Hotel Excellent Ebisu
Travel Blogs from Shibuya
Première journée à Tokyo
... de menu électronique, mais le repas est servi comme un resto normal, c'est bizarre de ne pas avoir de serveuse qui prend ta commande.
J'ai passé le reste de l'après-midi dans Shibuya, soit visiter le quartier, être dans le Parc De Yoyogi et le sanctuaire Meiji Jingu pas très loin du parc.
Pour finir la journée, un bon repas dans un petit resto du Red Light près de l'hôtel et petite marche avant d'aller se coucher. ...
Let's start at the very beginning
... American, Asian, and Latino. The Latino won. We also met a Japanese guy who LOVED the beach boys, so we naturally became his best friends when we could sing along with him. The whole night and morning was pretty fantastic and ended with us going to McDonald's for breakfast. We eventually made it back to our hostel around 7am where we all passed out. It is now Sunday afternoon and while we don't have too busy of an evening planned I have no doubt that it will be ...
Generally Lost in Tokyo

Metropolis

As we were already in Ginza, after lunch ...
Shibuya and the Capsule Inn
... basically slightly longer and wider then a normal single bed and about a 1-1.5m tall (I think) - it comes with a tv and stuff though so it's actually pretty good - just seems odd to retire to your 'burrow' for the night lol. The capsule hotel - both due to it being a cultural norm and just simply to save space has a sento style bath and showers (so not good if your shy I guess lol - luckily i'm not :) )
Your luggage won't fit in the capsule though ...
