Have you heard about "Jiyugaoka"?
How about Asakusa, Kamakura, Hakone, or Nikko? Shinjuku, Harajuku, Akihabara, Odaiba?
If you're tired of historic spots or skyscrapers that actually all look like same to you, Jiyugaoka "the most want-to-live town in Japan" may be the place to touch the real Tokyo life.
