Croissant Issue 1145 "Stylish Tokyo Guide."

Enjoy the Edo atmosphere
A stylish guide to Tokyo.

Tokyo attracts tourists from both inside and outside Japan.
While some areas are undergoing remarkable redevelopment,
bridges depicted in ukiyo-e have been restored in a similar form and have become key points for modern transportation,
and many dishes that were popular in the Edo period are still passed down and loved today.
It is a land where the "stylish spirit and traces of Edo" are deeply rooted everywhere.
This issue introduces Tokyo, where you can feel the breath of Edo up close.
Tokyo has been a place where the old and new, tradition and modernity intersect since the Edo period.
While walking through streets lined with new shops and long-established stores,
