Walking in Tokyo
Tokyo is the world's largest metropolitan area, but it is made of walkable neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Trains link them; walking is how you discover them.
Distances. Tokyo is vast. Walk within neighbourhoods and use trains between them.
Etiquette. Avoid eating while walking on busy streets, and carry your rubbish; public bins are rare.
