In a sprawling metropolis of 13 million, it may at times seem impossible to find any place in Tokyo that hasn't been trampled by thousands of feet before you've set eyes on it. Duck into Shibuya's back alley, open that unmarked door with just a whisper of music behind it in Shimo-Kitazawa, or hop on that local train going past the city limits to Machida, and you'll be surprised at what goes on away from Shinjuku's shiny veneer.
