The Japanese capital has long been associated with crazy culture, kaleidoscopic colors and cutesy Kawaii.

And that’s not even mentioning the incredible gastronomic explosion that characterises the city’s foodie scene, from the unbelievable array of street-food favorites like bento and sashimi to some of the most glitteringly chic restaurants in Asia. Combine that with Tokyo’s completely unique, edgy and sometimes downright bizarre personality, and a more exciting city you couldn’t discover.
