This time we visit Shimbashi, a modern business district in the heart of Tokyo. We shine a light on its history as the terminal of Japan's first railway, take a stroll beneath sections of elevated track, and learn about Azuma-odori, an annual performance showcase for the neighborhood's traditional geisha entertainers. As day turns to night, we explore the local bar scene and discover why Shimbashi is considered an oasis for Japanese office workers.
