🇯🇵 Shinchan train stamp collection
In Japan, there is a trend and practice to collect all the train stations and temples stamp at each train stations and temple you have visited. You can use your collection booklet or buy an official booklet and collect the ink-stamp chop. These ink-stamp chop is free and they are place nearby the control station or reception. You can approach the staff and stamp it yourself onto your booklet. There is an ongoing Crayon Shinchan stamp collection and one of these stamps is located inside Tokyo station.

🚄Tokyo ➡️ Kyoto | Japan’s bullet train
I took the bullet train, also known as Shinkansen in Japanese, from Tokyo to Kyoto. Starting off my journey at Tokyo Station, a central district of the city, with many subway lines connecting to. The station also has many bento and souvenir shops.
On the train, the legroom was very generous and the chair could be reclined. There’s also toilets on board. A staff came to sell snacks and I picked ice cream. They also accept digital payment.
The whole journey was around two hours that took me from the city centre of Tokyo to that of Kyoto.
Price per Person - JPY 13,800

Amazing Toyama
Toyama is easily accessible from Tokyo and other major cities.Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo Station and the ride takes approximately two hours.
Toyama is a modern city, but it retains the local character shaped by its surroundings—mountains, sea, and rivers.
Toyama's location and access to public transportation make it a great starting point for trips in and around the region. Take day trips to nearby towns and ski resorts, tackle the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and continue on to Nagano Prefecture or visit neighboring prefectures such as Kanazawa, Takayama, Kamikochi, and Matsumoto.

Tokyo station
One of my favourite and essential places to get all my favourite snacks. Here you can find brands such as Tokyo bananas, Audrey, press butter sand, Yoku moku, Cocoris, Calbee plus, Maple Mania,, Gin no budo, Captain cheese. There are more variety out there as well. To add on there are some restaurant offering nice food and some small cafe.
Key thing is not to get lost easily as this interchange is quite big and huge

Tea Break On Board Shinkansen
#afternoontea
During my trip to Japan while traveling from Osaka to Tokyo as it a late noon train I bought a Bento from the station . They sold many different type of Bento.
Having a tea break on board the train really help to make the travel experience more fun . Even on board the train there will be staff pushing cart selling drink and snack for passengers
Watching how the train Zoom by is a great way to enjoy . I manage to catch a view of Mount Fuji too while having my tea break .

Tokyo Station
#celebratewithtrip
Tokyo station is one of the busiest station in Japan as all the connections for intercity, bus and bullet trains are here.
Tokyo station does also have shopping centers and food stores to choose from. There will be no boredom while waiting for your next train or bus ride!
Roaming around the station is really worth it. Tokyo station is for me, another tourist spot attraction! The whole building is really beautiful with all its red bricks.
If you want to walk around the station, you can leave your baggage at the Marunouchi North Exit, there you can find the JR East Travel Service Center Bagage Storage.

Hotel in a train station
Address - Tokyo Train Station, The Tokyo Station Hotel, 1-Chome-9-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda City, Tokyo 100-0005, Japan
Tokyo Train Station is an extremely large railway station that actually has two wings, one on the west side Marunouchi and the other on the east side Yaesu. As one of the busiest stations serving multiple rail networks, it makes sense to have a hotel connected to the station!
Tokyo Station Hotel is located in the Marunouchi Station building and has rooms overlooking the inner courtyard of the station itself. Quite an interesting view to see the commuters going to and fro from the comforts of your own room.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tokyo: Chasing the Lights
Tokyo is an unconventional city. It does not conform, but rather it shapes and flourish from its own idiosyncratic ways.
If there is one very distinct and unmistakable character this futuristic city has is The Lights. Streaks of bright colored and luminous waves shines through the city, bringing vibrance and and stimulates the senses. And when there is lights, then there is life, and Tokyo isn't the one to fade quickly.
The Tokyo Station, the gateway to the Capital for visitors arriving via Bullet train from Narita Airport welcomes visitors with golden burst of lights shining through the high ceiling down to the its halls, enticing the arriving tourist to explore the plethora of shopping and dining options.
It is also not uncommon to admire the elegant architectural details from the outside with the red brick of the Meiji era adorning the structure.

The original station is located in Chiyoda's Marunouchi business district near the Imperial Palace grounds. The newer eastern extension is not far from the Ginza commercial district.

