Hello.
I'm from center of Japan. It is Tokyo. I have lived there since I was born. I think that Tokyo is few place to travel although I might not notice. But We can do whatever we want to do. Price of things and land might expensive(in actual, they are falling), but I haven't felt inconvenient. Train is hardly late. The shops called Convenience store We can buy necessity are always open. Hospital and cloth shop is up-to-date. In addition, I think service of staff is the best of all over the world.
Of course, there are also some problems. The population of Tokyo is about 13 millions in spite of being small in space. The density of population is terrible. When I commuted to school, I must have been contained to full trains more than Baker Loo Line. It is so crazy.
Tokyo is called "Global City". It is one of the city deciding world affair. The rate of growing was tremendous till 20~30 years ago, but Tokyo is recession although all developed country is so. As a result of it, Tokyo doesn't only change this 20 years, but also increase many problems: aging, pension, politics, sovereign risk, too much vending machine and so on.
Finally, I will explain about pictures.
Second picture is the place "Shibuya" of Tokyo. There are always so many people. Especially, young people go out there.
Third picture is "Tokyo Sky Tree". It is under construction, but will be height of more than 600 meter. It is about twice as big as "Tokyo Tower".
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteKenzo, this is a really great piece of writing.
You touch on lots of big social issues like the aging population, overcrowding, consumerism, the global economic crisis and so on. really, really interesting stuff.
Thank you.
I haven't been to Tokyo for a few years now, but it's one of my very favourite cities in the world. It's got everything: great restaurants and bars, great nightlife, great public transport that's hardly ever late, great variety of shops.
You're very lucky to live there.
Thanks again for posting.
