Tokyo Trip Day 3

Day 3, woke up early to meet our personal tour guide. Then went to a restaurant called CASA to try the Japanese traditional breakfast. After that, we drove around Tokyo city. Tokyo is just a city full of buildings, as everyone knows. But those buildings are much more nicer than our country one. At least not only in rectangular or square in shape. Went to Japan government cabinet building but at outside only. Don't know why got a lot people there too to take pics.

The cabinet building behind us.

After that, Tokyo Tower. 333m high and the shape kinda same with The Eiffel Tower in Paris. Damn many people again. Wondering those local people why looks like never go to there own tourist spot before. Ticket is around RM 32.Queue for about one hour again. The step for this tour is kinda same like how we visit Petronas Twin Tower. Take lift to the top and look around the city. Can see many views like Mount Fuji, Shibuya, Yokohama port, Imperial Palace, Chiba, NTV network office, Shinjuku, Haneda Airport, Ueno, Ginza and others. Sounds like can't believe right?

One of the view.

Scary?

This pink guy is represent Tokyo Tower.

Tokyo Tower cool right?

Mum and I.

After that, went to eat lunch. Our lunch is soba and it is made from dry fish meat! DAMN NICE! 750 yen for medium and 850 yen for large size. That shop is only selling this soba and it is very famous. After that went to a place called Akihabara to buy adapter because the plug is not same with Malaysia one. Akihabara is a place which tourist must come to(this is told by the Chinese waiter on Day 2). Is like KL's Lowyat all selling 3C products. But it is damn expensive although all made from Japan and selling to Japanese.
Dinner time is around 630pm. My tour guide order sashimi and Asahi beer for me. And it is whole bottle for me. ZZZ. After dinner back to hotel rest because the next day need to wake up early again. But still I feel like want to go out walk more while. Then I alone walk to 7-11 Japan. Bought a magazine about guy's clothes. Saw porn magazine selling there too. Around 600 yen only. What a free country it is. All the shops almost closed and I no choice but walk back hotel lo. Then continue eat dessert again. =) The next day is.....DISNEYLAND TOKYO!

Asahi dry beer.

Mum's meal. The pic for my Sashimi was deleted accidentally.

Japanese machi.

Tokyo Trip Day 2

Wake up at 11am, but cant sleep well at all. Not get use to it. Go out have breakfast. Met a Chinese waiter. I ask him if there is any nice place to go around here, Asakusabashi. After done breakfast, walk around this place. Not many people on the road because of holiday in Japan at that time.

This place Asakusabashi is mean a bridge across Asakusa, and it is the river under it.

After that, mum and I decided to go to the Asakusa Temple, the oldest temple in Japan. Easy to go. Take the subway 2 stations reach. Full of people around that place. Actually 1,2,3 of Jan are Japanese New Year, and New Year of coz go temple 'bai bai' lo. We took almost 3 hours to get inside the temple. But half ways, a lot shops to see, got foods to buy on the way too so wont get bored.

The main gate.

This is some kind of 'machi' with peanuts on it.

This is ME!

Can you see the end of the people here?

Japanese people is so systematic.

Okay inside the temple is actually nothing inside except a pool that let people throw coins and make wish. Queue up for 3 hours but inside the temple 3 mins only. After that leave the temple, saw people 'chou chien'. Insert 100 yen then can see your fortune! I tried and got a good fortune! LOLNL.

The wishing pool.

Something nice to eat on the way into the temple.

Good Fortune!

530pm and already dark here. Around the temple got a lot shops to walk and eat. All selling traditional foods and goods. And all the way got a lot people around. We go back hotel quite early because the next morning need wake up early.

The night view of the main gate.

This is delicious!


Tokyo Trip Day 1

Flight to Tokyo is at 1250pm. MAS is a great airline. Everyone has a individual tv screen with a list of programs to let you choose to watch or listen. It is a 6 hours flight. And I watch 2 movies inside the plane. One is The Mummy 3 and another is HK movie. The HK movie is a very 'fei' movie. LOL.

The menu is awesome!


Japan Airline is beside my plane.

Pretty corner inside the terminal.

Another one...

And another....

And another.......Welcome to Japan.

Reached at Narita Airport around 650pm. Then take subway to the Tokyo city by ourself, then taxi to hotel. Long way to reach hotel from airport. Reached hotel at 10pm, finally. After check in and put down the luggages, out to find foods. Damn yeng! Almost all shops use vending machine to order foods. After that, walk around the place to let myself feel that i'm in Tokyo in real. LOL!
