My Japan Trip (2 Weeks)-Part 1: Tokio (Alot of Pictures)

Hello guys! In September 2016 i traveled for 2 weeks to Japan with my friend and recently looked through the tons of fotos we made and thought you might like to see some of them with some backstory :). We traveled 3 major citys. The first target was Tokio for around 5-6 days. From there to Kyoto for 4 days and then to Osaka for again 4 days and then back to Tokio for around 2 days.

I will split this Travel in some Parts because we saw so much interesting things that it would be a hassle to read in one. I think i will do every part 2-3 days, depending how much we saw.

But lets beginn!

We took the flight from Vienna Airport to Dubai Airport (about 6 hours flight) and then directly from Dubai Aiport to Tokia Hanneda Airport (about 10 hours flight). So we flew around 16 hours nonstop and arrived late at night in Tokio and had an pretty bad jetlag the next morning haha. Nevertheless we were so happy finally arriving that we couldnt care less :).

View out of our tiny hotelroom:

Full of excitment we got cheap breakfast from an 7/11, which are every 100 meters and 24/7 open, which we absolutelly loved and wished we had that in europe too!

We then decided to go to akihabara, and famous maid and electronic district in tokio. We were not let down:

Seeeegaaa :)

How cool does this district look eh? But that was just the beginning. We then saw this:

until i started to get weird haha:

We saw this used underwear vendor and said to ourself that we went to deep into this district :D.

Next we decided to go to the Kings palace next. We read that is just amazing there but thats just an understatement i think. You go from one of the biggest citys of the world to an place which seems like its a complete different place. But the pictures say more than 1000 words:

The palace is in the middle of an gigantic park

houses the japanese used to live in not even that long ago!

cool rock thingy you can walk on

nearly forget that i was in a city :D

We already seen so much and we just were some hours on the feet. We loved it. Full of Fomo (fear of missing out :D) we quickly went to our next destination.

Shibuya
Some may know the famous Shibuya crossing. I think this is a must see if you are in tokio: up to 15.000 people cross this crossing at once! Yeah we couldnt belive it either. We arrived there when it was a bit more silent :).

Even though it was silent relatively for the place we were at, we needed a bit rest from everything and decided to go to an near park in Shibuya in the hope we can escape the 30 degrees Celsius and humidity of around 90 percent. We arent used to that in September from our Country.

On the way there we saw something rather funny and unexpected haha:

random mario kart fans show up out of nowere

Well it was one of the biggest parks i ever saw in an city. We had the biggest contrast again from city chaos to absolute peace.

quite an impressive entrance for an park :)

around this time we were starting to feel the jacklag and decided we saw enough for the first day. We went to the hotel, decided what we want to see tomorow and rested!

To be continued in Part 2!
Next: Day 2-Tokio
