First time to Tokyo Japan

First time to Tokyo Japan

With cheap tickets from SAS airlines I am going to travel to Tokyo Japan. A extended weekend due to some hours flight from Norway. For some time I have had Tokyo on my list of destinations. As it takes minimum 17 hours from Norway to get there it has not been at the top of my list. Finally the day is here to find out what it is all about, my first time to Tokyo Japan experience. A common thing I heard before going is that the English level is so low that you as s foreigner will not be able to get around or communicate with the people living there. I hope to get that proved wrong.

Before traveling I have checked some things to do, visit a maid cafe, Tokyo Tower, Shibuya district, Ginza District, Tokyo Zoo in Ueno district, Mori Art museum, find a good restaurant and try some Asian food.

The view from the tower is amazing, there`s no end to this megacity

Hopefully the best glass ever made

Where did you last get amazed by a restroom? The skinks, all automatic, soap, wash, rinse, dry

Ginza district, shopping and all your luxury brands

Navigating trough the railway system, so fast and efficient

Evening food at maid cafe, strange strange experience, miaow miaow

Food is served by my best new maid friends

600 yen for the photo and nice words

Pachinko playing, loud, smoking allowed and dedicated players

Safety first, always! Theres a hole in the ground, let`s hope no one got hurt.

A quick international meal

Tokyo streets, bring good shoes and walk

Getting around Tokyo seems easy, people is polite and will go far to help you, even if they can not speak English well or you can not speak Japanese. Signs in train stations and most public transport is in both Japanese and English. JR line, work, sleep, listen to music, repeat.
