Upon arrival in Tokyo, one might think the city is hectic and expensive. As you move through the partial accrual of crowds, but you will quickly find out that all but runs relatively quiet and puts away the Japanese felt this rush very well. A ride on the subway, which is often too crowded, can last for ever 90 minutes, then read, sleep or just simply stood in the crowd. Some subway stations produce loose in a day and time from the population of Berlin! Here the magnitude of the largest metropolitan region in the world is once more clear, because living in Tokyo and the surrounding area over 35 million people. Well, the impression of bustle is deceptive So how was that with the prices now? Quite right, life in Tokyo is expensive! Considering only time that the rent of a 40m ² apartment in Tokyo can amount to 1,200 euros, is already quite clear. Of course there are also some cheaper apartments, where you then must make some sacrifices, however. Imagine that every 6 minutes on an above-ground subway directly over your home such noise makes that you no longer understand your own word (which relates to the housing for the employees of the railroad company, which lie directly under the high-track), or They open a window on the 8th floor and have “beautiful” view of vehicles which pass at you, eye to eye, mind you, – yes, this is Tokyo, lots of traffic and prefer storey house.
As roads and railways now have no place where to parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities? Are parks, unfortunately, far too little, given the size of the city – concrete as far as the eye and there’s been little room for green spaces now, one solved the problem with the playgrounds and recreational facilities in the usual way – on it always on top, on the houses! Thus one finds in a dizzy height on the roofs of skyscrapers fenced playgrounds or meet directly on the high road to a tennis match – all quite normal here, as the Japanese place.
