Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Tokyo still has all the charms it's always had for Western visitors; they just costs more. Prices have shot sky high for accommodation; food and entertainment. But smart travelers can beat inflation by using business hotel instead of tourist palaces and eating in budget restaurants that the Japanese themselves use.
