Cultural and aesthetic density

I like it because of its cultural and aesthetic maximalism. Every district, alley, and street corner seems to hold its own identity — a microculture shaped by an obsessive attention to detail. This can be seen in the design of a storefront, a hand-drawn anime poster fading on a wall, or the deliberate way a café arranges its menu and decor. The city feels layered, as if every square meter offers a new burst of visual or cultural stimulus.

Even its chaos feels intentional, as though every element, from neon signs to vending machines tucked between buildings, contributes to its maximalism.''
