Tokyo is a famous city. There are a few good buildings and impressive temples; there are a few parks worth visiting. Everything has to be small in Tokyo: houses, rooms, shops. Long-side streets consists of tiny houses only, and this often creates a toy-like, with small women tip-toeing along in their kimonos.
Tokyo at night is a very different place from Tokyo in daytime. Millions of neon signs are switched on and nowhere in the world is more attractive.
A town is not its building alone; it is an atmosphere, its pleasure, its sadness, its

and excitement; it is alive. I found it a mysterious and loveable city.
