A bowl of whisked green tea in the teahouse of Hama Rikyu Onshi-teien is about as Japanese as it gets. The garden was once a pleasure dome for the shogun, but now you too can pause and savour the moment, as ducks glide by in the pond at your feet and precision-plucked pines pose like puffed clouds. But cross the narrow wooden bridge over the pond and loook backwards: framing the teahouse, the pond and the pines are the skyscapers of Shiodome, gleaming glass and granite and all built since the turn of the millennium. If that´s not an only-in-Tokyo moment, then nothing is. • SLEEP IN STYLE – informative reviews of the best luxury hotels, traditional ryokan and top-value budget options make the decisions easy • NAVIGATE WITH EASE – clear and detailed maps with Japanese script take you where you want to go • TREAT YOURSELF – our authors have hand-picked the best designer wares, specialist music stores, tucked-away shopping streets and more • FEAST LIKE A LOCAL – discerning reviews deliver the gems, from decadent kaiseki to mouth-watering sashimi • ESCAPE FOR A DAY – head for the traditional temples of Nikko and Kamakura, or soak your bones in an onsen; our Excursions chapter has all the best tips
