So lets talk about Tokyo, unfortunately buddy Frank is not into night life, so we didn't get to go out at night.
In this particular picture, you can see what typical breakfast looks like, and thats considered upscale. The breakfast there cost us approximately 280yen each.
The room in the pic is where we stayed. In Tokyo, there are many type of hotels, including capsule hotel (http://www.yesicanusechopsticks.com/capsule/). So what is Capsule, some say its a one in a life time thing and its a must try, I don't agree to this, the hotel we were in, the Sun Targus, cost us the same it would if we stayed at a capsule. A capsule is pretty much a personal sized hotel room, you get as much space as you will need for tiny room, its measurement is around 3x3x8, its like one of those stiff (corpse) cabinet thing in a hospital (Morgue??). Average price is around 4000 yen a night, shared bath and washroom
We paid 4000 yen a night per person, we have our own shower and washroom, shared washer and dryer. This type of cheap hotels are called Business Hotel, its usually for people who is on a business trip for short term stay.
So what are some of the attractions in Tokyo? MANY. I am no pros in this, but I guess the standard places are as follow:
- Ginza
- Harajuku (Meji Shrine)
- Ueno area
- Asakusa
- Shinjuku - Also the red light district - Kabuki Cho
- Shibuya - World's busiest intersection
- Odaiba - Reclaimed land
- Akihabara - Discounted electronics area
You can find all kinds of info on Japan-Gudie.com
We were also in Yokohama for 2 days, its a very very interesting place and lots of things to see, unfortunately, we didn't stay long enough for me to make any comments toward yokohama, thought we've seen a lot of nice car there :)
Anwyays, thats it for our little adventure in Japan, drop me a line if you want to know more.
I will start posting other pics and other articles tomorrow :)
