Arriving in the capital
Tokyo at our second arrival still was a bit overwhelming like the first time. Not surprisingly so as we found out later Shinjuku is the biggest train station in the world with their count of people entering and exiting every day. In a big crowd of people we had to organise our connecting train to Shinjuku, the suburb we were staying at. Not the …
Tokyo – Shinjuku Take 2
written by Betty:
Our return to Shinjuku was less overwhelming as to the first one given we now knew our way around a little. Our early flights from Seoul and train ride from Narita airport to Shinjuku meant by the time we reached the hotel it was mid afternoon already.

Kamakura
We awoke and headed south on the Japan rail to a small seaside town called Kamakura.
Kamakura is home to many things, but the thing that was most endearing to us was the pleasant beach town vibe (the gigantic Buddha is pretty impressive too). We made our way toward the Kotoku-in temple that houses the Daibutsu (great Buddha). For a …

“ Best Western Astina ”
Reviewed Oct 31, 2011
As far as location goes- this is a great hotel. 10 minutes walk to Shinjuku Station and right in the heart of Kabukicho. Rooms were comfortable and quite spacious by Japanese standards. Breakfast buffet was reasonable and the facilities excellent. The only fault - and this is not a facilities excellent. The only fault - and this is not a small issue - was that the staff were less than friendly and helpful (actually one particular staff member was extremely rude when we tried to arrrange to have our luggage sent from Tokyo to Kyoto) - however, overall a very convenient and well-priced place to stay to experience Tokyo.
