Zen gardens, museums, art galleries, architecture, high technology, neon lights... Tokyo offers a wide range of tourist attractions at which the visitor may stop by.

From the viewpoint of the Metropolitan Government Towers in Shinjuku, the visitor will be able to appreciate the imposing outline of Mount Fuji and Tokyo Bay, the latter over which the Rainbow Bridge crosses. The centre of Tokyo, around which runs the Yamanote train line connecting the main leisure areas and city services, is home to the Imperial Palace.

Other stations like Shinagawa, Ebisu, Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and Ueno lie on the edge of the centre and consist of urban nuclei full of shopping areas, bright-lit signs and large TV screens showing advertisements. The Eastern part of the city, the old town, is called Shitamachi, which means “low town”. This comprises the areas along the Sumida River, below sea level.
