some facts: This station is the first rail station in Japan that build in 1914 when the first rail was set in between with Shimbashi. Leave a Comment |
You must taste some local drink in Tokyo!
Most of the drink is served by vending machine. You can notice all round the area in Tokyo. There are actually more than 2000 type of drink offer in this country from soft drink to juice and beers. The packing is special that I ever since in my life! You can find more than 10 different types of Coke in can and bottle which I have it all for my collection. Some may have some funny advertisement. You can notice the price is cheaper compare you get in those convenient shop as they charge for government tax...
I like the juice and tea! A Coke in 500ml and 300ml is actually selling for same price if you notice...may be is the promotional period. Leave a Comment |

West of the Shinjuku Station is Shinjuku's skyscraper district, a business district where many of Tokyo's tallest buildings are located, including the Metropolitan Government Office whose observation decks are open to the public for free. It is right behind my hotel.
Night sightseeing is wonderfull. Leave a Comment |
AMEYOKO is a shopping arcade that had been a black market in the post war decade that the atmospher of those days still remains.
I used to shop around here when I was in a high school when Yen was strong to purchase goods from US or some other foreign countries in a good deal. The shops never had been an ofiicial resellers.
The shops there these days seem that they have contracts with official dealers so I'm not too interested in shopping here today.

A redeveloped neighborhood in the district of Roppongi, consisting of residential, recreational and office space, an art museum, cinema complex, hotel and various shops, restaurants and cafes.
In the center of Roppongi Hills stands the Mori Tower, a 54-storey skyscraper named after the company and company president that built it. One of the most modern technology building found in Tokyo. Leave a Comment |
Japanese snacks inevitably look too good to be eaten. They come in beautifully decorated boxes or in lovely colourful wrappers, all of which are tasteful and delicate. The snacks can be sweet (such as Omochi) or savoury (eg. rice crackers or seaweed crackers). They are rather expensive, but do look very beautiful and can be given away as gifts to your friends back home.
Apart from these snacks, I also enjoyed the grilled cuttlefish on sticks-OYSHI-des neh!!
One of my fondest memories was visiting the basements of large supermarkets in Tokyo and sampling the food before buying some of them. Leave a Comment |
Tokyo Imperial Palace, stands on the former site of Edo Castle. The outer moats can be reached in a five minute walk from Tokyo Station.
The palace buildings and inner gardens are not open to the public. Only on January 2 (New Year's Greeting) and December 23 (Emperor's Birthday)
We can view the Nijubashi, two bridges that form an entrance to the inner palace grounds. The stone bridge in front is called Meganebashi (Eyeglass Bridge) for its looks. The bridge in the back was formerly a wooden bridge with two levels, from which the name Nijubashi (Double Bridge) is derived. Leave a Comment |
