      Beautiful Japan - Leza Lowitz

      TOKYO

      Shop along tree-lined streets filled with exclusive boutiques, stroll in ancient temple grounds, strike a business deal on the thirty-second floor of a chrome-and-glass skyscraper, get swept up in the crowds, or sip sake with newfound friends in a bustling neighborhood pub. Tokyo—once a maze of rice-paddies and quiet wooded villages called Edo—is now a tableaux of old and new, where wooden houses meet modern skyscrapers on streets with no names. Welcome to the gateway of the twenty-first century.

      1. The triumphant twin towers of the Tokyo metropolitan government offices in West Shinjuku

      るところにあるだろう。

      One of the most photographed sights in Tokyo, Nijubashi Bridge reflects the glories of Old Edo. A bright day finds swans gliding in tandem beneath its arches, a vision of unruffled tranquillity. The first span is constructed with stones from the ancient castle walls, the second is made of iron and crosses a moat that has guarded the Imperial Palace in the center of the city for 350 years.

      2. Water lilies frame the Rokkaku-do at Shinobazu Pond, Ueno Park.

      The City by Night

      Lights, camera, action! What could outshine the luminous Tokyo night horizon, where a necklace of neon lights drapes from the stylish shopping streets of Ginza to the business district of Shinjuku to the entertainment center of Shibuya. Of course, if you like your night sky lit
