The city of Tokyo has many slopes and stairs. It has a more three-dimensional topography than is generally imagined. Walking through areas where old streets and townscapes still remain, you will encounter slopes and stairs leading to hilltops and backstreets. This is the charm of this city that you cannot see on a two-dimensional map or route map.
東京の街には坂道や階段が多い。一般的に想像されるより、立体的な地形の都市なのだ。古くからの通りや街並みが今も残るエリアを歩くと、ふとした場所に丘の上や裏通りに続く坂道や階段に出会うはずだ。それは2次元の地図や路線図では見つけられない、この街の魅力だ。
