White Rabbit Press begins its series of Tokyo audio tours with Tokyo Realtime: Kabukicho a dive into the haven of hostesses, sex clubs, love hotels, restaurants, and everything in between. The set comes with a CD with mp3 tracks that can be used with any portable audio player, an area map, and a book of photography from one of the world’s most infamous red light districts.
While the guide is surely useful for those visiting Tokyo in-person to navigate along to the narration, the crisp soundscapes can carry you here through your headphones as well, and the cultural insight is invaluable for anyone seeking to learn about modern and historical Japan at street level.
