For my second blog, I have reached the land of the Rising Sun...
Japan
Tokyo
Population: 37,800,000
Distance from Vancouver: 7780 kms
Tokyo being the first city we are visiting, was kind of a shock on the density you would feel. Restaurants / shopping malls / stores/ hotels are layered side by side and on top of one another through many levels.
Don't let the image above frighten you, the map is easy to navigate once you know your destination. Simply...
1. Pick the Train stop
2. Find the Line Symbol its on
3. Find the Station Number
Travel is simple as knowing those details and getting onto the train that heads to that direction.
As we were leaving Narita Airport, our stop was located on "Z14" - Oshiage (Skytree) We made our way there in a breeze. Our Airbnb was located in a 5 minute walk away from the Z14 station.
We ended up at "35 Step Bistro" We went down approx 5 flights of stairs. It was a place where we had to remove our shoes to go in for our dining experience. It was an excellent time with great service!
The next morning, I decided to go for a jog at 6am. It was a beautiful way to see Tokyo in its natural quiet habitat! 5km easy ;)
We had breakfast at this 24 hr restaurant called "Sukiya"
We then continue exploring around the Skytree Tower area
We ended up at a coffee shop with a very mysterious coffee shop where the baristas acted more as scientists,
The coffee was excellent!!!
TO be continued :D
