Tokyo is a city of towering buildings filled with endless possibilities, and the districts offer a labyrinth of streets crowded with restaurants, cafes, karaoke clubs, bars, and gaming centers.

You can shop for high-tech electronics, explore old neighborhoods, sing your heart out at karaoke, enjoy the best sushi, and there are plenty of things to do around.
