      Der erste Vormittag in Tokio

      16 de abril, Japón ⋅ 🌬 22 °C

      Der Tag, der zieht sich. Aber so ein beheizter Toilettensitz ist schon was feines man will es nicht mehr missen. Was macht man völlig übermüdet wenn das. Zimmer erst um 15 Uhr bereit steht? Man geht dahin, wo möglichst viele Menschen sind - zur alle Gehen Kreuzung inklusive Mariokartfahrern. Es ist schon wahnsinnig viel Pling Pling hier. Und mit was für einer Geschwindigkeit die Tokioter Metro Karten kaufen, gehen vor allem gehen, ein- und auschecken war für uns hannoveraner Landeier für den ersten Transfer zum Hotel echt viel abverlangt. Aber letztendlich ist das Metrosystem gut verständlich und wir sind sofort ( natürlich dank Google maps) ohne Umwege angekommen. Die erste Mahlzeit eingenommen, ach ein Schrein ist uns auch über den Weg gelaufen und nun warten wir auf ein Bett für ein Nickerchen 😴.Leer más

      Tag 2 mit Unstimmigkeiten

      17 de abril, Japón ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Ausgeschlafen! Wichtig!!
      Dann zur Aussicht, die nix kostet und zu einer weiteren, die wir nur von unten betrachten. Zwischendurch etwas Streit: Alex laut Eric zu unentspannt Eric laut Alex zu technisch unbegabt. Wir essen Ramen und stellen fest, dass man überall essen kann, Bars oder Cafes eher eine Seltenheit sind. Deswegen landen wir tatsächlich im Irish Pub, wo mein Handy lädt. Den Abend lassen wir in unserem Viertel ausklingen
      Ps abgesehen von den rush hours morgens und abends ist die Stadt sehr ruhig und entspannt….. ooooh ja was für ein schöner Abend tolle Bar gute Gespräche dann noch private Karoke mit Ken. Er kein englisch wir kein japanisch dennoch alles perfekt allerdings nicht geschenkt aber das war es so was von wert .

      Trubel, Tradition, Chanel, second hand

      18 de abril, Japón ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Obwohl wir so schön gesungen haben - der ein oder andere Drink dazu war möglicherweise zu viel. Dann muss man eben mit Kopfschmerzen los. Nach Asakusa, die Idee hatten noch ein paar andere Leute. Fressbüdchen und Souvenirs ohne Ende. Essen darf man aber nicht davor oder gehend. Wir essen eine Art Pfannkuchen mit roten Bohnen und Butter, dann ich einen Kobeburger, Eric (ich schäme mich) isst bei MC Donalds (unfassbar). Schrein Berichtigung und in ein Kaufhaus, wo es wirklich alles gibt. Totale Überforderung. Schnell noch nach Omoto Sando, quasi die Champs Elysee von Tokio umme Ecke wieder ruhig dort gibt es coole Secondhandläden. Ausruhen gleich kommt der japanische Kollege, der uns ausführt.Leer más

      Abend

      16 de abril, Japón ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      Liebes Tagebuch, das war ein Abenteuer, sage ich Dir. Neben großer Müdigkeit, ergaben sich auch tolle Bilder und Erfahrungen. Mariocart mitten in der Stadt und unglaublich viele Menschen auf engem Raum in der U-Bahn.
      Von den Toiletten, die klassische Musik spielen, wenn man sie betritt, will ich gar nicht erst beginnen zu erzählen. Nur soviel sei gesagt: Mieze würde hier kein Malheur passieren.

      Day 2

      29 de abril, Japón ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Another long day as out for 12 hours with a lot of walking (23k steps!). Left the hotel at around 10am as slept through an alarm because of jet lag. Had some nice Japanese pattiseries for breakfast although mine had crème cheese and custard mixed which was a bit weird. We then headed into Tokyo centre which is around a 30 min metro ride from our local station! We had booked the open top city bus tour and spent an hour and a half touring Tokyo. Luckily was a nice day so nice to sit out in shorts on the bus and learn some history. After we walked 30 mins or so to the famous Tsujiki fish market to see some of the stalls! As we were on our way we spotted a big queue of locals going into a ramen restaurant (usually a sign for good food) so we stopped for lunch there and had a nice bowl of hearty ramen pictured below! They make it all in front of you as you sit around the kitchen on stools at a bar with all Japanese sitting in silence slurping away! Luckily they give you big apron as as it’s good manners to slurp in Japan the broth from the ramen goes everywhere! We both had a nice Japanese beer and are working through them. After we went to the market and looked over all the crazy things they were serving we walked just over 2 hours to Tokyo tower pictured below. On route Sinéad stopped by Uniqlo (one just opened in Edinburgh too) and bought some clothes. We had pre booked a tour up the tower but it was very busy still! Lift takes you up at 600 metres a minute. Amazing views from the top though which makes you realise just how big the city is (32 million people making it the biggest city on earth) those were the same views all 360 degrees round! After the tower we went back to a restaurant we had passed and had some fried pork cutlets with rice miso soup and pickles, was tasty and cheap! With 2 glasses of wine each it and food it came to £20. After we had to get 2 trains home which took about an hour and Sinead was nodding off every few mins because of our walk and jet lag combo! Now back in the hotel for an early ish night as long day again tomorrow!Leer más

      Day 3

      1 de mayo, Japón ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Long day again as just back after being out for 13 hours! Left at 9.30ish and had a nice breakfast at a bakery next door with egg, bacon bread and some miso soup! We then set off to see an amazing digital art show called ‘borderless’ which we had booked. It was a massive centre filled with rooms that were covered in mirrors and lights! Each room had art that moved and changed and had different scents, very cool experience.

