If you live in a massive urban centre, like say a capital, then one of the things you come to expect is convenience. While city life may have its drawbacks, it also has its advantages and the ability to do a lot of things more conveniently than you could normally, or the ability to just do them at all, is definitely one of these advantages.
In London this convenience came in various ways however since moving to Tokyo one thing has become quite clear to me. And that is that London has nothing on Tokyo when it comes to convenience. After 5 months I already struggle to think of anything that London offers convenience wise which Tokyo doesn’t. The only one that springs to mind is 24 hour transport, and even that isn’t so convenient when you consider the alternatives on offer in Tokyo at nightime.
Tokyo is a convenience city. I’m not quite sure how things are elsewhere in Japan, but from what I’ve been told a lot of the other big urban centres share many of what Tokyo has to offer, though as the capital Tokyo obviously takes the crown.
