NOTA (★)(1.Trying to find a simple definition with which to capture Tokyo is no easy task. First impressions can be bewildering, heads sent spinning by the neon tentacles and crowds of the contemporary metropolis. Yet, pause to study Japan´s capital and deeply rooted traditions soon come into view. Pockets of calm reveal themselves. Tokyo is a multifaceted city full of mesmerizing and often bewildering contrasts and contradictions. In this book, local Tokyo expert Rob Goss takes readers through the varied patchwork of districts and sights that shape Tokyo and its environs, from the chic streets of Omotesando to the Tosho-gu shrine complex in Nikko, north of the city, built to enshrine Edo-era shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, who played a pivotal role in Tokyo´s early history. In the process, the book delves into Tokyo´s defining traits -the city´s Edo-era roots, its thirst to both modernize and yet retain its traditions, the culinary heritage, the impact of its vibrant youth, and more besides. With it, the combination of imagery and text goes beyond guidebook boundaries, offering insights into one of the world´s great cities ; ideas and inspiration for places to visit instead of itineraries ; a window onto Tokyo and its people. 2.Initially arriving in Japan in 1999 to teach English for a year, Rob Goss has ended up staying far longer than planned without really understanding why. Cupid´s arrow has certainly played a part, as has the pitter-patter of part-Japanese, part-British baby feet that followed. Living in a city that never ceases to amaze helps too. Then there´s having a job he loves -having written about Japan for magazines such as Time and National Geographic Traveler and, at latest count, some 70 other magazines, book publishers and newspapers around the globe. Rob is also the author of the award-winning Tuttle Travel Pack Japan, recipient of a Gold Prize at the 2013 North American Travel Journalist Association Awards.)
