Q UP: Consider yourself a bit of a hipster? Then keep on top of what's happening in Japan's capital of cool by bookmarking this website. Find out what's on and what's coming up in Tokyo's arts and music scene, read reviews of the city's quirky and eclectic spots (from ancient steam-baths to underground theater companies) and peruse the Tokyoscape photo gallery and Jason Atomic's subway sketches for a glimpse of daily life.

BEHIND THE SCREEN

WISE UP: If you think the Japanese Diet refers to the benefits of sushi, then you shouldn't visit Japan without getting the scoop on the country's politics at John Neuffer's website. Neuffer, a senior fellow at the Mitsui Marine Research Institute, gives an up-to-date overview of events at the national and local levels (like the Tokyo governor's election, taking place Apr. 11), as well as a mini-history lesson with lists of important dates and politicians, and the complete text of Japan's constitution.
