We had a very early pick up at 4.15am and arrived at Brisbane Airport at about 5am. Our flight departed about 9.05am after waiting for some latecomers obviously not us. Had a pleasant flight arriving at about 5pm in Tokyo although we had seats near the exits which meant plenty of leg room, the seats were a pretty snug fit. After fighting our way through immigration and customs which also meant getting our photo taken and finger printed, we headed for JR Rail and exchanged our Rail voucher for...
Tokyo, Kanto, Japan christine.stoneCaught the 6.44am train back to Shinagawa station, we caught the early train because the later trains for non smoking were booked out and we weren't keen on being in a smoking carriage for a couple of hours. Being early back to the Hotel we had to leave our luggage because check in wasn't until 2pm, so we caught the train to Akihabara (Electric city) and walked around the shops. Went back to the Hotel in afternoon and checked into our room.

... rate) to the fish market. It was vast and finishing up by the time we got there at about 11.00, but there was still an amazing array of extraordinary sea creatures on display!. Unfortunately the kids were not really impressed by the smell, but put up with it pretty well and we then waited in line to go to one of the nearby sushi restaurants so that Michael could at long last have some raw fish!

Tokyo, Kanto, Japan chalmersfamily... can't see any of the current palace buildings. There's the old Edo castle moat and some remnants of walls and of the main keep. Then it was on to Ueno Park and the Tokyo National Museum. The park is really pretty - and well used by residents. On a nice day like this, there were lots of people out, street musicians, vendors, etc. There are an amazing number of museums in Ueno Park, along with several temples and shrines. Tokyo National Museum ...
Tokyo, Japan bassalleckj... no idea which way was up but we slowly figured it all out. We found out that you can't visit the palace unless you give 5 days notice which wasn't going to happen. So we visited the gardens instead. It was all really pretty. We took lots of pictures. It has a moat surrounding the palace and the gardens and they still have the locations the samurias had previouly used as checkpoints. After a long walk around the gardens we decided to head back tot he hostel because I was ...
Tokyo, Japan romero... see the Teddy Boys dancing their rock n roll. Low and behold we came across some filming, for what I have no idea! However, Brittany Murphy was there. Now I was confused not being the celeb type, but she's from Clueless. We'll at least that's where I know her from. Her co-star being a rather attractive young Japanese gentleman. Then there were a lot of them around that day. That's where we found ...
Tokyo, Japan japanesewhisper... worker. We got up with no alarm, went to the park while others rushed to work. We walked around the lake and then headed back to get some breakfast. Once back in the room we read for awhile before taking a midmorning nap! In the afternoon we took a walk and arrived at a tourist shopping area with fans, pictures, sake sets, and a Buddha mask (...oh that Birthday Celebration for John Nilson in Japan!). We then checked out the Senso-ji Temple that ...
Tokyo, Japan scott_and_amyHere's a day trip you won't find in the glossy tourist brochures. I went out looking for the depraved underbelly of Japanese society and wasn't disappointed. I had always heard that sexual values and morals were different over there, even found this web page that gave an in depth explanation of the underpinnings of Japanese Pornography. At the end of the day, I don't know if I got any closer to the truth ...
