Konichiwa. While actually visiting Tokyo remains hugely preferable, in credit crunch times we'll forgive you for seeking a flavour of the destination without the 11 hour flight. Tokyo Day, on the 31st January in London's Lawrence Hall, is the ideal chance to sample a destination that should be top of any uber-urbanite's wishlist. Visitors on the 31st can immerse themselves in the ancient art of the tea ceremony or become one with the brush as they experience calligraphy. Alternatively, enter the magical (if occasionally odd) world of anime, or enjoy the rhythmic beat of Wadaiko drums. Above all, it offers visitors a brief insight into the psyche of a race that is at once remarkably similar and completely 'other' from the Brits.
