  • Tokyo, areas has been break into tiny spaces, base on group of ethnics, age and interest.
    Specifically, some area are crowded with Chinese, Malaysian, Korean, Iranian etc. Shibuya are popular with collages students, Shinjuku is famous with young people and Ginza is a hot spot for Madam and senior rich people. Other than this, some off the beaten path, `Love Hotel' and back street lane should be avoided, basically this area is mainly for prostitutions, gays and gangster. Too many drunk people walking, hanging and sleeping on the street, some gun fight may be happen.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Money changer kiosk in Tokyo is NONE, basically you have to go to the back between 08:30-15:00, or you can withdraw with your cash card from any back with a high service charge. If possible try to solve the money problem before your arrival in Japan or at least before stepping out of Tokyo International Airport to Tokyo.

  • Ticket for day trip are divided into few type, basically it divided into JR, City Subway and Public Subway. All of them using different tickets and system, The service doesn't combine, so you must make sure that your destination and direction very clear then buy ticket. Otherwise you may end up with buying 3 to 4 types of tickets.

    JP Pass for long distance basically is convenience, please do not forget to bring your passport a long for necessary verification.

  • There are a large number of religions in Japan like Omn, The White's and so on. Most of the religions teaches us not to fight with each other but the meaning has been distorted, they do love each other but among the followers only, for non believer, they consider as alien or outsider. This large group of people have their own way to collect the fund to their God, if you have involved of this, they can never be escaped from it. Must avoid from the beginning.

    Japanese Government tried to stop this but has been threaten several times with terror here and there.

     I am going to Tokyo this summer, on a Monday and Tuesday. I know the best day to go to Harajuku is Sunday - I'm going to miss it! Will there still be costumed people there on those days?
