Hi everyone it’s Natalie drewy as mentioned in my previous Vlog I will be going on a 5-day fornite trip to the Land of the Rising Sun which is Tokyo Japan it’s not really a long enough stay to cover everything but we packed a lot into our trip so I will be making free

Videos about my Tokyo trip otherwise it will be too packed and condensed so this is part One It was an early start at 5:00 a.m. and off we went to the airport to get our luggage checked in a combination of Taxi and the airport express from Central was the most convenient option to get There before going to Japan I would recommend using the QR code on the visit Japan website which can be used for immigration procedures and saves you a whole lot of form filling when you arrive at Narita Airport by registering the necessary information for immigration procedures beforehand and

Presenting the QR code at the time of immigration procedures it will allow you to go through immigration smoothly and you will need to present your QR code when passing through immigration using your phone it really does speed up the whole process yen currency one Japanese yen is equivalent to

052 Hong Kong doll which is also equivalent to 0.66 once we arrived we got the tickets for the Skyliner which took us to weno where our hotel was located when choosing hotels in Tokyo it is always a good idea to choose ones near key Transportation hubs like wayo because

You will be using a lot of public transportation during your stay and being located near a main Transportation Hub will make getting around much faster and more efficient so why is Tokyo a popular tourist destination Tokyo is popular with tourists because of the Japanese Cuisine its high energy Metropolitan

Vibe with loads of neon lit streets affordability efficient public transport Kawaii anime culture its sense of safety the magic of the Sakura season enriching Hub culture and efficient convenience stores the contrast of modern and historical architecture the gaming culture it’s vending machine Paradise high-tech Innovations theme parks and traditional cultural Heritage so my first time in my whole entire like 20 years 19 years I’ve seen Sakura oh my Gosh This is basically food treated the smell is making me so Hungry Here our hotel and there’s a Yaki Miku as well nice as the Japanese was say a this looks me wow hello and this is day one of Japan Tokyo this is the view you can see the street amoko is a busy Market Street situated under the yamot line

Between and weno station the name amoko is short for am yo candy store alley because candies were traditionally sold there during World War II am also stands for America because a lot of American products used to be available in the old postwar black market days when Japan was

Getting back on its feet economically products nowadays include clothing bags Cosmetics fresh seafood dry food and spices opening hours depend on individual stores but they typically open around 10 a.m. and close around 8:00 p.m. many stores close on selected Wednesdays one this is one of the things I

Saw I know I got some Candies This game’s objective is to win as many balls as possible which can be exchanged for prizes I made a quick tour inside just to let you have an idea of the atmosphere inside it’s a serious business here everyone is completely absorbed in the game for many here in

Japan is a total Obsession my dad found this typical Japanese Pub and with chicken on a stick and other yummy Japanese Delectables the food was very good quality and for free people including drinks it costs about 9,000 Yen which is around Hong Kong doll $465 us60 mind you we ordered quite a few

Dishes our popular dining places for socializing drinking and eating which offer a wide variety of food and beverage in a relaxed and formal atmosphere are often used to celebrate birthdays work promotions and other special occasions as well as afterw work drinks and Casual get Togethers yeah you can take it no don’t drink alcohol Children the 711s in Japan are unique because they sell a variety of different foods from hot to cold from liquids to solids the high-tech drink machines are an added bonus they don’t just make coffee but also things like smoothies you can obtain your carton of fruit or

Veg from the freezer pay for it and then go to the smoothie machine to have it turn into a nutrious Smoothie Eating ice cream when it’s 2 degrees in Tokyo Japan I feel like Japan has a different kind of aesthetic compared to Hong Kong they’re more Neon Lights makes it prettier and more lively as you just like feel kind of warm in your heart even though it’s very cold

It’s 2° now there are many branches of Tio station these are places where you can try your luck getting a fluffy toy out of a transparent container using a Mac handicap grab which activates once you have to put 100 or 200 yen into the slot there are loads of these machines

But I think they are just money eaters I tried having a go at one but failed miserably it’s always a close call but the pre-programming of the grab makes me think that rather like in a casino The House Always Wins in the End Come on come on come on come on hold hold hold yeah they do that they always do we have a very busy schedule today so we decided to get breakfast from 711 near us the food is surprisingly good as you can buy a variety of Japanese only Geary rice balls warm croquettes and

Even Chinese meat buns much to our surprise I think at night time it would be more bustling than the morning morning is just for I guess locals night time it’s like locals and tourists how do the train systems work in Tokyo the Japanese Railway system is world famous for being well organized

And efficient but the very complex network of train lines in metropolen areas like Tokyo may be daunting at First Sight the map is very confusing fret not we will only be using using the yamanote line which takes us to places near and around Tokyo Station pasmo and

