A week In Tokyo!

recently I was able to travel around Toyoko and explore some of the most amazing places that this city has to offer. It is made up of some of the most amazing sub-cities that you can even imagine. I once you hit the ground in Narita airport, it can be a bit of a struggle to get pointed in the right direction.... its great things from there!

SHIBUYA!

One of the first spots I hit was Shibuya. This place is known as the busiest crossing in the world. I can say that this place at night can be an overwhelming place if you are not used to 1,000 people crossing a road every minute!

I did find a place to get high up to get the true scope of how busy and large Shibuya and Tokyo is.

SHINJUKU

If you want to go and do some high in the shopping, this is the next place to visit. I hopped on the train and went up to Shinjuku and this was the "skyscraper" part of Tokyo. I also learned that Shinjuku Station is the busiest station in the world also. A local told me that somewhere between 1.5- 4 million people travel to this station every day!

Its crazy that everything you can imagine is all here and then some.

I started to fall in love with all the neon lights of the nightlife here and the blur of life as it passes you by here.

I also found a really cool Camera store called YodobaShi that was not only a cool building but also 5 different building on 4 different blocks in Shinjuku. That is the crazy part.

SKYTREE and TOKYO TOWER

I wanted to also visit 2 places that I always see in postcards of facebook. So I went to Skytree and went to the top of the build to see the city below.

Now from the top of the Tower!

Now for Tokyo Tower, We got pointed to Tokyo world trade center to check out the observation deck to get the view I wanted.

one more for Tokyo Tower.

Ok, one more I guess..... however, we went to a different location.

YOKOHAMA

So the next day, we went down to Yokohama and see this great city and what makes it amazing. However, on the way down, I got into some street shots I really do love.

A cool taxi man sleeping and I found a cool pond with some Koi fish.

The cosmo Clock.

The seaport I think. either way, the long wood deck was a great place to see the city of Yokohama from the sea.

GETTING OUT OF TOKYO - FUJI/IZU/HAKONE

I was told that I need to get out of Tokyo for a few days and see some of the amazing places like Izu peninsula, Hakone or Fuji. So we jumped in a car and went out to see the countryside.

Mt Fuji from the lakeside.

Next are Hakone and the amazing views it has to offer.

This is Hakone Dragon Shrine. This place was AMAZING!

Next was IZU. This place is a must see if you can afford the 4-hour drive away from Tokyo.

After our trip to the countryside, we woke up the next morning from our hotel and enjoyed the sunrise over Docomo Tower.

And we hit up some cherry blossoms before we got on our place back home.

Well, that was my recap of my trip to Tokyo. I really enjoyed the culture of Japan and the never-ending city of Tokyo. Its a city that never sleeps and has more going for it than most cities. I live in both the tech side and the ancient times. If you have a few hundrend bucks and want to see a place that will change your life. This is a place to visit.
