Tokyo and The End of Heisei
The last summer of Heisei in 2018 was a prime example of how much times have changed in Tokyo. On the social aspect we have new crowds of people coming in from all over the world, new buildings and infrastructure being built, new and old cultures clashing. But also environmentally, record high temperatures and the glaring sun were affecting peoples' health and living, tied in with climate change.
Tokyo has always been a chaotic city, but the chaos somehow seems to be multiplying. The Reiwa Era will without a doubt, be no exception.
