      Kanda-Tokyo Sta-Ueno-Asakusa

      13. mai, Japan ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

      Our first full day forecast predicted 100% rain and heavy downpours. It was 100% right. We came prepared for wet weather, so our spirits weren't dampened. We canceled a bike tour and decided to familiarize ourselves with the vast metro system to ensure we could find our way to activities scheduled for the coming days.

      We ate internationally. Enjoyed a Japanese buffet breakfast, an Indian lunch, and Turkish dinner. After lots of walking and standing and puzzling over train connections and getting turned around, we needed respite. There is hardly any seating available in public spaces, so we were "forced" to get a table at a restaurant and order a chocolate cake and creamy flan. Just what we needed!

      Everyone is so polite and many signs are in English, making it fairly easy to find our way around. Our umbrellas leaked, and my hair went crazy, but per Gary's constant advice, I finally embraced the frizz. ( No choice, of course).

      It was a productive and exhausting day. Up at 4:30am, we were ready to hit the sack by 9:00pm. I love puzzles, and the metro system is a big one! By the end of the day, our brains were spent, and we were mixing up everything we learned haha!!! But it was a great first day.

      BTW, in the last photo, that bright yellow thing is called the Golden Flame. It sits atop the Asahi Beer headquarters to symbolize their passion for brewing. Supposedly some locals affectionately refer to it as the golden turd or the poo building.      Les mer

      Tokyo - Day 5

      29. mai, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Another epic day. We are in the Shinjuku district, which has great architecture and fabulous people watching.

      Skipping breakfast we headed to the Tsukiji Outer Market based on the rain forecast (rain held off until ). A must see for market lovers, we all went in different directions. Fresh tuna, wagu, grilled oysters (video below), and sukiyaki (really good) . Everyone had a great time.

      We did a brief dip into the Ginza and went to a fabulous stationary store (Ginza Natsuno) with a huge variety of chopsticks, and Ginza department store (Matsuya Ginza-7th floor) with a lifestyle section. By this time, we were all a little tired and retreated to our hotel before our 5 o’clock baseball game.

      The baseball game was really festive and fast moving (our team had three home runs) until about 8 o’clock when the rain got to be too much and we retreated back to our hotel (they called the game five minutes after we left).

      One of the unique aspects of the game is all of the young women that have these big beer backpacks that go around selling the beer to you in your seats (see pic). The crowd is noisy and festive (as shown in the video). The food was really good (short-rib on rice). Yay to Judy and’s Ben for planning it.

      Back to the ryokan.

      Day 2

      29. april, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 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!Les mer

      Day 3

      1. mai, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 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!      Les mer

      Golden gai night out

      10. januar 2023, Japan ⋅ 🌙 4 °C

      I wasn't going to head out as was still a little tired and hungover from the night before but I popped down for a hair of the dog and there was another Pakistani Kiwi Eman with an American brother and sister team Matt and Molly, who wanted to see golden gai so we headed out for a quick dinner and drink.
      We went through the red light district first and everyone felt a little hungry so I tried to find a place. Google said there was one down a dark alley which they were all apprehensive about but I figured why not and was glad once we found the place. It was a kishiage place which had everything fried on a stick. I got an omakase option which gave me shrimp, octopus, baby corn, rice, cheese and pork.
      I ordered myself a large beer and that was a little larger than I expected but went down well.
      We then continued on to golden gai and popped into the first one that looked interesting. It was tiny with very little room to move but we sat at the bar with chandeliers and ordered a few drinks. They had a chilli gin which we shoted but it wasn't that hot.
      We then went onto another bar around the corner who originally said there was no room but allowed us the above bar room. It had very little headspace but we crammed in there for a few more drinks.
      It was funny when someone needed to go to the toilet though as that was behind all the finnish people.
      Some indian Canadian people showed up and joined for a few drinks.
      We then had to taxi back towards the cabin hotel as the trains had stopped at that time and they all felt a little hungry so we grabbed some ramen from ichiramen. Was a cool experience that you didn't really see the kitchen or wait staff and they just lifted the curtains to pass you food.
      Another 3am night so I went home and crashed.      Les mer

      Das erste Mal Ramen

      9. august 2023, Japan ⋅ 🌧 30 °C

      Heute Mittag waren wir das erste Mal Ramen essen bei der bekannten Kette „Ichiran“. Man wählt erst auf dem Automaten, was man haben möchte, bezahlt mit Bargeld (Cash is king in Japan) und bekommt ein kleines Ticket pro Gericht. Dann geht man in einen Raum mit vielen kleinen „Bar- Kammern“, bei denen auf der anderen Seite die Mitarbeiter stehen und füllt das Formular auf dem zweiten Bild aus. Das wird von einem Mitarbeiter genommen (und wir hätten noch die Karten auf dem dritten Foto nutzen können 😅) und wenige Minuten später stehen dann die super leckeren Ramen vor einem🍜Les mer

      Visiting temples. gardens and Tokyo Museum today. Including Meiji-jingu temple. Rained all day 😂. A bit different from New Zealand weatherwise. Cherry blossom beginning to appear. Beautiful. Also visited ‘piss alley’ a very narrow street renowned for its bars and street food.Les mer

      Today was Sumo Day!

