Tokyo in a phrase would be "the city of encounters". Growing up in rural Hyogo Prefecture, Tokyo was a city of dreams, filled with the energy of information, people, and bright lights. I've now been in Tokyo for eight years, but every day is still filled with creative and new findings. The city is made up of the dreams, encounters, and humanity of its people, and this, in turn, means there is an equal number of failures, breakups, and lost hope.
