Day Trip out of Tokyo: Everyone lands here, but forgets to wander around

  • The dusty town of Narita.

    I took a 2 day stop over once on my way to L.A and really enjoyed the less noisy part of Japan. Everything was pretty laid back with small streets (like the picture) and lots of old folks. The center of Narita was slightly bigger, with a Jusco shopping mall, restaurants and tons of Pachinko outlets. Move in deeper into the town and you will come across lovely temples,houses and lots of greenary.

    Day Trip out of Tokyo: Cont' of Narita town
  • Tip Rating:


  • As I walked deep into one of the lanes, I came across this Japanese gentleman beheading some eels...actually a huge bucket of live eels when I looked closely.

    His technique was pretty simple, pull an eel from the bucket, pin it on the head, slit it in the abdomen and clear it's contents, remove the pin and finally into another bucket. Now, the yucky part is that during this entire 30 second process, the eel is still slithering around in the new bucket....

    A sight to be seen, well worth it.

     Hey, great club list. Included some of my favorites. Should really try to find BLUE. Kinda like YELLOW but harder to find about 10 min walk from Harajuku station. Sorry, so drunk I was very lucky to find my way to the station at 5am.
