Tokyo Retail Guide TOKYO Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Tokyo | 2019 0 Born of commerce and complexity, Tokyo is the very definition of a metropolis. Twenty-three wards, 39 municipalities, and 13.6 million people join to form Japan’s capital. Include the 3 surrounding prefectures of Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba, and you have a population base that exceeds 36 million people. Above the city’s busy streets, Japan’s economic engine occupies the office spaces of the seemingly endless metropolitan sprawl. Tokyo is the premier portal to world business in this part of the globe and it is one of the largest cities globally in terms of economic size as it has an estimated GDP of USD 973 billions. Tokyo is also home to 51 Fortune Global 500 companies and over 600 headquarters. Currently, Japan is enjoying the most stable political environment seen since Prime Minister Koizumi was in power. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his 3 arrows of aggressive monetary policy, flexible fiscal policy and growth strategy, including structural reform, have helped drive economic growth in the short term and the outlook for the economy under his leadership is positive. These policies and the anticipation of the 2020 Olympic and TOKYO Para-Olympic games are contributing to the record numbers of international tourists and the value of commercial and residential real estate in Japan’s larger OVERVIEW markets.

  • GAY JAPAN a Manaboutworld Insider Guide JAPAN: EVERYTHING IS an ADVENTURE
    GAY JAPAN A ManAboutWorld Insider Guide JAPAN: EVERYTHING IS AN ADVENTURE o best understand Japan, you should fly there on a Japanese airline. The pleasantness is stunning, and while you first notice it in the professional and gracious crew, it is not because of them. It is because of the high ratio of Japanese pas- sengers. An ancient culture of conformity, respect and ritual has begotten a modern culture of people who are unusually respectful, orderly and polite. There’s even an animated in flight video on JAL, demonstrating good flight etiquette, in- Tcluding things we’ve never done, like alerting the passenger behind you before reclining your seat. It sure makes for a pleasant cabin (as did the extra humidity and oxygen of the air on our 787 Dreamliner — that’s another story). But these same cultural forces are the ones that stunt the liberation of the Japanese LGBT community. They are at the heart of every internal Japanese conflict, an amplified expression of the conflict we all experience between holding on to the past, and growing into the future. It shouldn’t seem so foreign to us. But it does. And that’s the heart of any Japanese adventure. From its earliest interactions with Dutch and Portuguese traders, Japan has kept foreigners at a distance. And yet its rituals of hospitality are unrivaled in their intricacy and graciousness. For western travelers, a visit to Japan opens windows to both the past and the future. This is easily visible in the juxtaposition of tourist staples like tea ceremonies and bullet trains.
