Shinjuku - Station is the world's busiest railway station, handling more than two million passengers every day. It is served by about a dozen railway and subway lines, including the JR Yamanote Line. Shinjuku is also one of Tokyo's major stops for long-distance highway buses.
whole day sight seeing in Shinjuku |
Booked in Asakusa Yadoya Hostel
-We realized Saitama a bit further as it will take us more than 45 mins to travel as it wa very very cheap not not too close to Tokyo. So was a good thing we didn’t book the whole week in Saitama so the last day we headed to asakusa for hostel checkin.

Shibuya - is one of Tokyo's main hubs. It's a seething frenzy of shopping, dining and drinking. This is where to come to experience Tokyo in all its glory
It would be a shame to come to Tokyo and not take a walk across the famous intersection outside Shibuya Station –Shibuya Crossing (best time to go there when its very busy after office hours like 7 pm to 9pm, this is when you wanted to do a timelapse as its crowded, as for us we spent 4 hrs doing timelapse or taking hyperlapse or videoing with the crowded shibuya crossing as this wouldnt be fun if its not crowded)
You can only find the famous dog Hachiko near the shibuya crossing
Hachiko - was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ådate, Akita Prefecture, Japan. He is remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following his death.

Back to Shinjuku, where we had our last night
We headed to Izakaya - is a type of informal Japanese pub. They are casual places for after-work drinking. They have been compared to Irish pubs, tapas bars and early American saloons and taverns

- for food, its pretty cheap there very authentic, Japan is my fave place to eat - you can get ramen plus fried rice for 25 RM only 300 PHP

Take note. do not buy pasalubong(souvenirs or things to get from that country) at the airport its expensive - i know everyone of you knows about this but there are some airports where you can buy pasalubong which is very cheap or just not really expensive but Japan airports are not one of them.