      After we had toured each room and spent a good hour or so in there we had a browse around the local mall which was very posh and clean. The food there was amazing and had been arranged orderly and perfect. The fruit was some of the biggest juiciest non blemished fruit I’ve seen. I had the strawberries and they were amazing! Sinead got an Apple the size of a small football! Imagine Harvey Nichols on steroids with all the Japanese responsible for a section each and working like a well oiled machine. We can’t get over how well dressed everyone is here. It’s like being in a fashion shoot with all the designer clothes.

      We then walked around an hour or so to the imperial palace and the weather got nice and sunny. We walked the grounds with their weird shaped trees and I took lots of pics of the amazing nature mixed with the temple buildings and office skyscrapers. From my very brief stint in my failed sustainable urban management course I could really tell just how well the Japanese landscape architect. Everything has some sort of immaculately groomed greenery on it!

      After the palace we walked another hour to the stadium of Tokyo giants baseball game where we saw a great but very long derby game with the Tokyo giants against the Swallows! We were right up in the rafters with a great view so happy to see that! Both got hotdogs with mustard and ketchup and got a beer from the poor girls that run up and down the stairs with a keg of beer strapped to their backs! Sinead cheered on the other team and hers sadly won but it was a close game with a few home runs and lasted over 3.5 hours….

      After the game we left with 30,000 people although the Japanese were great and every single person left at the same time orderly all taking with them all of their rubbish to the bins inside before they left in a line down the stairs! We got the metro back to our zone Shinjuku and had what I think was our best meal yet. We shared some dumplings and gyoza with some kimchi, chicken and beef stir fry! I had something called a ginger highball to drink which was really refreshing. Another 20k+ steps done and now 1am with an early start Tommorow!

      A Hidden Oasis: Meiji Shrine

      19 de septiembre de 2023, Japón ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Realising we lost an hour operating on Perth time, we had to hoof the 8 km to get to Meiji Shrine before it closed. Thank goodness we were all caffeinated because it was a power walk for the ages, albeit a beautiful one as part of the journey was through Yoyogi Park, Tokyo's equivalent of Kings Park.

      Within minutes, we were transported from the visual assault that was Shibuya to an oasis akin to rural Japan. It was totally surreal to go from walking shoulder to shoulder with thousands of others to gravel crunching underfoot in leafy tree-lined paths. We really wanted to slow down and take it all in, but there was no time. Stairs were climbed two at a time, photos were taken on the hop and vending machines were pillaged at top speed.

      With a literal minute to spare, we and this cute little shuffling old dude (going top speed at 0.5km an hour) slipped past the guard as he was putting up the closing gates at the temple's entrance. Inside, the mood was serene as we were transported back to a different era. We browsed past the Wishes Board full of traveller's prayers and paid our respects at the shrine. Photos of the shrine are forbidden and they take this very seriously. A guy holding a sign had to politely insert it in front of tourists' camera lenses despite the fact it was impossible to miss. It made us cross to see people deliberately disrespecting Japanese culture; I mean, it wasn't a big ask.

      Wishing we could stay just a few more minutes, we were ushered out to enjoy the 3km walk to the park exit. Wandering out, dreaming of burgers, Noah's feet definitely did not hurt. I mean, he may have mentioned it a few times, but at 19,000 + steps, most of them bloody stairs, I reckon he has good cause to want a little lie-down. Thankfully, the subway station greeted us as we emerged from the park's serenity, and after jumping a few subway trains, we emerged back in our new home suburb for Freshness Burgers (Japan's leading burger chain).

      Noah's rating of his sip of Dad's Asahi was "aghhhhhhhhh". I think we all made similar noises as we crawled into bed that night.

      Excursion to Shibuya after school

      24 de mayo de 2022, Japón ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      🇨🇵
      Les cours ont commencé !
      Je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion d'en parler ici, mais pour venir au Japon pendant la pandémie, j'ai rencontré beaucoup, beaucoup de difficultés 😔

      C'est grâce au "sponsoring" de l'école de japonais GenkiJACS située à Tokyo que j'ai pu finalement obtenir un visa vacances travail.

      En pratique, je vais avoir 2 semaines de cours (c'est court ! 😱), dans une classe avec peu d'élèves et plutôt porté sur l'expression orale. Et ça tombe bien, car c'est justement l'expression orale qui me permettra de profiter au mieux de mes voyages !

