Tokyo trip plans

Arrived in Kyoto today. Met up with Lauren in the Narita airport (ended up being fairly easy to just wait in the bag claim area for her flight to get in). Went from the bag claim to the JR Rail Pass area (well, first we went to 2 ticket booths who very kindly pointed <B>us</B> to the correct area). The lady at the Rail Pass station got <B>us</B> our passes very quickly and when we told her we were headed to Kyoto, she went ahead and printed <B>us</B> reservation tickets so that we wouldn't have to scramble for seats. I have to say the Japan Rail system really does put all other trains to shame. Not only are the su...

I get all of my equipment from Amazon or B&H Photo as they have the best prices. Support my photography. =) United Business Class to <B>Tokyo</B> Flying to Japan isn't so bad when you somehow snagged a world traveler bf, who has free upgrades to business class. This was my first flight to Asia, so flying business class made all the difference in the worl...

Visit Viator.com's <B>Tokyo</B> Suggested Itineraries Page <B>Tokyo</B> is a blast! It's a full-on head-rush and an explosion of sensory stimulation – sights and sounds, and the tastes of real Japanese food. <B>Tokyo</B> is one of the world's great megapolises (there are 33.5 million people in the greater <B>Tokyo</B> area!), and here you can find the quietness of a Shinto shrine amidst towering steel-and-glass skyscrapers and fields of neon, here the cutting edge and the traditional coexist in ethereal harmony – kimono-clad computer warriors, punk rockers with impeccable manners. There are some excellent multi-day tours...

March 10 and March 11th, 2008 I wish I had been brave enough to tell my boss that I needed Sunday off to pack...but with already extending my one week vacation to almost three weeks...I went to work. I had been logging so many hours to meet all of my March deadines to make sure my adventure abroad was stress and guilt free. This is where I wish I could tell you how prepared I was and how easy it is to book all of your travel plans as a solo traveler for the first time to the other side of the planet...hop on a plane without care and voila! World traveler extroidiare... but that would be a lie....

223 day trip

We finished packing (I think), now we're trying to stay up as late as possible to get a head start on adjusting to the 16 hour time difference. We'll see how that goes... We're in Japan, aka "the future"! After 18 hours of traveling we finally got to our hostel. The plane ride was long, I sort of thought it would never end, but it did. But disembarking from the plane is hardly the end of it when you travel internationally. There's immigration, which had a long line, and customs... Then we had a few other errands to take care of in the airport. After we got our rail passes set, we took the hour...

19 day trip

On our first night out we went to Shibuya which is a part of a <B>Tokyo</B>. It had everything you would expect from <B>Tokyo</B> skyscrapers, neon lights and lots of people. On our second day we decided to first check out the Imperial Palace where the current emperor lives, you are not allowed inside the palace itself which kind of sucked but you can wander around the garden so we did that. From the Imperial Palace we took the subway to Asakusa to see the shrine located there, which featured a 5 level Pagoda. To cap off a long hot day we decided to go to Shinjuku aka Skyscraper City, this is truly the hear...