      We woke up, did a quick load of laundry, then headed to Ryōgoku Kokugikan Sumo Hall for the Sumo tournament. The walk there was super hot (as was the whole day). We were there around noon, so it was still more of the novice wrestlers, but it was super entertaining. Some of the guys are actually pretty fit, while some are XXXXL. When we had our cooking class, she told us they get so fat because they eat a veggie and meat soup and then go to sleep hahaha you can’t tell me they’re not downing McDonalds and bags of chips all day to get the size some of them are haha Ole got a bento box for lunch at the tournament, which is a normal lunch or travel food here filled with a variety of foods. He thought it was tasty!

      We eventually left to walk to Nakamise-dori Street, which was supposed to be a nice street food / souvenir shopping area, but when we got there, the streets were packed. It turns out the Sanja Matsuri Festival was happening. It’s a Buddhist festival, and one of Tokyo’s biggest shrines is in this area. That was something to see. They all had short robes on, and many men didn’t have anything underneath haha

      After making our way around there, we were really craving the big fluffy pancakes you always see on Instagram. We found the chain, Happy Pancake, in Ikebukuro. We had to wait about half and hour, but they were so worth it. They were melt-in-your-mouth good.

      We walked around that area, and ended up in Sunshine City, a huge mall. There are 4 floors of shopping and restaurants - kind of like a more compact Mall of America. Our favorite part? The world’s largest capsule toys arcade, with over 3,000 machines to buy shitty little toys that come in balls. They also had crane games where Ole finally won something…. A horse for Brewski!! He’s going to be so happy haha

      We ended the night with a quick dinner by our hotel, but it was nothing special.

      Hakone & Tokio

      5. mars, Japan ⋅ 🌧 7 °C

      Nach Kyōto trennten wir uns von den Anderen und für uns ging es für eine Nacht nach Hakone, um den Fuji- Hakone- Izu- Nationalpark zu besuchen. Da es beide Tage ziemlich regnete, erhielten wir leider nur einen kleinen Eindruck des Parks. Durch den vielen Regen und Nebel gelang es uns nicht, den Mount Fuji zu sehen. 🙁 Auch während unserer Bootsfahrt über den Lake Ashi sahen wir kaum was. So ist es eben, man kann nicht immer Glück mit dem Wetter haben. Somit starteten wir ein Alternativprogramm und für uns ging es in eine Onse, ein traditionelles Bad mit heißen Quellen. Und das war absolut genial. Von verschieden heißen Becken bis hin zu verschiedenen Saunen. Anschließend ging es für uns zu unserem letzten Ziel: Tokio, die größte Stadt der Welt. Dort übernachteten wir zwei Nächte in Shinjuku, einem belebten Stadtteil Tokios. Dank eines HopOn- HopOff Busses konnten wir zumindest einige Teile Tokios erkunden. So verrückt zu sehen, wie viele Menschen auf einmal die Straße überqueren. Überall sind Menschenmassen, die Stadt ist riesig und sehr belebt. Wir besuchten das Animeviertel, welches wir etwas schräg fanden, denn überall konnte man in Massen Animeprodukte kaufen. Ansonsten verfügt Tokio über alles, was man sich nur vorstellen kann. Von etlichen Restaurants, Cafés, Shops…
      Wir sind sehr froh, Japan bereist zu haben. Es ist ein sehr facettenreiches Land mit einer faszinierenden Kultur. Allerdings muss man auch dazu sagen, dass es uns auf Dauer etwas zu „streng“ sein würde. Hier ein paar Beispiele, an die man sich halten sollte: Es wird in der Öffentlichkeit nur leise gesprochen, die Handys sind auf lautlos zu stellen und im öffentlichen Nahverkehr ist telefonieren verboten. Zudem sollte man während dem Gehen nicht trinken oder essen. Die Schuhe müssen meistens in Räumen ausgezogen werden. Vor einsteigen in Zügen oder Busse oder bevor betreten eines Restaurants wird sich in eine Reihe gegliedert. Tattoos bilden ein Problem, da es einige Einheimische an die Jakuza erinnert. Das heißt, am besten abdecken oder „tattoofreundliche“ Fitnessstudios oder Onsen besuchen. Die Einheimischen schätzen einen wertschätzenden und respektvollen Umgang miteinander und das war auf jeden Fall schön und interessant zu beobachten.😊      Les mer
