Things to do in Japan (Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka)
Hi I’m gonna share you about what this to do in Japan! I’m going to
3 city here but I’m gonna separete my blog into 2 part. Now I’m gonna
tell you about basic things you should know and Tokyo and recommend
hotel and the second part I’m gonna share you the place you should visit
in Kyoto and Osaka and my recommendation food in Japan. And this is a
guide for backpackers travelling (non-tour).
First we gonna talk about things you must know before go to Japan.
Japan has 2 type of subway it’s called Metro and JR,if you use a
different subway you have to pay twice (example : first you take metro
and move to JR you have to pay twice,but if it’s all metro or all JR
just pay once it’s okay).
If you having a long trip i suggest you deposit a metro card,the
metro card also has 2 type it’s called pasmo and suica,i don’t really
know the different of it but i using pasmo,it need deposit for ¥500/card
and you can refill the card when you needed. Pasmo also can use for
city bus. You can buy it at metro station. Before you go home don’t
forget to refund it at metro station.

And for the JR if you planning to go to other city (example : from
tokyo to kyoto/osaka/anywhere (depends on tour trip)) i also suggest you
buy a JR pass,it has long period of time,but i take 1 weeks for around
¥29.000/person and you can buy it online.

Tokyo
Now I’m gonna talk about place that you should visit in Tokyo.
Disneyland & Disneysea Tokyo
Happiest place on earth they said,for this place you can buy the
ticket online,i buy 2 days pass ticket first day i take to Disneyland
and second day i take for disneysea. You also can book it online for
maybe around IDR 2.000.000 (Indonesia money) for 2 days pass.
When i got there it’s summer and at that time Tokyo it’s veryvery
hot so they don’t play the fireworks. It’s too bad but I still can enjoy
it,disney it’s always a good idea for me.
If you like extreme games I recommend you take space mountain and big thunder mountain.
Disneyland subway station it’s called Maihama station so just find at google maps so you can’t get lost.
I'm taking a lot of picture because i'm too excited!
Shinjuku
This one is also a shopping street like any other shopping street.
Ueno
Here’s a shopping street,there’s a lot Japan local drugstore and camera shop,they also have a big mall called OIOI.
Asakusa
It’s a food street and also shopping street but here you can also
visit Sensoji Temple,in this place you can also rent a Yukata (Japanese
traditional clothes for summer) and walking through this place using it.

Shibuya
Famous crossing street in Japan,have you ever watch tokyo drift?
Yeah this is the place where they took the scene,it’s the most busy
intersection in the world. They said if you’re in Tokyo and not come to
this intersection well you’re not officially in Japan,haha..
