Tokyo is the capital of Japan which has over 12 million people in the administrative metropolitan city, Tokyo which is the core of the most inhabited urban area in the world. This huge, wealthy and charming city which brings high tech visions of the expectations side by side with beautiful sites of old Japan which has something for everyone.
Tokyo geographically located at the center of the Japanese archipelago and in the southern part of the Kanto, Tokyo city divided in borders with Chiba region to the east extended along the River Edogawa, to the west of Yamanashi mountain range along with Kanagawa in the south and Saitama in the north. Tokyo extended 2187 sq km in area; inspite of Tokyo occupies only 0.6% of the countrywide land, which is the third smallest among the forty seven administrative divisions in a country. There are hills, plateaus, and mountains which are scattered around the city. Geographical area of Tokyo comprises of low land of four meter above sea level measuring 2000 meters in area.

The metropolitan are an integral part of life of millions of citizens worldwide, and especially for tourists, even a real piece of the city to remember with pleasure. For those who use them every day, are sometimes a pleasure, sometimes a strazio (especially at peak!)

Here are some of the metropolitan most famous in the world, and most impressive (good sense), according to Wired… It starts from the most used of all Tokyo, with its 8 million visitors per day, is not exactly relaxing…! Yet the Japanese are used to exploit even the few minutes between a station and another for providential pennichelle.

It then quoted the Moscow subway, with its stations built in Stalinist a, candlesticks, marbles, and luxurious decor! And yet London subway oldest in the world (the oldest line came into operation in 1863!), Which still serves 3 million people a day. And how can we not mention New York, with its lines in operation 24 hours on 24?

Finally we can certainly cite the “L” in Chicago, on the left in photo Metro is the second oldest in the world, as well as the first electrified, and elevated, which still goes literally over the heads of millions of people…

I know that purists of photography dislike this kind of techniques, but this picture, although full of color, I liked.

The picture, drawn up with a software HDR and resumed the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, better known by his nickname Tokyo Big Sight (a bit like Rome where if you want to get to the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana is good that ask the Colosseum square).

The Big Sight, a conference centre active since 1996 which is located on the island of Odaiba, a large artificial island in the Bay of Tokyo, has become an icon of this part of the city, so as to attract visitors beyond the institutional functions .
