Since Fatin had already written some of the tips in her blog I'm not sure what else to write here.Frankly if anyone were to ask me if it's a good idea to go to japan without following tour, I won't know what to answer. The reason that we didn't take tour is because we wanted to go to places that we want to at our own pace. I think most tour groups will bring you to souvenir shops and shrines that you don't really want to go anyway. I knew cause I checked out on some tour group schedules. You can follow our way of not following tours but there are extra things to do beforehand. That brought me to the tips. This would be more or less like fatin's but in my own words:
1) If you don't know japanese language, learn some of it before you go.Some of the basic words that you have to know in japanese are : left, right, station, how much, what, where is, (numbering systems), alone or 2 persons, excuse me,sorry, thank you, please, write it down, etc.Although this might sound funny but it will really help a lot to know.Try to learn how japanese pronounce the english words as well like hotel= hoterru so that at least even when you can't ask in japanese they could still catch some of your words. Japanese are really warm and helpful people so don't worry. As long as you start your sentence with sumimasen they will be ready to listen.Don't start your sentence with excuse me,that might scare them away.Most japanese we met can't speak english much but they really go out of their way to help.There was 1 time we got lost finding oak hotel and when fatin asked someone outside his office, he actually went back inside the office to print the google map to help us find our way.I bought a small phrase book before we go to tokyo but I don't think it's much of a help anyway.
2) Going around-We took subways to everywhere in tokyo.We only took the bus once from airport to hotel on our first day. I can't give much tips in this cause I don't understand the train system myself. I think the train system in tokyo is more confusing than most country and added to that everything is in japanese and you can't ask around much anyway if you can't speak japanese. Firstly it have too much systems and routes and secondly to buy the ticket, you have to know the price to go to the station first.Unfortunately the words on some tokyo subway maps in some stations are in japanese so it's hard.Fortunately,Fatin aka the best travel partner studied the subway systems and record down the stations we have to stop to go to our destinations including the prices months before we go so we didn't got lost.If you think you have the time and determination like fatin to do all that then you can go there without tour.1 day ticket could help you sae a lot if you want to go to many places in 1 day so prepare and optimize your schedule.
3)Prepare all the documents needed before the trip.Print out the hotel booking and flight ticket itineraries before you go cause you would be asked to show them to the officers before boarding your flight to tokyo. Visa would take around 1 week to be prepared so prepare it early.
4) If you decide to go in spring, check the sakura report and compare it with last year's ones.
5)Don't bring so much clothes.I made the mistake of bringing too much clothes and it was hell to drag the luggage on the subway trains and the station stairs.Because I decided that I don't want to buy a new jacket, so I wore 3 layers of clothes during my stay.I wore a long sleeved tshirt,a cardigan, and a jacket as the 3rd layer.The thing is that I brought too much jackets and cardigans.You have the option to wash your clothes in hotel at night when you came back so just bring a string to hang your cloth and hang it in the toilet through the night.Oh and just bring 1 jacket will do.If you still want to bring lots of clothes then I'll say don't change hotels and don't ride the subways cause if not you will really suffer.I was rather lucky that some japanese pakciks decide to help me when they saw me dragging the luggage up the stairs.
6) There are elevators and escalators in some of the stations.Only some small stations don't have them, the rest especially major stations would have them if you look for the signs.Why I'm telling this is so that you could limit your walking distance there.If you were travelling like us,trust me you will do a lot of walking.So much that at the end of your trip you don't have the energy to walk anymore and you might even tore your shoes so try to limit them by taking the escalators.Mind your maners while taking escalator.
7) Wear a super comfy shoes with thick base cause like I said a lot of walking is required.I wore sport shoes that is light and comfy and still my leg hurts every night.
8) Japanese working hours is 9-6pm so try to avoid getting on trains from 8-9am.We get on once cause I thought that japanese work from 8-5pm and I almost die from suffocation.Another thing is that,if you don't understand the language just follow what others do.There are some trains that don't go till the last station so at some point you could be asked to clear the train.So when everyone got out,follow them and when noone get on, don't get on.
