I felt the same way about Tokyo, although that’s why I fell in love with it! So much contrast within one city, and so unexpectedly restorative and calm, to boot. My hunch is a lot of Japanese culture takes place “underground,” at night, and way up high in its skyscrapers. It’s a vertical city, meaning you can find bars, restaurants and shopping all the way up an elevator (unlike America where everything seems to happen on one the ground floor, loudly, in public view). Hard to crack as a visitor though, good luck and write a recap here when you’re back pretty please!!
