Tokyo is truely an amazing city. Despite its sheer size space is used intelligently. Restaurants and public areas had ample space, people were polite and friendly, good quality food was abundant, transportation easy. Apart from a few minor points everything was very well organised and ran smoothly. Other smaller cities would do well to take of Tokyo when making excuses for their own failings! The rumours of great expense were partly true. Accomodation was expensive, but we found eating out and food in general to be much cheaper than Switzerland! Japan seems to be a country happy to specialise in high-tech industries, while importing the food they need. Very few countries can boast the trade surplus of Japan!