      Après 6h de cours, je peux en tout cas dire que je ne m'ennuie pas: j'ai rejoint la classe en cours de route et le rythme est assez soutenu donc je tiens bon 😅

      Pour la deuxième journée, j'avais l'après midi de libre, et j'ai pu partir en balade avec un de mes camarades de classe fraîchement rencontré.

      Comme la météo était très agréable, nous sommes allés à pied à Shibuya, un arrondissement connu pour son immense carrefour routier, ainsi que son côté très jeune et urbain. C'est un arrondissement que je n'ai pas encore bien visité, mais que j'apprécie car les gens ici me semblent plus facilement abordables, le cadre est chaleureux, et les activités ne manquent pas.

      Premier arrêt pour visiter le Meiji-jingu, un sanctuaire situé dans un espace de végétation, et situé à proximité du parc Yoyogi.

      L'espace qui entoure le sanctuaire est vraiment très sympa à parcourir, et en cette période de COVID où l'on porte le masque presque tout le temps au Japon, ça fait vraiment du bien de pouvoir le retirer (lorsqu'il n'y a personne autour) et respirer dans un espace vert comme celui-ci, même pour quelques minutes.

      Nous sommes tombés sur un jardin (le Gyoen) situé dans l'enceinte du sanctuaire, et il valait vraiment le détour : il n'y avait pas beaucoup d'azalées (c'est la période), mais il y avaient quelques Bonsaïs et aussi de très beaux paysages.

      Pour clore la balade, petite pause café dans un lieu que j'avais déniché, tout près de la gare de Shibuya. La déco du café est assez bluffante, que ce soit en intérieur avec des lampes qui pendent un peu partout où en terrasse avec des petits balcons fleuris.
      Plus surprenant encore, les prix étaient très raisonnables, alors que le visuel et la qualité de tout ce que nous avons commandé (desserts et boissons) était très élevée.

      ... Et c'est tout pour aujourd'hui, à bientôt 😉

      🇬🇧
      Classes have started !
      I didn't have the opportunity to talk about it here, but in order to come to Japan during the pandemic, I experienced many, many difficulties 😔

      It's thanks to the "sponsorship" of the GenkiJACS school, located in Tokyo that I finally obtained a Working Holiday visa.

      In practice, I will attend to classes for 2 weeks (yes, it's short ! 😱), in a class with few students, quite focused on speaking. And it's perfect, because it's mainly my speaking skills that I need to improve to enjoy my trips!

      After 6 hours of study, I can tell you that I'm not bored at all: I joined the class along the way and the pace is quite intense so I'm giving all I can 😅

      For the 2nd day, I was free during the afternoon, so I took the opportunity to go on a walk with one of my freshly met classmate.

      As the weather was quite nice, we walked to Shibuya, a district known for its big crossroad, and its young and urban feel. It's a district that I had not often visited, but one that I enjoy because people here seems easier to talk to, it's a welcoming area and there are plenty activities to do.

      First stop at Meiji-jingu, a shrine located in a green area very close to the Yoyogi park.

      The area surrounding the shrine is really enjoyable place for a walk, and especially in this pandemic period where in Japan we almost wear the mask all the time, it feels really nice to take it off (when no one is arround) and breath some fesh air here, just for a few minutes.

      We came across a garden (the Gyoen) within the shrine area and it was really worth it: while we didn't see that much of azaleas (it's the blooming period), there were Bonsai and also beautiful landscapes.

      To end the walk, coffee break in a cafe I found near the Shibuya station. The decoration is quite stunning, either inside with light bulbs hanging all arround, or outside with small balconies filled with flowers.

      Surprisingly, while prices were very reasonable, the visual aspect, as well as the quality of everything we ordered (deserts, drinks) were very high.

      ... And this is it for today, until next time 😉

      4. Tag in Tokyo

      4 de mayo, Japón ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      Heute haben wir lernen durch Schmerzen auf eine neue Spitze getrieben und sind 22km durch Tokyo marschiert.
      Einmal quer durch den kaiserlichen Palastgarten, dann durch den Hibiya Park, die Takeshita Straße, zum Meiji Schrein und dann Verschnaufpause im Yoyogi Park.

      Kann ich alles uneingeschränkt empfehlen, vor allem der Palastgarten ist ein Muss für Hobbybotaniker, da dort hunderte Arten hin verpflanzt wurden. Auch die speziell gezüchteten Karpfen sind einen Blick wert.

      Der Meiji Schrein weiß allein schon mit dem größten Torii Japans aus taiwanesischer Zypresse zu beeindrucken und es gibt dort immer mal wieder Aufführungen in traditioneller Kleidung.
      Es gibt am Meiji Schrein auch zwei hundertjährige Kampferbäume welche mit einem Band verknüpft sind um eine glückliche Heirat und ein harmonisches Leben zu symbolisieren.

      Zuletzt waren wir dann, auf Wunsch einer einzelnen Person, in Shibuya um uns eine vielbegangene Kreuzung und eine Hundestatue anzuschauen.

      Such busy
      Wow

      Abends sind wir dann einmal durch die Akihabara flaniert um etwas essbares zufinden und haben die guten Ramenbedingungen genutzt.
