Tokyo: Wallpaper* City Guide by Phaidon Press

App description
The newly updated Wallpaper* City Guide apps present the best a location has to offer to the design-conscious traveller. Tightly edited and discreetly packaged, it is a precise, informative, insider’s checklist of all you need to know about the world’s most intoxicating cities.

The Wallpaper* City Guide apps contain the same content that you will find in the print edition but in a format that best utilises the capabilities of both the iPhone and iPad.

Whether you are staying for 48 hours or five days, visiting for business or a vacation, we’ve done the hard work for you, from finding the best restaurants, bars and hotels (including which rooms to request) to the most extraordinary stores and sites, and the most enticing architecture and design.

“Good for business travelers or if the city is just one stop of many” — NYTimes.com Style Magazine

Each guide presents a succinct selection of the city’s iconic architecture, the best restaurants, hippest bars and luxury hotels, as well as the most enticing galleries, shops and spas — perfect for business and design-savvy travellers.