9) This has already been noted in entries before this but don't try to cook rice in tokyo hotels.The voltage is too low to do so.You can always buy cooked rice from yoshinoya or similar cheap restaurants.If I'm not mistaken,it's only sold around 70 to 80 yen which is still cheap.
10) Check weather report when watching news.Somehow the weather report in japan is more accurate than in malaysia so you could trust them.I mentioned that I bought an expensive umbrella there but the umbrella sold there is quite unique so it's not a waste anyway.
11)Souvenirs sold in narita is cheaper than some souvenir shops out in tokyo.So, you can opt to just buy them in the airport on the day of return. For disney items, you can buy cheap ones at odaiba if you want to.
12) I can't give much tips about food.If you are a nonmuslim then it's easy.There's a lot of yoshinoya around for cheap food and even the convinience store food look really yummy.The food sold in kombini is usually around 100yen++ and you can get a meal in yoshinoya for only 270yen.I hafal the prices because it kept coming in the news.If you are a muslim, there are also a lot of kebab shops and turkish restaurants around in the city.You just need to keep your eyes open.Otherwise you could opt like us bringing canned food and eat them with bread.You could have picnic in the parks while sakura watching.Trust me,it's a lovely experience.
13)You can find cheaper flight tickets if you booked earlier.Like us, we traveled to singapore then took the delta airline to tokyo.A lot of work yes, but it saved us a lot of money.
14) Even though you go at your own pace,please sacrifice some sleep, do go out early from hotel so that you could go to more places cause there are so much things to explore.In short, be disciplined.
This is all I can think of at the moment.
Honestly, I am really glad I went on this trip.Yes, it caused a lot of money and preparations but I really had fun in the trip. Months before the trip felt quicker because I look forward on the trip so much and the trip itself is so enjoyable. Now, my days had become slow and mundane again, After I came back home, I got busier at work and things at home itself doesn't go right so I am really stressed nowadays but when I think back on the tokyo trip, it somehow makes me happy again.In some ways, it's kinda like an anesthetic for me. I hope fatin had fun too cause I was the one who suggested the trip. I remembered we plan to go on the trip last year during the pantai kerachut's hike.Even at that point I doubt that we will make the trip and we really do it in the end.Fatin's preparation for this trip is even more extensive than mine that at 1 point I even think she can make a thesis or a travel book before even getting there. Her itinerary is so perfect.If I could go to tokyo again I want to go to harajuku to eat the crepe, go to disneyland on sunny day to eat churios and to get on as much rides as possible, to harajuku park to see the cosplay kids and to tokyo tower to listen to the band while seeing the night scenery.Oh how I wish.End.

Tokyo Trip: Day 10 9/4/10
Last day in tokyo. We checked out around 10 am from oak hotel and went to ueno station to take the train to airport.Before that, we bought a turkish kebab for lunch in ueno first. I have too many coins left on the last day so I decided to use them to buy train ticket and kebab.Because fatin was too embarassed that I used too much coins, she ran away when it's my turn to pay -_-. Oh day before that when we were checking out the train schedule, a homeless man approached us. He talked in fluent english and asked us about malaysia. He made some racist comment after that and I started to feel uncomfortable so I kept on siku-ing fatin to walk away.But alas we stayed till he decided to stop. He said he was a writer and a korean. He hated the japanese people and japan which makes me wonder why he was there in the first place. Anyway, I was expecting him to ask for money like the homeless people in malaysia but he didn't.Apparently, he just wants to talk. The homeless people in japan are suprisingly not that dirty. I wonder when they washed up.
Along the way to the airport, I saw the a pizza hut there which is suprising cause I can't see any in tokyo. Ok random.We spent the entire time until our flight buying last minute souvenirs in narita.It's even cheaper than buying outside. At 6.15pm our flight depart.The moment the flight took off, I have already missed japan.I slept along the way, just waking up to eat. At some point I felt like the stars are just outside the window for me to grab. I wonder if I was dreaming at that point.I spilt some salad dressing on me while eating though so I can't wait to get back home to bathe.
