- Culture of Tokyo
- "It is arguable that Tokyo is culturally the most varied city in the world."
- Tokyo dominates Japanese culture as no American city dominates American culture.
- Traditional art forms and modern culture can be seen side by side
- Traditional Culture--> museums, libraries, and the theatre are very important
- -Theaters and concert halls are a huge part of Japanese cultural
- -The most important cultural institutions (e.g., the Tokyo National Museum, National Diet Library, National Theatre, and - Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Kabuki Theatre) are found near national government offices or in Ueno. - -Geisha Girls can still be seen walking through Tokyo
- Modern Culture can be seen in neighborhoods--> Ginza (shopping), Roppongi (nightlife, night clubs, karaoke), Hibiya (Imperial Palace and the business district)
Wild Roppongi at night!
