旅游英语东京英语简介
the sheer level of energy is the most striking aspect of japan's capital city. tokyo remains a glittering example of the 'miracle' of post world war ii japan. streets are lined with tiny
specialist shops and bustling restaurants, most of which stay open late into the night. clo to the soaring office blocks exist pockets of another tokyo - an old wooden hou, a japane inn,报考二级建造师的条件
an old lady in a kimono sweeping the pavement outside her home with a straw broom. more than anything el, tokyo is a place where the urgent rhythms of consumer culture collide with the
quieter moments that linger from older traditions.
spring is the best time to visit tokyo, particularly as cherry blossoms begin to appear in early april and this is when the city is at its most beautiful. autumn is not a bad time to visit
either, with its cool temperatures and many clear days, while winter
is marked by the occasional snowfall but rarely freezing conditions. the city can be an unpleasant place during summer, when
torrential downpours and mugginess combine with the crowded public transport to wear down your calm visitor's fa?ade.
imperial palace
the japane emperor and the imperial family still call the imperial palace home, so unless you get a royal invite to tea tourists are restricted to the outskirts and the gardens. new year's
day 2 january and 23 december the emperor's birthday are the only exceptions to this rule.
the biggest draw card of the imperial palace, both literally and metaphorically, is edo-jo castle. from the 17th century until the meiji restoration, it was ud as the impregnable fortress
of the ruling shogun ate. over the years the castle was upgraded, added to, renovated and built onto with all the force of a rabid renovator. for a while it was the largest castle in the world
but all the diy'ing came to an abrupt end when large portions of it were destroyed in the transfer of power from shogun back to emperor during the
meiji restoration.
the imperial east garden is entered through one of three gates although
the most popular is the ote-mon, which was once the principle gate of edo-jo. the garden is an oasis of quiet after the
bustle of tokyo, and characteristically japane; a horizon of clear lines, an attention to detail and the religious placement of objects within
the landscape.
tokyo disneyland
you could be forgiven for assuming that the country that invented fake waves would jump at the chance to out-disney disneyland, so it comes as something of a shock to e such
uncharacteristic restraint. surprisingly mickey mou, donald duck and most of walt's other empire-building prototypes have been respectfully left alone and much of tokyo disneyland is an exact
replica of the californian amument park.
shinjuku
the shinjuku district is, without doubt, the most vigorous part of tokyo; two million people per day pass through shinjuku station alone. with a total lack of irony or tongue-in-cheekness,
the two sides - east and west - sit side-by-side in mutual harmony; west shinjuku is the staid, buttoned-down commercial hub of the city, while the east is its colourful, edy and exotic
counterpart. the west is planned, administrative and skyscrapped,
while the east side is rambling, chaotic and full of fast-food shops and pawn shops.
wandering the east side you'll be able to e the entire world go by while simultaneously having your ns assaulted by archetypal blade runner video billboards on the studio alta building,
a popular meeting place for tokyoites. other east-side attractions
include hanazona-jinja shrine, the many departmemt stores and the colourful
if risque kabukicho and golden gai areas.
sony building
the sony building, at the sukiyabashi interction, is a must-e for
all the cyberjunkies, digital-devotees, and playstation groupies. any
杨澜ted演讲稿electronic gizmo that has ever been invented is
barkhaun
here in the sony building, as well as some yet-to-be-retailed prototypes. with most of the displays being a hands-on proposition, it's an oversized kid's arcade.
the building itlf is a rather phlegmatic version of the sixties - a lot of function over form - but with eight stories of unadulterated electronic heaven who cares about the packaging.
ginza
despite its disaster-ridden history and propensity for shape-changing,ginza has become synonymous with conspicuous consumption and excessive shopping. at the end of the 19th century, after
fire razed it to the ground, it was ressurected in a london-cum-faux-parisian style with brick buildings and wide boulevards that mimicked the champs elyss. since then, earthquakes and wwii
carpet-bombing has en it gradually transform from continental chic to trans-atlantic functional, but it still pulls the crowds.
there are some jejeune shopping districts that have tried to wrestle the crown from ginza - they're more crowded, more opulent and hipper - but the grande old dame of ostentatious spending
stills retains her imperious snob value. rious shoppers don't leave town without swinging through the doors of matsuya, mitsukosh and wako department stores. the ginza strip is where you can
purcha novelty items who fetishistic value far outweigh its functional value, and indulge in a spot of retail therapy. window shopping is free, though, and the window displays in the
department stores are works of installation art in themlves.
ueno-koen park
if ginza is for shopping, ueno-koen park is for strolling, muum-hopping and temple-gazing. the area of ueno was historically the alamo of the last shogunate - site of his futile last-ditch
effort to prevent a takeover by the imperial army. today it's a