SOA cards are commonly used in Japan they work like octopus cards in Hong Kong allowing you to top them up and use them at train stations to purchase tickets and convenience stores to buy everyday items soy cards were sold out at the time we went so instead we use

Posmo cards there are no differences between posmo and soy car they are identical both soy car and posmo have special IC cards for short-term visitors to Japan pass mode cards automatically expire after 28 days and you cannot return them for a refund so make sure

You use up all the money on them before you leave getting around the city is really easy the crowds can be a bit overwhelming though so when you take public transport especially the train try to avoid rush hour which is about 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

That way you might get a seat for your your journey traveling at rush hour is quite uncomfortable as passengers really are packed into the carriages like sardines my main observation is that passengers are super quiet many people watch their phones on the train but no one talks either on their phones or to

One another seni also known as Canon Temple is a Buddhist Temple located in and is one of the most colorful and popular temples in Tokyo according to Legend two brothers fished out the statue of the Canon goddess of Mercy out of the river even though they put the statue back in

The river the statue kept reappearing so s SOI was built near the goddess Canon When approaching the temple visitors first enter through the Thunder gate protected by the gods of wind and the Thunder the outer gate of senoji Temple which is the Syle of and Tokyo I’m

Dressed in a kimono why do people people wear kimonos here wearing kimonos while exploring the soru temple gives a visitor a completely different vibe as you can immerse yourself in the traditional culture and imagine that you are a part of it Japan is a country where people love to celebrate

Traditions and local culture senoi Temple is popular with both locals and tourists Al like as a place where you can feel the atmosphere of the Ido period as you enter the grounds you’ll find unusual English fortunes if you pick out a fortune slip with a d character on it that means good luck

Good Fortune so keep it and bring it home if you pick out that means bad luck then you tie it up on a rack situated nearby and pray for the bad luck to go Away While we were there we bought some snacks from a nearby stall including a really tasty crap meat-based fish cake we also bought okino mayaki Japanese cabbage pancake which which was very filling my great achievement today was managing to eat it all without getting any of the sauce on my

Kimono travel tip rubbish bins are very hard to find in Japan so normally you have to carry your rubbish around with you or wait till you either come to Food Stores which normally have a bin nearby or public toilets so make sure you bring a plastic bag with you to put your

Rubbish in when you are Outside Yeah Museum is a museum dedicated to the artist his famous Works include The Great Wave of K gawa and red Fuji which are a couple of prints from The Collection 36 FS of Mount Fuji the museum building is fascinating as it is ultramodern in the form of a stainless steel box which contrasts completely

With the very conservative and traditional culture that it contains inside the Mount Fuji theme is ubiquitous even the Pavements nearby sport mosaics of Mount Fuji the Japanese sword museum is dedicated to displaying Japanese swords surviving centuries it is run by the society for the preservation of Japanese art swords this Museum gives you a fascinating insight into the beauty of Japanese swords it is really amazing seeing Blades of Steel which date back to as

Long as the 13th century looking as if they were made yesterday such as the quality of the Ste from which they are made it makes one wonder how much action they saw and what battles they may have been used in for those who may not be aware sumo wrestling is Japan’s national

Sport and the best wrestlers are major celebrities held in very high esteem in Japan Society this is the arena where you can watch sumo wrestling nice train station you know and there’s and there’s EO this is the dream right now I am in akih Habra where the world of anime exists streets of

Them and earlier we saw some genin impact posters it made my day akih Haba is a district of at Central Tokyo which is famous for its many electronic shops and has also gained recognition as the center of Japan’s aaku Die Hard fan culture most of the shops there are

Devoted to anime manga games Electronics figurines Etc we went on a Sunday when sha Dory the main street through the district is closed to car traffic from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. from October through March actually blocked off the whole street it gives a

Wonderful sense of Freedom when you can roam the whole area including the road in addition to the anime side of the world there are also cat cafes and made cafes There this is a very interesting looking building that is the Cat Cafe that’s a made Cafe that’s a Yakiniku and those are other Japanese restaurants all in one Building I’m a little bit hungry now after walking the whole of the haki anime street so I got some donuts from Mr donut this is the double chocolate it’s actually not too sweet us you would think chocolate and chocolate is really sweet but this is actually not

Too sweet very soft soft and very fresh okay and there’s coconut and this is the chocolate coconut to reward us for working so hard my dad splashed out and treated us to a traditional Japanese restaurant serving a variety of Japanese dishes including meno tid beef steak Dacon salad and really excellent egg

Drop udon noodles a well-deserved dinner our first two days have been really interesting on the whole I’m really impressed by the city its amenities and the cleanliness I have a lot to tell you in my next Tokyo Vlog day two over peace out see you in my next Video
