Travel Guide
Tokyo
A city of many shades and many colours. One where the bright lights either attract you or pull you too far into their grip until you can no longer see the dangers. At first Colin enjoys the traditional western things in the city – a typical hostel kind of place for a drink and some food – a so called izakaya. He gets a job teaching English at a school as so many Westerners do.
But this is not the side of the city that he’s come for. The glary and flashing lights of Tokyo itself – the entertainment of Roppingi and the central area of Shinjuku in particular are the parts of the city he is forced to confront. This is a dangerous Tokyo, a violent one which holds no prisoners and packs quite a punch.
When you are in the city – be sure to visit the bookstore featured: kinokuniya.com
