(Town)

Dalam post ne, saya akan bercerita mengenai bandar2 yg saya melawat kat Jepun. Sepanjang perjalanan bandar2 yg saya melawat di Jepun ialah; Tokyo, Morioka, Hachinohe, Kuji, Aomori, Sapporo, Wakkanai, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kagoshima, Chiiran, Ibusuki, Kumamoto, Kanazawa, Nakano.

Haa.... banyak giler kan haha... dari utara sampai la ke selatan... banyak btol duitnye bole menggembara sakan... Rahsianye... JR Pass.

Harga die lebih kurang 270 man yen for 7 days, kalau convert ke Malaysia macam around RM800-900 gitu. Memang mahal... tetapi dgn pass ne... Semua JR line termasuk SHINKANSEN seluruh Tokyo free. Sebab tu la bole travel dari hujung ke hujung jepun suke2 ati je.

Tapi sepanjang travel ne mmg duk dalam SHINKAN lame giler aa haha sampai da muak. Nasib baik selesa dan mudah.

This is what you do when you're bored in Shinkansen

Ok, mari kita bermula dgn Tokyo. Tempoh duduk kat Tokyo saja mungkin dkat sebulan. So mmg rasanya da melawat semua main city dalam tokyo da - antaranya;

1) Shimbashi

Some of the night view in front of Shimbashi eki

Big Kanno Mihho ad in front of Shimbashi eki

Not much to say - my first, most frequented and final destination in Tokyo.

2) Akihabara

Welcome to Akiba

Akihabara atau singkatannye Akiba - tempat ne mmg femes la kan - terkenal dgn AKB48, Otaku, Maid cafe, Electronics, Manga&Anime dan sewaktu dengannye... First time I visited here is on Sunday - on this day from 12pm until 5pm (rasenye) die akan open the main road only for pedestrian. Very amazing feeling! You get to walk on this big street surrounded by buildings. *Baru2 ne KL pon nak wat mcm ne - I fully support this! (tp ramai yg komplen... cmon Malaysian! Jgn asyik nk komplen je!)

This is one of the cheapest place to shop for almost everything except clothes. Bile da malam (siang2 pon ade) akan keluarla gadis2 muda yg takde kerja laen... ajak org masuk maid cafe atau cafe2 lain. Tapi bile nampak gaijin (org asing) mcm I ne... terus senyap, haha! Sebabnye... diorang tak pandai ckp english, nanti da masuk tak tau cmne nk layan haha.

Action Figures!

3) Shibuya

Shibuya - femes shopping district. Kalau nak cari clothes2 stylish or branded this is the place! Tapi tempat ne on weekend... Ya Allah... ramai nye manusia!! Ramai tak terkata la... mmg one of the interesting sight is looking at the intersection from top... tak berhenti2 org lalu.

Lautan manusia melintas Shibuya intersection

Shibuya 109 - one of the symbols of Shibuya

Hikarie - tallest shopping complex in Shibuya (I think...)

Shibuya is also famous for Hachiko statue... Hachiko story is very nice to those who dont know, worthwhile reading on it.

Statue of Hachiko

4) Harajuku- Omotesando

Same like Shibuya, shopping district - banyak org!!

5) Ginza

Also similiar to above, but tapi tempat ne macam lebih high class sket kot, and less crowded.

6) Ueno - Ameyoko

Ne kalau nak wat reference kat Malaysia - chow kit road la. Ameyoko ne penuh dgn gerai2 jalanan dan org2 dari Afrika haha.

This is the filming site for Amachan! Jejeje!

7) Odaiba

If I have to name my favourite spot in Tokyo - it would be Odaiba. Beautiful & interesting day and night! Enjoy the beautiful beaches in the morning and illuminations at night.

Famous for

Rainbow Bridge
