Ok i'm finally off my lazy butt to bring you pictures from my trip to Japan. (Which was awesome by the way and i'm glad I went)
Got into Narita Aiport Sunday evening and had to take a train into Tokyo, about an hour away.
This is one of the local Tokyo JR (Japan Rail) Trains I took to get to the district where my Hostel was.
My first steps into the abyss.
Typical dorm style room in the hostels in Japan. This was in Tokyo.
Every toilet has about 20 buttons, and it took me a while to figure out what most of them do.
Features include:
Seat warmer
Bidet with multiple pressure modes
Air purifyer and deoderizer
15 CFM Fan for dispensing deoderizer
and much much more!
The hostel in Tokyo
One of the many gates to one of the many temples all over Japan.
This happens to be the gates before the Senso-ji Temple in Tokyo
Pagoda in Senso-ji
Hey look! It's Tom in the vending machine!
One of the many markets around Japan.
Train station
The trains are unbelievably awesome in Japan. So efficient, always on time, always easy and I always knew where I was going. So easy to navigate.
Samurai!
The land around the imperial palace in tokyo
The Imperial Palace itself. The mote and walls.
The Emperor of Japan lives in there, and he likes his quiet time.
These dudes mean business. They will karate chop you.
Samurai!
Artsy
War museum in Tokyo
A6M5 Type 0 Model 52 Zero fighter!
Tokyo at night from the Tokyo tower. A lot of stuff.
Municipal buildings in TOkyo
Speaks for itself
Some mini market in Tokyo. This place was strange. It seemed tiny, like 3/4 of normal building sizes.
Electronics store. I just about had a seizure from all the colours and junk everywhere.