We arrive in changi at 1am and since we were in terminal 1,there's not much seats left to sleep before going into the boarding terminal.Fatin manage to sleep anyhow.We ate breakfast before boarding the plane.Although I miss malaysia while in tokyo because of the warmth but being in malaysia itself for the first few days after i return felt especially extra hot. Even until now, I'm more tolerant to coldness. Apparently the coldness in disneyland had already numb some of my senses. I arrive in penang at 8 am the next day so that wraps up my journey there.End.

Tokyo Trip: Day 9 8/4/10
The plan for the day is shopping!!! but before that we went to the edo tokyo museum first. If you planned to go to the museum, try to go early so that you can get 1 of the guide there that can take you around the museum. We got this nice japanese pakcik that can speak english as our guide there.It's really helpful since without him, I don't think I can understand some of the exhibits there. He said that the tour will took approximately 2 hours but I think it's shorter than that. The museum is really impressive. However, I guess because I am from a country that was colonized by the japanese before, when he showed us the pictures and recordings of the hiroshima bombing, although I do symphatized a bit but at the back of my head I still think that if this doesn't happen my country could still be colonized under them.
We ate our sandwich in 1 of the special room there that can be used to eat meals. No food is sold there so you would need to bring your own bento. After that, we head on to nippori, the fabric town.My aunt asked me to buy her some japanese cotton before I go to tokyo so I've already researched on where to go before our trip. I bought cottons for my aunt, my mom and myself. I was really spoilt for choices there cause the prints are really pretty. Then, we went to harajuku. We don't spend much time there. Fatin was looking for shoes before that and cause she accidentally stepped on dog poops she ended up buying 1 in harajuku.
After that, we went to shibuya 101.Since fatin don't want to shop, we seperate our routes. The clothes in shibuya 101 are really trendy but of course it's really really expensive. I still end up buying 2 handbags and a pair of shoes though. I don't know how they do it, but the tokyo girls that shopped in shibuya and the sales girls are really really pretty.It's like they jumped out from magazines with perfect hair, and trendy fashion. Tokyo is really the land of dolls.After shibuya, we went back to ueno and bought some jerseys that we've already scouted day before that. On the way to go back to our hotel, a malaysian guy approached us to ask if we were malaysian and if we know where HRC is.It's really absurd cause throughout our trip, we hardly saw foreigners except in oak hotel let alone malaysian and he's asking us about the place that we went to before that. I think the housekeeping mistakenly took the remote control for heater for our room so we were freezing cold until fatin went to talk to the receptionist. They gave us 1 of their portable heater so saved.
I can't really sleep on that night thinking of going back to malaysia and to reality.All the days in japan is really like a dream to me, a nice long dream where I get to leave all the stressful things behind.It's like the entire japan is my disneyland but I have to go back at some point anyway.End.

Tokyo Trip : Day 8 7/4/10
This day, we had to check out from Hilton hotel.It's really hard leaving disney resort cause I had so much fun and it's such a magical place,I felt like I'm allowed to be a kid again while I'm there. It's equally hard leaving the big room, the soft bed and the nice service of hilton hotel. I asked for iron day before that from the housekeeping and it's so hard to use when I can't even understand the words on the iron. We checked out from the hotel around 10 am and head on to ueno for our next hotel, oak hotel. Honestly, the room in oak hotel is the smallest hotel room I've ever been in my life. It only have 2 hangers,1 for each of us. Unlike the hotels before this, I don't bother asking for iron cause there's no space to put it anyway. Because we just checked out from the huge hilton hotel room, I got a little bit of shock there. But, it's still comfy and clean nontheless.It's a good hotel for backpackers cause it's quite cheap for japan standard and it even provided free internet with some pc available in the lobby for anyone to use.Of course, it doesn't have automatic warm toilet seat like the previous hotels.
We left our baggage and went out to ueno park.The distance is not that far from our hotel, around 500m and because it's cold it's possible to walk there.We went to 1 of the art museum there first which have really nice view. We even made some postcards there using the stamps.A few days before that I think on our second day, fatin's mom checked the sakura report and told fatin that the sakura trees in ueno park were already in full bloom which is bad news for us.Sakura tree only bloom for 4 days if I'm not mistaken and after that the petals will fall. I was ready to expect to see only bald sakura trees but I guess we were really lucky, there were still lots of sakura trees in full bloom.Similar to other park,there were a lot of people having picnic in the evening.We saw a group of serious salarymen as well as a group of people in flower costume having picnic there.By that time, I've already embrace the weirdness of japan that even the group of people in flower disguise don't suprise me anymore.
