東京観光

It's has been 6 years since I went back.. Many places have changed..
Found many New places and I have very enjoyed this trip..

Intro the places I had visited in Tokyo for this Free & Easy trip..
Showing u all on how to travel to these places..

After landing in Haneda Airport (羽田空港) early in the morning, I bought the Limousine Bus tickets at 1,200 Yen each in the Airport to Sunshine City Prince Hotel located at Ikebukuro (池袋)..

Waiting for the bus here..

In the bus..


Over at Ikebukuro (池袋), there are a lot of shopping malls and shops around..

It's their School Holiday season.. There are always lots of people every where We go.. LoL..

On the First Day, We went to Yokohama (横浜)..
Taking the Circle Line Subway and change train at Shinagawa Station (品川駅).. Drop off at Sakuragichō Station (桜木町駅)..


We went to The Cup Noodles Museum there..

Nothing much to see.. Most of the stuffs are for kids..


Evening time, We went over to Ueno (上野)..

The wholesale Market here.. Can buy lots of Cheap goodies..

On the Second Day, We went to Gotemba (御殿場市)..
It is a city on the south eastern flank of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka..
The Gotemba Premium Outlets are Japan's most popular outlet mall, located in Gotemba City at the base of Mount Fuji..


We needed to take the Free Shuttle Bus Service over at Gotemba interchange to the Premium Outlets.. We can choose to take the Express Subway or the bus going to Gotemba interchange.. Taking the train is more expensive than taking the bus and the timing different about 10 min (Both travelling time about 2 hours).. Wiser to take the bus..

Take Circle Line and Drop off at Shinjuku Station (新宿駅).. Walk out of the station and Buy the Odakyu (小田急) bus tickets at the Odakyu shopping mall (小田急百貨店).. The ticketing shop is just right outside the shopping mall near Shinjuku station (東京都新宿区)..


In the bus on the Highway.. Travelling time about 2 hours..

The View of Mt Fuji is covered by the clouds..

Spend quite a lot..

Inside the shop..


On the Third Day, went to Odaiba (お台場)..


Taking Circle Line and Drop off at Shimbashi Station (新橋駅).. Walk out of the station and change train at New Transit Yurikamome station (新交通ゆりかもめ)..

Evening time, We took Subway to Shibamata (柴又)..
From Ueno Station, walk out and go to take the Keisei Kanamachi Line across the street..

Walking across the railway to get to the other side..

It's an old town.. Just 30mins from the city and a great throw back to Showa period Tokyo..
