I was totally exhausted by the time I reached Tokyo, it’s already 9pm… It has been really tiring and I took absolutely AGES to find my backpacker hostel. Its a bit rush because I had to check in before 10pm… again, the subway route in Tokyo make me headache !! Its freezing at night, all in all a very looooooong day! Here’s my handy map…

This was the first time I got my own room, a very tiny private room… 2m x 2m… haha, I could not hardly believe it. Everything is small in Japan. But I love it here so far…everyone is so polite and friendly, streets are very clean, convenient stores are surprisingly fun and food is decent. People take time out to have lunch together…. everything is so kawaii (cute), vending machines everywhere, its new and exciting !!

A one-day pass is a must when travelling using subway in Tokyo. It’s a lot cheaper and you get unlimited ride. Cabs in Tokyo are expensive.

I went shopping the next day — let me tell you, the shopping here is unreal. It’s unending… neighbourhood by neighbourhood. You could literally spend several days shopping in SHIBUYA alone….. and GINZA, SHINJUKU as well……it’s OVERWHELMING. OMG~~ and the electric city IN AKIHABARA, I spend almost half a day to look at the cameras and mobile phones … It’s very cheap if you buy in duty free shop.

The famous Tokyo Tower.

The Tokyo Tower rose up like a smaller version of Eiffel Tower in red and white, built atop a small hill top.

Nice apartments in city.

Architecture

Pets hotel.

It’s always expensive when talk about foods here. But they are cheap compare to Osaka and Kyoto . I found 180 yen ramen !?!!? Udons at 280 yen… subway fares are cheaper too…

I shop like crazy on my last day in Tokyo, and I got only half a day to do my shopping. But unluckily, shopping centers in Tokyo are only open at 10am and close at 8.30pm……my flight back to Shanghai is at 4.55pm (6 May)…… it takes more than an hour to reach Narita Airport from my hostel…

Sayonara Tokyo!
