It has always been a dream for me to go to Japan. I always watch anime series since I was a kid and I have always been fascinated not only with their beautiful cities and parks but also with the people. They have always been described as disciplined, respectful and hardworking. And they are right! I saw students lining up before the pedestrian crossing and my lost umbrella was returned in an instant together with the coins left on our table.
I travelled with my sister and stayed in the house of our Aunt and her family so we saved a lot 😅. We did not have to rent a hotel room or airbnb. We also got free foods of course so we are very grateful to them for accommodating us.
So here are some pictures from our first day in tokyo,
We tried some traditional tea in a park somewhere in tokyo. I do not really remember the name od the place but it was inside a park. 😅
This is a pagoda in Asakusa Sensoji temple. And that is my sister posing for the camera.
This my beautiful "tita" or Aunt. She accompanied us in the tour.
The was cooked in front of us on our table! That was first time to experience that kind of service ever.
We went to tokyo tower and went up to the observation deck. But we only stayed for a few minutes because we only have limited time. We are actually on a bus tour so we do not control our sched on the first day. I really wanted to stay and go inside the mugiwara store but the guide was already waiting for us.
This is the Sensoji temple. There are lots of people here! I think it was a sunday so maybe that why there are so many people. But the crowd is amazing. There lots tourists but the place still looks so clean and beautiful.
This is my sister. 😅
It was in front of the imperial palace gate. We only got a glimpse. The tou only covers the gate so there. I just sat there waiting for the cue from our tour guide
This is me trying to reload our cards. It was not my firat time to reload a card like this
It is actually similar to what they have in taiwan and singapore but with different language and currency of course 😅.
This is the street market in Asakusa. You can buy some souvenirs and traditional stuffs here. You can't eat or drink while walking!
This is tokyo station. This where the tour bus drpped us off.
So that was the first part of the tokyo tour. I have so many pictures but i don't think i have include them all in here. I posted some in my instagram account @wnsn21. It was actually summer when we were there but the weather had been so gloomy throughout our stay. Unlucky us. 😅
