A travellers guide to Tokyo: The weird, wacky and wonderful

A woman in authentic costumes enacts Oiran, or high-class courtesans during the Edo period (1600 - 1868), in Tokyo's Asakusa shopping district. Perhaps being the very first European in Japan was very much a destabilising experience. After I had arrived in the dreaded dark with far more backpacks that one lone traveler should possess, and a dying battery with my hostel reservation precariously teetering on the edge of my failing technology, I stumbled and struggled my way around the backstreets of Tokyo, (Asakusa to be precise) searching out my refuge.
