PLUTO WAS HAPPY AND HAPPY WAS IN GOOD CHEERS !!!!There are seven themed areas, each complementing each other yet unique in their style. Made up of the World Bazaar, the four classic Disney lands: Adventureland, Westernland, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, and two mini lands, Critter Country and Mickey's Toontown, the park is noted for its huge open spaces to accommodate the massive crowds the park receives on even moderate attendance days - Tokyo Disneyland was, up until three years ago, the single most visited theme park in the world, and its sister Tokyo DisneySea was the second.

Japanese love to seafood and it is a strong part of the Japanese culture. Therefore, seafood is a must try when you are in Japan, especially the sushi and sashimi (raw seafood). Popular seafood would be the kampachi (amber jack), salmon, tuna, mackerel, scallops, octopus, swordfish, salmon roe etc etc. The best place to see it all is at the famous Tsujiki Fish Market in Tokyo (next to Tsujiki sub-way station).

Tokyo is famous for its ultra modern and various exotic kinds of fashion worn mostly by teenagers who come here to socialise, shop and of course to show off their fashion sense. You will be treated with a wide array of fashion at Harajuku, Shinjuku and Ginza, and it is not to be missed when you are in Tokyo especially during the weekends.

Although Tokyo is a very modern city in one of the most modern city in the world, the traditional customs is still very much alive today and you can sometimes witness people dressing in traditional costumes, old architecture next to modern skyscraper, traditional wedding etc. This is because the Japanese still treat their traditionals very serious and with respect.

1. When a train arrives, wait until people get off the train, then get in and find your seat. When you are taking a subway or local train, you can sit down in any open seat.

2. During rush hours on weekdays, it's best to avoid taking the subway or local trains. It's extremely crowded.

When the cherry blossoms are out the Japanese love to have Ohanami parties. This is where groups get together to have a picnic under the cherry blossoms. This can often become another reason for the locals to enjoy some beer and/or sake and let their hair down.
