    rice field outside Tokyo

    On the drive from Narita airport to Tokyo, I was pleasantly surprised by all the greenery. The trees were in lovely shades of green and had unusual roundish shapes that were almost bonsai-like. Coming from the equatorial region of Malaysia, it was so pleasingly different. You will also encounter quite a lot of parklands in Tokyo itself, especially around the Imperial Palace and Yoyogi park areas. On my drive back from Hakone to Tokyo city, I came across this ricefield and I couldn't resist but to take a picture of it (from the moving coach!).

    The dusty town of Narita. I took a 2 day stop over once on my way to L.A and really enjoyed the less noisy part of Japan. Everything was pretty laid back with small streets (like the picture) and lots of old folks. The center of Narita was slightly bigger, with a Jusco shopping mall, restaurants and tons of Pachinko outlets. Move in deeper into the town and you will come across lovely temples,houses and lots of greenary. ☺

    Fujisawa is the sister city of Florida's Miami Beach. It's about 30 miles south of Tokyo and very entertaining. Long beaches, surfers, suntanners. Also right there, the island-mountain of Enoshima which is famous for it's temple and nice village. Go see my Fujisawa page for more details ! ChuckG's Fujisawa page

    As I walked deep into one of the lanes, I came across this Japanese gentleman beheading some eels...actually a huge bucket of live eels when I looked closely. His technique was pretty simple, pull an eel from the bucket, pin it on the head, slit it in the abdomen and clear it's contents, remove the pin and finally into another bucket. Now, the yucky part is that during this entire 30 second process, the eel is still slithering around in the new bucket.... A sight to be seen, well worth it. ☺

    NIKKO Just a couple of hours from Tokyo from the Tobu-Nikko line in the basement of Asakusa Tobu Department store. Ask for info (maps, train timetables, pamphlets..) at the train or at the Nikko Tobu Station. Come here to run away of the rush of Tokyo. Great sceneries, temples, shrines... peace! In some of the temples you'll have to pay for entrance (there's a Combinated Ticket). Here you will see everywhere (in souvenirs shops too) the famous three monkeys (see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil) carved in wood.

  • Onjuku Beach A Camel ride in Japan? That too on the sand dunes??? What rubbish!!! But to tell you, it is a fact...only allow me to make slight modification that the camels and the sand dunes are artificial!!! The Onjuku beach is 1hr train journey from Tokyo, in Chiba prefecture, area called as Boso peninsula in Pacific Ocean. Get on to Sobo line from Tokyo station. Its JR line As you enter this small town, you will find the entire town is decorated to give it a look of any Arab towns....date trees by the road side, small Arabian style statues, and the camels and the sand dunes created on the beach..... Don't miss out this beach...excellent place for surfing and sun bathing.....

    Only an 1 1/2 hours from central Tokyo is Kamakura, one of Medieval Japan's capitals. The modern town is littered with beautiful temples, shrines, and historic treasures and makes a great escape from the bustle of Tokyo. One of its most famous monuments is the Daibutsu shown here. This elegant bronze Buddha was once house in a temple, but that was washed away by a tidal wave centuries ago.

    The Hakone National Park is a beautiful area with shrines, mountains, forests and a lake at its center. Hakone Shrine, founded in 757, lies at the wooded shores of Lake Ashi. One of its torii (entrance gate) stands in the lake. The area is famous for its many hot springs (onsen); the bath tubs of most ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) are directly connected to hot springs (see my Japan page for more information on onsens and ryokans).

    Nikko makes a great day-trip from Tokyo. Located in the mountains to the north of the city, the Nikko area houses both wonderous temples and a relaxing national park. The temple area hosts the most boisterious--even outrageous--examples of Japanese architecture to be found. The towering ceders encompassing the area make a deep visual contrast with the ornate features of the buildings. The national park nearby has lofty waterfalls, inspiring forests and fields, and lots of deer to play with!

    If you come to Tokyo, I can recommend to go to Okutama area in the suburbs of Tokyo. You can find a wonderful nature world. You will be surprised at here. Because even here, Tokyo JR Train!! From Tokyo station to Okutama , use JR. Chuo line, about 2 hours, 1,210YEN. Pictures are one of the hiking course from Hatonosu station to Shiromaru station next to Okutama station. If you are interested, try it! I hope you enjoy this course."Ohtama Walking Trail" and after enjoying the hike, you can enjoy spa near the Okutama Station!!
