Tokyo Off the Beaten Path Tips by Archie_Oak

Ueno to Akiabara

There is a suburb of Tokyo called Ueno. It is a small suburb.

From this place, if you start walking by the railway line, it takes u nearly 1.5hrs to reach Akiabara the electronic town. On your way you can take a look at the markets on the street, where fresh sea food is sold. You will find many Indian and Pakistani shops on this road. On your way you can munch on different types of rice. Rice with plums in it is my hot favorite
There are such routes on many JR (Japan Railway) lines. Groups are seen moving around these circular tracks over night!!!

Onjuku Beach

A Camel ride in Japan? That too on the sand dunes??? What rubbish!!!
But to tell you, it is a fact...only allow me to make slight modification that the camels and the sand dunes are artificial!!!
The Onjuku beach is 1hr train journey from Tokyo, in Chiba prefecture, area called as Boso peninsula in Pacific Ocean. Get on to Sobo line from Tokyo station. Its JR line
As you enter this small town, you will find the entire town is decorated to give it a look of any Arab towns....date trees by the road side, small Arabian style statues, and the camels and the sand dunes created on the beach.....

Don't miss out this beach...excellent place for surfing and sun bathing.....
