Update!

(15 August) The database should now be fixed, so there are no more stray funny characters... but there may still be glitches. I just discovered that all of the Peanuts puzzles had disappeared, because "artist=peanuts" was not matching "Peanuts"; so there is more to do in sorting out case-insensitive matching.

Database problem!

Apologies! A recent database upgrade has left lots of Japanese text corrupted, and also some variant characters, such as the e-acute in "Pokémon," not showing correctly. I am working to correct this but may take some days...

申し訳ありません 現在、データーベースの問題でほとんどのパズルの詳細などの日本語が文字化けになっています。修復するまで何日かかかるかも知れません。ご了承ください。

Jigsaw puzzles from Japan

Tokyo

Sights both ancient and modern

Tokyo probably does not even appear on the global map of tourist destinations, and perhaps most visitors see only the drab and functional concrete superficiality as they rush on their way to Kyoto. Yet there are plenty of places to see in Tokyo, both old and new. This page is not strictly limited to the city of Tokyo, but encompasses the whole metropolitan area around Tokyo Bay.

Some of the descriptions of Tokyo Tower are out of date, since the completion of "Tokyo Sky Tree", almost twice the height, at 634 metres. (The "Tree" seems to mean "Christmas tree".)
