The Imperial Palace sits in the midst of enormous open nurseries. The city's numerous historical centres offer shows going from old style workmanship (in the Tokyo National Museum) to a recreated kabuki theatre (in the Edo-Tokyo Museum). Tokyo ranked first in the Global Economic Power Index Tokyo was ranked first in the “Best overall experience” category of Trip Advisor’s World City Survey and the city also ranked first in the following categories: “helpfulness of locals”, “nightlife”, “shopping”, “local public transportation” and “cleanliness of streets”