attractions inside the park include the tokyo metropolitan muum of art
if contemporary art is your bag this is a good place to start, the tokyo national muum, the national science
muum, the national muum of western art not only does the building hou some impressive examples of western art, the building itlf was built by le corbusier and the garden contains
original rodins including his iconic sculpture,the thinker, the tokyo metropolitan festival hall and the ueno-no-mori art muum, which often has calligraphy exhibitions scheduled.
one of the most frequently and fervently patronid temples in ueno-koen park is the kiyomizu kannon-do temple. women wishing to conceive leave a doll here for the 1000-armed goddess nju
kannon; after the dolls are burnt in an annual bonfire on 25 ptember,the women wait to e if kannon has granted them the gift of fertility.
hama rikyu detached palace garden
保姆日记下载
the hama rikyu detached palace garden, south of tokyo central, is 25 hectares 62 acres of tokyo's greenest, and most finely landscaped, pieces of real estate. in the 17th century it was the
happy hunting ground for the tokugawa shogunate but pasd into the hands of the good citizens of tokyo, post world war ii. the park is actually on an island, cut off from the surrounding
metropolis by an ancient walled moat and accessible by only one entrance over the nanmon bridge.
the park is a popular venue for a stroll becau it feels deceptively large and has an unusual emphasis on water. the huge shiori pond is a focal point for visitors but its tidal pools,
teahous, bridges, pine trees, and pavilions for moon-watching all contribute to the garden's charm and photogenic appeal.
an entry fee ensures that the hama rikyu is one of the quieter and less-congested areas of tokyo, although the us'3 entry fee is waived for disabled travellers and one companion.
tokyo national muum

the tokyo national muum is one place worth going out of your way to visit. it holds japan's largest collection of japane art, as well as a number of fine sculptures and a not
inconsiderable number of antiquities. only a fraction of the collection is displayed at any one time.

lacquerware and calligraphy, archaelogical finds from throughout asia,japane archaelogical items, and masks and scrolls respectively.
the gallery of horyuji treasures is only open on thursdays and even then,if it is raining or humid, can be summarily clod. some of the galleries exhibits are over 1000 years old and great
care is taken to protect them from the effects of humidity and dampness.

the kite muum, just behind tokyu department store in shibuya-ku, is living reproof to all tho rinky-dink kites with plain plastic sails, ply wood frames and a sunday driver at the end of

the string. most of the 4000 kites houd in the muum are traditional japane kites edo nishiki-e dako but there are some fine examples from china and other asian countries.catalyst
the frames are mainly bamboo while the sails are made of 'washi', a type of handmade paper made from the kohzo tree a species of mulberry。 the paper is both lightweight and strong.
illustrations are first outlined in dark sumi ink to restrict the pigments to the desired areas and then the artist goes to town on the design itlf. kite scenes include scowling kabuki
actors, samurai warriors hacking each other to death against a busy backdrop of psychedelic swirls and cute fluffy 'hello kitty' type animals doing unnatural things.
the muum is situated on the 5th floor of taimeiken, a well-known restaurant, located in downtown tokyo. it's cramped and pokey and lacks explanatory material, but its still a unique muum
with a unique collection.
tokyo is rviced by two major airports, narita and haneda. there are 12 subway lines operated by two companies. the subway rvices are esntially the same and have good connections from
one to the other, although they do operate under parate ticketing systems. driving is possible in tokyo, but not without its frustrations,jams and high tolls. unless you're heading out of