After that,we came back to hotel.I was thinking the day before that on what to buy for my dad and bro.I remembered that my dad love collecting Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts so we thought of going to roponggi's HRC the next day.We use 1 of the pc in hotel to google for the location and accidentally found out there's another HRC in ueno station.Since we don't have any plan for the night,we went out to search for it.There's actually 1 station between our hotel and ueno station bur since it's cold, we just walked there and frankly we don't really feel the distance.It's actually a 40 minutes journey to go there if we walk fast. I bought t-shirts for both my dad and bro and even get a matching t-shirt with fatin.Lots of japanese girls seems to love dressing alike so it won't look weird if we wear the same t-shirt anyway.The journey back to hotel seems shorter cause I was happy with the purchase.The salesgirl attending us is quite pretty too.Ok random.End.

Tokyo Trip: Day 7 6/4/2010
This day is the Disneysea day.We woke up to a really nice weather.It was bright,shiny and warm in contrast to the mind numbing coldness day before that.We planned out a mission night before to get as many fast passes as possible and it made us into such competitive mode till at 1 point I felt that we were in amazing race.Our strategy is to take rides that cannot seat many people at 1 time which means that the queuing time will be longer.At the fast pass,it will be written the time frame that allow you to take the ride and the time for you to take the next fast pass so you have to keep that in check.In the end after much strategies, we only got 2 fast passes but manage to ride on all the fast pass rides.The park is seriously big, my feet hurts from all the walking. People said that Disneysea is a must go destination since it is only available in tokyo and I'm glad we did. Some of the differences I noted between disneyland and disneysea:
1) There are more adult rides here so there were more adults while disneyland rides mostly caters to children.
2) Not as many people wearing the disney characters headbands/ hair clip.
3) The staff here are not as cheerful and chirpy as the Disneyland's one.Seriously, the staff in disneyland are so happy and cheerful, it's hard to be gloomy there even when the weather is bad.
4) The queue move quicker that the rides in disneyland cause most rides seat many people at 1 time.
5) They have more staffs that can understand english.
There are many rides that I like, tower of terror, 20000 leagues under the sea and even the 3d aladin show in japanese. But my most favourite is journey to the center of the earth.I think the ride is even scarier than solero shot cause it will start off dark along the way until 1 point at the peak it will open up like a door for us to see the view from the peak and wooshh plummets down after that.It's been a while that I've been on rides that resulted with my knee feeling shaky and feeling I've left my heart behind.
Our lunch is another story. Guess what we had for lunch? Uncooked rice and sardine....mmm yummy (blue face). Ok what happened was I brought a small hotplate used for travels to tokyo.This hotplate can be used to reheat the food we brought and cook rice.But, what my mom missed to tell me when she asked me to bring the hotplate over is that the electric voltage in japan is only 200v.The thing is that the voltage for hotels are even much lower: 150v which makes it quite impossible to cook even 1 cup of rice.I kept on adding water to the rice cause I thought the reason it can't cook is because I didn't put enough water. This resulted to some of the cooked rice turned into porridge texture and some rice remain uncooked. I tried to cook the rice until 1 or 2 am and gave up in the end. The next day we thought we could bring the rice to disneysea and since the uncooked portion don't look much , we could still eat the rice and just spit out those uncooked ones.We were wrong.1 spoon of rice in my mouth and I aleady felt like throwing up.It is that disgusting.But fatin is so gung ho,she finished half of her rice portion.If you actually taste the rice,what fatin did can be considered a feat.She seriously can join amazing race cause like fatin said even if we feed this to the birds,they won't want to eat it and here she is eating half of the portion.The after effect though is quite bad,I can't eat any nasi lembik or porridge until now or I would queasy.Fatin on the other hand can't eat or smell sardine after that cause it reminds her of the rice. So next time I go there, I guess I'll just eat the churios or the popcorn. Anyway I really had fun there and if I could I want to go back there 1 day.End.