More than four days in Tokyo, I have checked out the shooting area of Jay MV, "I don't cry," and went to see the old buildings of the Edo period. I finally saw Mount Fuji in layers of clouds, and I also eated before I left. Have a delicious sushi.
For the reference of the itinerary
D1 (half day) Tokyo Tower Roppongi
D2 Asakusa Temple Ueno Shibuya Night
D3 Fujiyama Ginza Tokyo World Trade Center
D4 Daikanyama Tsukiji Market Shinjuku
D5 Ningyocho Valley Ginza Roots Shinjin Shrine Ikebukuro
Get a low-cost ticket experience
No booking tickets in advance, start to brush the ticket more than a week before departure, after actual comparison, the cheapest ticket in one day The time is more expensive in the morning, afternoon or evening. The amount of remaining votes displayed when booking a ticket is not very accurate. It is estimated to be a means of stimulating the order. When I bought the ticket for the same flight, I always reminded the remaining two. After a few days, I found that there were still two remaining, and I was booked.
Select the right hotel
like the lively nightlife, you can choose the hotels in Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro area. These hotels are generally in the downtown area, the traffic is very convenient, but the disadvantage is that It's easy to get lost, Lost in Tokyo is a matter of minutes and seconds.
Like a quiet street, you can live around the subway line and experience the quiet side of Tokyo.
I stayed at two hotels this time, one in the Ikebukuro area near the Tokyo Tower, the former one, the latter quiet, just right, let me experience the two sides of Tokyo.
Price reduction, when there is no selected hotel, you can wait to see the hotel price reduction and start.
Take the subway to go to Tokyo
Many famous attractions in Tokyo can be taken by subway. Some emerging niche places need to take the JR block track. If you match the two, you can go shopping in Tokyo. It is.
Many people say that they will get lost in the subway station, because there are a lot of entrances and exits in the subway station in Tokyo, and there are many routes to transfer. It is not wrong to follow the signs step by step.
You can buy a pass on all major travel websites before you leave. There are ticket counters at Haneda and Narita Airports on arrival, which is very convenient.
When you are not sitting in JR, you can buy tickets directly. There are vending machines. You can buy tickets, banknotes and coins according to the station number above. When I went from Ikebukuro to Haneda Airport, I changed to JR, and spent a total of 750 yen.
You can also choose the Limousine Airport bus. There are one-way, two-way and package tickets for sale with the subway ticket. From the airport to the city, you can make an appointment by the staff at the counter. When you return to the airport, you can make an appointment for the hotel. .
Network problems are easy to solve
Going out the phone is not convenient. If the subway is covered with wifi, we want the network to be 24 hours a day. If you do not buy a traffic card or rent wifi in advance, it is recommended to directly open the mobile roaming package service, super convenient, save the trouble of changing cards, the price is about 10 yuan per day, it is worthy of Amway.
Change money
Many places in Tokyo can be swiped, but it is better to change some yen before departure. You dont have to change too much, so you can buy souvenirs in some small shops.
The detailed itinerary will be written in the travel notes, and will continue to be updated...

One of the things that must be done when traveling to Tokyo is of course to buy and buy. Tokyo Station is especially suitable for the first time to come to Tokyo, and it is also suitable for lazy people who do not want to run around. "Tokyo Station One Street" is connected to the Yaesu Chuo Exit of Tokyo Station. If you exit from Tokyo Station, you can find this exit. If you are strolling from the ground, you will go straight to the center of Yaesu.
Get the floor guide first to see what stores are available for shopping. I found this street to be a paradise for food. There is also a Tokyo Okashi Land dedicated to selling desserts and snacks. There is a "Sheng Yong Wonderful Snack House". The girlfriend who settled in Tokyo usually likes to come to this place to buy a snack. It has been Amway many times. This time, I can go shopping with her~~
Tokyo Dessert Park There are 4 stores, one of which is the Morinaga Wonderful Snack House Tokyo Station. There are only two stores in Japan such as Morinaga, and Tokyo is the only one! The decoration of the whole store is very cute, and the children and friends are not able to pass the legs! "MORINAGA Morinaga" is one of the oldest Western candy brands in Japan with a history of more than 100 years. Even if you have not heard of its name, you must have eaten or seen his "Hi Chew" , , , , , , , , One of the resident snacks at the domestic supermarket checkout counter!
This snack house is a true Senyong snack paradise. You can buy snacks from Morinaga.

