Summary

Un jardín en altura al que solo se puede llegar en ascensor, una “gran muralla” que sirve de cortafuegos gigante, un cañón en plena ciudad, una estatua para deshacerse de las verrugas, unos baños de ultradiseño, un parque para deportes únicos en el mundo, un árbol extraordinario para dejar de fumar, un girasol electrónico, un espectacular templo moderno escondido en el corazón de Shinjuku, una calle que causa pesadillas a los taxistas tokiotas, un edificio gigante con forma de barco de guerra, unos ríos ocultos, un parque dedicado a la filosofía, un estadio donde los cangrejos invadían el césped, un lugar sagrado para ver los cerezos en flor, un edificio con forma de robot de combate de ciencia ficción, unas estelas para las personas que han sido disecadas en pro de la ciencia, una granja dentro de unas oficinas, la excéntrica construcción del Gaudí de Tokio…

Lejos de las multitudes y de los habituales clichés, Tokio oscila entre la modernidad, la tradición, la conservación del patrimonio, el esteticismo refinado y excéntrico, a la vez que ofrece una cantidad incalculable de experiencias inesperadas. La capital guarda innombrables tesoros bien escondidos que solo desvela a los habitantes y viajeros que buscan salirse de los recorridos habituales.

Una guía indispensable para quienes creían conocer bien Tokio o para aquellos que desean descubrir la otra cara de la ciudad.

A building that acts as a giant firewall, a secret city centre canyon, a statue that cures warts, ultra-modern designer toilets, an extraordinary tree that helps you quit smoking, an electronic sunflower, a spectacular modern temple hidden in the heart of Shinjuku, a street that gives Tokyo taxi drivers nightmares, a massive building that looks like a warship, forgotten rivers ...

Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Tokyo swings between modernity and tradition, preservation of its heritage, sophisticated aestheticism and eccentricity, offering countless off-beat experiences. The Japanese capital is home to any number of well-hidden treasures that are revealed only to residents and travellers who find their way off the beaten track.

An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Tokyo well or would like to discover the other face of the city.

Author Biography

Nacido en Francia en 1976, Pierre Mustière vive en Tokio desde 1998. Casado con una japonesa menos enamorada de Tokio que él, apasionado por la historia de la ciudad e interesado por sus pequeñas historias, los fines de semana suele pasear por los rincones desconocidos de la capital nipona en busca de un puente perdido, de una callejuela oscura, de un santuario escondido o de un jardín oculto, para descubrir o redescubrir partes de esta metrópolis que creía conocer.


Pierre Mustière, born in France in 1976, has been a Tokyo resident since 1998. Unlike his Japanese wife he has a keen interest in the city's history. Intrigued by anecdotes about the Japanese capital, at weekends he regularly wanders around little-known nooks and crannies in search of a forgotten bridge, obscure alley, concealed shrine or hidden garden, to discover or rediscover pieces of this metropolis that he thought he knew.
