Visitors to Tokyo, the capital of Japan will witness an impressive contrast of the old and the new. The city is the very epitome of hi-tech with smartphones on evidence everywhere. At the same time, geishas can be seen dressed in traditional clothes that date back to the medieval period. Meanwhile locals will pray at a Shinto temple exactly as their ancestors have done for hundreds of years. Despite this, Tokyo is a thoroughly ultramodern capital city of worldwide repute.
