衣食住行
1.文化习俗
Japanese culture in Tokyo is all about the blend of the old and the new. Centuries-old temples rub elbows with modern skyscrapers and while consumerism runs wild on the streets, citizens are expected to maintain a rigid code of conduct, even in private. Most travelers have probably heard of the Japanese tradition of bowing as a greeting. It's easy to get overwhelmed with the rules, but as a westerner, you aren't expected to be well-versed.
东京的日本文化是关于新旧交融的。几个世纪以来，古老的庙宇与现代摩天大楼摩擦，而消费主义在大街上肆意横行，市民们被期望保持一套严格的行为准则，即使是在私下里。大多数游客可能都听说过日本人鞠躬致意的传统。你很容易被这些规则搞得不知所措，但作为一个西方人，你不应该是一个精通的人。
2.吃什么
If you consider Tokyo's large amount of restaurants (more than 160,000) combined with the number of prestigious dining awards the city holds (it boasts the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world), it's easy to see why Tokyo is considered by both chefs and culinary critics to be the foodie capital of the world. But numbers are hardly an accurate reflection of what makes Tokyo's dining scene so noteworthy. Experts say the country's quality of local ingredients, lax import laws (goods are brought in from Europe daily), immense dedication to culinary traditions (both to Japanese fare as well as to other global cuisines) and an aptitude.
如果你认为东京拥有大量的餐馆(超过160000)结合著名的餐饮奖城市拥有的数量(它拥有世界上最米其林星级餐厅)，那么您就猜对了。很容易看出为什么东京被厨师和美食评论家认为是世界美食之都。但数字并不能准确反映出东京的餐饮景象如此引人注目。专家表示，中国的原材料质量、宽松的进口法规(从欧洲进口的商品)、对烹饪传统的巨大贡献(既包括日本菜，也包括其他全球菜系)和天资。
3.安全信息
For a big city, Tokyo is pretty safe. Crime rates are low and there isn't much of a reputation for pick pocketing (compared to Europe). Actually, Japan as a whole is considered to be one of the safest countries in the world. However, if you do plan on going out, keep your guard up at all times and be selective where you choose to party. Shinjuku, especially the red light district of Kabukicho, has seen its fair share of seedy activity and crime. The State Department reports that theft and assault have occurred here, as well as in the neighborhoods of Roppongi (an expat community) and Ikebukuro. Even if you steer clear of these areas, the State Department still recommends staying on your toes when partying anywhere in Tokyo. For more information, visit the State Department's website .
对于大城市来说，东京是相当安全的。犯罪率很低，而且也没有多少人会因为扒窃而名声大噪(与欧洲相比)。事实上，日本作为一个整体被认为是世界上最安全的国家之一。但是，如果你打算外出，随时保持警惕，选择在哪里参加聚会。新宿，尤其是歌舞伎町的红灯区，已经看到了它的肮脏活动和犯罪。美国国务院报告说，这里发生了盗窃和袭击事件以及在Roppongi(一个外籍人士社区)和Ikebukuro社区。即使你避开这些地区，美国国务院仍然建议在东京的任何地方聚会时要保持警觉。更多信息请访问国务院网站。
4.出行
The best way to get around Tokyo is the subway. This extensive, efficient network will take you anywhere in the city as quickly as possible. The subway also connects to Tokyo's two major airports – Narita International Airport (NRT) and Haneda Airport (HND). The bus system is even more pervasive than the subway; however, it's subject to traffic delays and usually confuses travelers who don't know Japanese. The city is too massive to be covered on foot, but you should stroll through the individual neighborhoods to enjoy Tokyo's hustle and bustle. Taking a taxi can get costly, but will be necessary when the subway is closed late at night and early in the morning. And if you don't want to hail in the middle of Tokyo's chaos, the city has Uber
游览东京最好的方法是乘地铁。这个广泛而高效的网络将会让你在这个城市的任何地方尽快。地铁还连接了东京的两个主要机场——成田国际机场(NRT)和机场(HND)。公交系统比地铁更普遍;然而，它会受到交通延误的影响，而且通常会让那些不懂日语的旅行者感到困惑。这座城市太大了，无法步行，但你应该漫步于各个社区，享受东京的喧嚣。乘坐出租车可能会花费很多钱，但在深夜和清晨地铁关闭的时候是必要的。如果你不想在东京的混乱中欢呼，这个城市有Uber。