At Tokyo station I found Chip n Dale shop sells all kings of dessert snack like biscuit. I love it so much !! Since my childhood I love Chip n Dale because I saw them in Disneyland Japan 18 years ago. That trip was with my mom and sister. Even though we don’t enjoy much there but I love some character came to us and take pictures and even hugged me as well. Happy Disneyland time and today I am back to them

Tokyo station will light up at night, it was so beautiful. The building also build more than 100years ago. It is a place you must visit. There is also a lot of shop in the underground and shopping mall around Tokyo station.

Life in Japan: Superb Sea Bream Ramen + Wan Nace White Cafe 🪽
I, who usually don't like or eat ramen much... Even during trips to Japan, I never really preferred ramen.....! But I really enjoyed this Japanese ramen place...🍜
First of all, the broth is not greasy but clean and savory itself, and the few slices of sea bream on top were amazing....! I think about this sea bream ramen even after returning to Korea.. If I go back to Japan, it's definitely a must-eat restaurant....🫶🏻

Great Teppanyaki restaurant at Tokyo Station
#japantrip
Teppanyaki is one of the very scumptious gourmet meal in Japan. The main ingredients used is A5 Wagyu, abalone, lobster and seasonal fish and vegetables. This restaurant situated opposite of Tokyo Station called Ten Honmaru serves very exquisite Teppanyaki. With a nine course meal available, I chose a lobster and Wagyu course meal, and the meal is very nice and delightful in which the freshest ingredients were used and the chef prepares the dishes in a very fine and delicate manner. There is also a very nice view of Tokyo Station outside the restaurant for diners to enjoy. I will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Tokyo Station | A Benchmark of Urban Architecture
Tokyo Station is hailed as Tokyo's 'front entrance' and is located in the heart of the Marunouchi business district in Chiyoda Ward. It is a complex station with platforms on two levels. It is not only the most important starting station for Japan's nationwide Shinkansen network (except for the Kyushu Shinkansen), but also the starting point for major Japanese railway lines such as the Tokaido Main Line, the Chuo Main Line, and the Tohoku Main Line. From here, direct access is available to 32 prefectures, with about 3,000 train services departing daily, making it one of Japan's most representative main railway stations.
If you visit Tokyo, you will almost certainly pass through Tokyo Station. You will see many old Western-style buildings. It has the largest number of platforms in all of Japan and is an important gateway to Tokyo.
The Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station was designed by Tatsuno Kingo, an architect from the Meiji era, as a Western-style brick building. It was completed and opened in 1914 and is a must-visit attraction for tourists. It has three entrances and exits: Marunouchi, Yaesu, and Nihonbashi, and is one of the earliest station buildings to be used. Especially at night, when the lights are on, the combination of this century-old building with modern skyscrapers gives a sense of traveling through time and is very dreamy.

In Tokyo, how can there be such beautiful desserts in the world!
I can hardly believe it! Come share your Japan travel + food and fun guide 🚥, continuously updated~
--------------------------------
For friends going to Tokyo, Japan✅ I highly recommend that you visit "Tokyo Station"!
Don't be mistaken, it's not just an ordinary subway station🚇, it's actually a large comprehensive station, divided into four areas: east, south, west, and north. (You need to swipe a card to enter. Also, if you take the Shinkansen to other cities, you will depart from this station)
🌟 Inside this subway station, there are many specialty stalls, like NY Perfect Cheese, Tokyo Banana Cake Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory, all of which are must-try delicious specialties!
🌟 And there are also many dessert stalls, all the desserts look so pretty😻, even if you don't buy, just looking will make you happy! Because they are really beautiful!
🌟 Of course, there are also many restaurants (ramen shops, sushi shops), as well as stationery stores and boutiques, where you can enjoy shopping and strolling.
But be aware⚠️, the prices there are not cheap at all❌, comparable to those in New York.
If you are looking for a certain product or dessert🍧, you don't need to leave a message asking me where it is, because the place is too big, and I myself can't tell east from west, north from south, and I get dizzy turning around.
⚠️ When I went to buy specialties myself, I also just randomly asked a shop assistant, and he gave me directions✅. So don't worry, the shop assistants are very enthusiastic, and you can ask them for information!

