| Chuo
ku (Central City), is, as the name suggests, right at the heart of
Tokyo, containing the main JR station, bounded on the East by the
Sumida river and, on the West the Imperial Palace. It is home
to Ginza, formerly the most expensive shopping area in the country,
though now a fading glory as it struggles to compete with the up and
coming Omotesando. Perhaps more
importantly, it is also home to the Tsukiji fish market; you will
not believe it until you actually see it! Not surprisingly you
will also find some of the best food (not just fish) in the area as
well as the tranquil Hama Rikyu Gardens. |
