From the Imperial Palace to the skyscrapers of Japan, Inc., Tokyo is home to more than 11 million people and a dynamic confluence of commerce, culture, and industry. Tucked among the city's thriving financial, industrial and entertainment districts are smaller neighborhoods with narrow streets, wooden houses, and handicraft shops, each with a flavor and history all its own. Though Tokyo is densely populated, it offers pockets of calm in beautiful parks and gardens, quiet residential streets, and tranquil temples and shrines.
