Tokyo is a huge city conglomerate extending through the valley Canto to the Tokyo-van Gulf. Almost completely rebuilt after the earthquake in 1923 and after the bombing of the United States during the Second World War, Tokyo was literally revived from the ashes. It can be roughly divided into dynamic business districts to the west of the main shopping center Ginza and more grounded residential areas in the east. The most striking feature of Japan's capital city is incredible energy. Although if you look at the picture as a whole, the impression is overwhelming: homes and offices, similar to shoes boxes, high-speed tracks hanging over the city, blocked up with cars. But it is the Japanese success story in action. Normal suburb of Tokyo is not yet accustomed to modern supermarkets, small shops and restaurants stretch out along the streets, most of them are open all night. Near to office buildings you can see small islands of another Tokyo - old wooden houses, Kimono shops, a Japanese hotel, an old Japanese woman in Kimono sweeping the pavement with straw broom near her house. More than anywhere else in the world, in Tokyo are combined fast rhythm of consumer culture and habits of traditional folk quiet life. This is a lively city, and here you will always find something to learn. Of great interest to Tokyo visitors is the imperial palace with moats surrounding it, filled with water. Tokyo imperial palace is the official residence of the Japanese emperor. Palace remains to be a closed territory. It is accessible only twice a year - the 2nd of January, when the imperial family accepts congratulations with new year, or the 23rd of December, on the birthday of the Emperor. Like their ancestors hundreds of years ago, the Japanese are fond of fish. They eat fish almost every day. Fish-market Tsukidzi is a treasure not only of fish, but of all kinds of fresh products, from seafood to vegetables and meat. They say this is the biggest world market for commercial space, earnings, volume of transactions, the number of buyers and vehicles. It is still obliged to fish for its glory.
