I think this is the face of Tokyo that the residents see daily, where tourists dont take much notice.

Good pics nonetheless

i just wanna ask one honest question:

many photos i see of Tokyo, are not showing anything AMAZING or incredibly good-looking. yeah there r some amazing parks, and structures and the fact that the city is massive, but apart from that?
I mean, does it have amazing architecture? i didnt see photos showing it...
so why are so many ppl so excited about this city?
there r many massive and exciting cities in Asia including Hong Kong, Bangkok and Shanghai, and amazing beach cities such as Rio & Sydney... when Tokyo doesnt have the great beach weather nor does it have anything more than what nyc for example, has to offer... does it?

would b glad if someone could explain to me what the excitement is all about...

It's more on the vibrancy of the streets and the advanced technology they use, so it's not so evident from the skyline and building shots. You really need to be on the ground to observe how they get on with their ordinary lives and how orderly the place is for a city of some 30 million.

The word that crosses my mind when viewing the images is patchwork. Is there something like a masterplane for urban development or is everyone free to build anything?

Impossible not to like Tokyo. Such an amazing, cosmopolitan, stylish city. And very clean and organised despite its HUGE size.