Ultimate Guide to the Tokyo-Osaka Shinkansen
Ultimate Guide to the Tokyo-Osaka Shinkansen️
Taking the Shinkansen in Japan, it's one of the most convenient and fastest ways to travel from Tokyo to Osaka. Here are some basic strategies:
'Ticket Purchase' Airports: You can buy Shinkansen tickets at the travel service centers in major Japanese airports.
Online Booking: You can also choose to purchase Shinkansen tickets online in advance.
Station Ticket Purchase: Tickets and seat reservations can also be bought at ticket windows or vending machines at various Shinkansen stations (such as Tokyo Station, Ueno Station, etc.).
'Fare' Approximately 14,000 yen (about 800 yuan), this is just a reference price, the price for specific times may vary, so be sure to verify when purchasing your ticket!
'Service' The Shinkansen you need to take from Tokyo to Osaka is the 'Tokaido Shinkansen'. You can choose 'the fastest Shinkansen train, the 'Shinkansen Nozomi' or Hikari and Kodama.
Nozomi trains are not included in the Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass), passengers with a JR Pass need to take other trains.
'Travel Time'
The Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka can cover 500 kilometers in 2.5 to 3 hours, greatly saving your travel time.
'Stations' The Shinkansen starts from Tokyo Station and the last stop is Shin-Osaka Station. Shin-Osaka Station is connected to the Osaka city's main subway line, the Midosuji Line, which is convenient for transferring to different parts of the city.
This is a very efficient and comfortable way to travel, giving you more time to enjoy the Japanese scenery and experience the culture!
️Note! There may also be some emergency situations, such as weather, mechanical failures, etc., that may affect the operation of the Shinkansen. Therefore, it is recommended that daily travelers or travelers with infants plan their itinerary and timing in advance.

Tokyo Station Marunouchi Exit, where Tokyo's new meets old
Tokyo Station is a renowned transportation hub in Japan. Located on the Marunouchi side, the Marunouchi building, constructed with red bricks, is one of Tokyo's landmarks. Its red-brick facade contrasts with the surrounding high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete and glass, giving it a distinctive character.
·
Recommended photo spot:
Not the building that comes out of the Marunouchi South Exit, 'kitte', as that only shows the side of the station, which is not as appealing.
It is recommended to go to the Marunouchi North Exit, and take photos from the building right across, the 'Shin-Marunouchi Building'.

Red Brick Building - Tokyo Station
⛩️ Tokyo Station Marunouchi Entrance
❤️ Tokyo Station is not only the busiest transportation hub in Tokyo, but its architecture is also a national important cultural property. Designed and built by Kingo Tatsuno in 1914, it is a unique European-style building made of red bricks.
❤️ 'KITTE' is a shopping mall that was renovated from the old Japan Central Post Office. In fact, the name KITTE is related to the post office, deriving from a combination of the Japanese words for 'stamp' (切手) and 'come' (来て).
❤️ On the sixth floor's rooftop garden 'KITTE Garden', from the entrance of the garden, you can see skyscrapers and the blue sky. Here, you can find a spot where Tokyo Station is visible. Although you can't appreciate it from the front, Tokyo Station, surrounded by tall buildings, is very charming, resembling a model.

Tokyo Awesome Trip
It was an unforgettable trip with my tein brother and his family who came all the way from Bahrain to get together! We enjoyed exploring Tokyo and spending time together! We went to TeamLab Borderless and I must say that I am stunned! We also went to Odaiba and saw Gundam. I recommend you going there at night. I was astonished how Japanese made this huge robot. I would come back in April and tour my sister and cousin. It was an incredible and awesome experience for us! #Tokyo #東京 #Travel #Familybond #freehotelstay

Beautiful Tokyo Station
Tokyo Station, with a history dating back to the opening of Japan's railways in Meiji 5 (1872), has prospered since being renamed 'Tokyo Station' in 1914. It has been designated as an important cultural property of the country. The highlights include the red brick station building and the dome-shaped ceiling at the Marunouchi entrance. In particular, my recommendation is the ceiling restored to its original state at the time of construction. The sculptures of eight of the twelve zodiac animals and the eagle reliefs are incredibly cool. While it is a station that serves as a transit point for travelers, it is also recommended for sightseeing.
