1-2-9 Kabukicho Shinjuku, Tokyo, Tokyo Prefecture, Kanto, Japan, 160-0020, 3-3200-0220
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 easiest task with all our luggage. Finally we were in a crowded tram on our way. Shinjuku itself started of equally overwhelming, even with a not very...
Tokyo, Kanto, Japan birkborkasson 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.
The Best Western Astina Hotel in Shinjuku is to be our home for the last 3 nights in Japan. The hotel is great, clean and comfortable. Staff are very nice and polite like all Japanese really.

... weg) und so schlugen wir die Zeit bis Morgens half fünf gemeinsam tot. Essen & trinken - Nette Kombination. Dann zurück ins Guesthouse meine Sachen holen und Richtung Airport aufbrechen. Abends zuvor hatte ich noch ein Paket gemacht, wo all das Zeug drin war, dass ich nicht mehr brauchte und darum nach Hause schicken wollte. Tja ab** die Post hatte halt Morgens um halb 6 noch nirgends geöffnet, und so stand ich schliesslich am Flughafen ...

Tokyo, Japan schwate... enough to show up when they were feeding the monkeys. These monkeys were crazy and they would come right up to you almost brushing against your leg. It was such a cool experience. Since they were wild and I was viewing them from an observation deck, it was like a zoo role reversal. From here, I hiked through a small, quaint bamboo forest. It was so cool because when the wind picked up it would make that unique and ...
Kyoto and Osaka, Japan gajemisonOK. You were drunk last night. Maybe really drunk and you can't remmeber anything but you know that you've woken up in an apartment in Tokyo, with a letter from a nice company saying they'll be pleased to have you work for them in Tokyo. You don't know anyone there. You can't read the road signs. You cry on your way to your first day at work because even though it's only one stop to your office, you used all of your days ...
Tokyo, Japan alasdairnicola... 5 AM) to see the tuna auction. The auctioneers were quite animated and very loud. There were HUGE fish (think at least 13 feet long!) laying around everywhere, and we almost got run over a few times by forklifts. Then we had sushi for breakfast, and I have to say it was the BEST tuna I've ever had! It just melted in the mouth. Saturday was our day "off" and some of us traveled to Kamakura, the ancient capital of Japan. It is famous for many ...
Kamakura, Japan swinnett... final score an hour and a half later. The nice thing though were the supporters. Orange is the colour of the Giants and although they can't match the Dutch supporters, they did their best! We were most surprised when we heard lots of similar tunes, although the words were different... And a final bit of culture - Kabuki theatre. Luckily you can buy a ticket to watch only 1 scene, which ...
Tokyo, Japan markenhyldaArrived in Tokyo! a few hours flight from Seoul... Tokyo is huge!!! It took us almost 2 hours just to get to a subway stop called Ueno and then another 45 minutes to Raponggi to look for the dorm rooms Randy had researched on the net. Randy is very good at researching and finding the best deals for accommodation... Actually, I'm thinking he would be a great candidate for the TV reality show "The Amazing Race" We knew that in Tokyo our financial resources would deplete ...
