LOST iN Tokyo

Om boken

Tokyo. The world’s largest metropolis is startlingly creative and rigorously traditional, spotlessly organized and crazily confusing, soaked in ancient history and perpetually on the cusp.

Everything imaginable is collected in one vertiginous metropolis: from a galaxy of Michelin stars to stellar street food, cosplay wackiness to catwalk winners, and pleasure services so left field they’ve even left the field.

But the dense metropolis has a quieter side in its alleyways and hidden corners. Its interiors hold a million surprises: a classy piano bar can be on the 8th floor above a fetish club, and heavenly yakiniku three floors below ground.

Blowtorched mackerel, upscale downtown baths, shopping malls for supergeeks, gourmet chicken skewers, raw beef sushi, art in a shipping container and a story of anime sento...

Get lost in the city of neon lights and cherry blossoms.

Includes:
- 5 long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their relationship with Tokyo and their absolute favorite spots there