Tokyo Trip : Day 6 5/4/2010
This day is the disneyland day.We have already informed the receptionist the day before that we will check out of hotel early that day.So, we woke up around 6am, have breakfast and checked out by 7am.We have to check out early to make full use of the day.When we got out from hotel,it was raining so we have to purchase an umbrella from the hotel (1000yen for one), probably the most expensive umbrella I have ever bought.It was really really cold as in 1 step out from hotel, "smoke" came out from our mouth when we spoke or breathe.The subway was quite empty cause working hour traffic haven't started yet.From shinjuku, we took JR line to Maihama to get to Tokyo Disney Resort.Then, we got our tickets that fatin booked earlier from the welcome centre and head to Hilton hotel where we stayed for 2 nights.We have already paid for the hotel months before coming to tokyo.We left our baggage and went straight to Disneyland.One thing I found weird is that the day we were there is a monday, a working day and it's not the school holiday season, still there were thousands of people there and most people there were Japanese,not much foreigners.The place was packed even though it rained quite heavily.At that time I was still praying that the rain would stop but it didn't.It continued raining till almost night time.To be honest, my memory of Disneyland now are mostly filled with rain and coldness.Because I can't think straight on that day cause of the chill, my memory of it is quite vague now. I really think the weather on that day was less than 10 degreees cause the days before that during our stay in tokyo,we somehow got used to the 10degrees temperature weather and in Disneyland it's 2 times colder than other days.Still, I was in Disneyland and I still think it was such a dreamy place.We manage to rode on Haunted Mansion,It's a Small World,Space Mountain,Big Thunder Mountain, Pooh Honey Bear and watch some shows.Some of the rides and parades were closed though because of the rain. The queue were really long for each rides.I told Fatin that I don't want to rode on Splash Mountain cause I think I'll get sick if I get wet.In the end, even fatin didn't get on the ride.Seriously, it was really cold that some of the videos I took of the parades were shaky cause I was trembling so much, I can't hold the videocam properly.The only downside for foreigners I guess of Tokyo Disneyland is that everything is in japanese.So, when we went inside haunted mansion it's impossible to get scared cause we can't understand a word of the narration. As I have never went to other disneyland before this,I can't compare much but Fatin said this disneyland was better then the HK ones.For cheap souvenors in Disneyland, we can buy medallion from the machines at every souvenir shop there for 100yen and Fatin went crazy over them.
One thing good of the rain is that I get to use my gloves.I brought a pair of gloves to Tokyo but was too shy to wear them in the city cause knowing me,I brought bright red ones but because my hands were too numb there.I don't care about the colour and just wore them.We saw some school kids that I supected ponteng sekolah to go to disneyland cause they were still in their school uniforms and they don't even look cold.Just so you know, some of the Japanese school uniform is really short but these kinds don't look bothered at all. It's so obvious that I'm from a tropical country.
When we got back to hotel, I attempted to cook rice for dinner which turn into something disastrous which I will tell in the next post.Needless to say,we only ate maggie for dinner.Most delicious maggie I ever tasted cause we only ate 2 pieces of bread for lunch and it was freezing cold so we were so hungry.But the process of cooking rice was so funny added with our jakun-ness of the hilton hotel (excuse us,the hotel that we stayed before that was really small), I had stomach cramp the next day cause I laughed too much.Now that I'm back in malaysia, I really really want to go to Disneyland again. Rain or shine, it's still a magical place to be in. Now I understand why the japanese love it so much.End.

When we got back to hotel, I attempted to cook rice for dinner which turn into something disastrous which I will tell in the next post.Needless to say,we only ate maggie for dinner.Most delicious maggie I ever tasted cause we only ate 2 pieces of bread for lunch and it was freezing cold so we were so hungry.But the process of cooking rice was so funny added with our jakun-ness of the hilton hotel (excuse us,the hotel that we stayed before that was really small), I had stomach cramp the next day cause I laughed too much.Now that I'm back in malaysia, I really really want to go to Disneyland again. Rain or shine, it's still a magical place to be in. Now I understand why the japanese love it so much.End.
