Go to Shibuya and be part of the hundreds of people to cross the busiest street crossing. Eat sushi and drink sake. Be part of the tea ceremony, take a walk at night and admire the city lights in Shinjuku and if you like adventure, climb mount Fuji.

What I liked the most of this beautiful city was the harmony Japanese live, their education, the way they take care of the environment and their technology. Personally, the best moment of my whole trip was when I saw my friends again after 4 years. Travelling all the way from Mexico City to Tokyo just to be with them for a few hours was worthwhile!! I couldn't spend more time with them because I had to fly to China, but I'm sure I'll go back to Tokyo one day.

On my first visit I didnt have chance to visit Disneyland. So for 2nd visit, I took my kids to Disneyland and they love it!. So many things to do there. A lot of Disney characters, show, Disney Sea, Disney wolds and etc. You can get half price if you're a student. Sorry I dont remember how much I pay per entry.

Getting Around: Use a backpack not a wheelie bag

These are the things that we have to consider in this question:
1. wheelie bags vs. back pack in Japan - remember, it's Japan- not other places.
2. staircases
3. crowded trains
4. airport and around the country of Japan

Japan has many staircases. If you look at the tunnel routes of the shinkansen, it is crazy. You get lost inside the tunnel just figuring out where to exit! You don't read and write in Japanese. That's even adding to your challenge of carrying a wheelie! Because of those staircases, you will end up carrying your wheelie because you can't wheel anyway because of those staircases!

Having a backpack is easier! The train stations are always crowded in Tokyo! The people move fast and if you have a wheelie, you will be dragging it through the crowd!!!

Check out the pictures I took how the train station look like in Tokyo. It has so many branches under the tunnel. To get out from the tunnel, you have to go through stairs! Just imagine wheeling through the stairs! By the time you have snaked in through the crowd to get out, you will be catching your breath once you see the light coming from that shinkansen/train!

I just love the food and shopping in Tokyo!
