Tokyo, 2nd day...

some more Tokyo pictures...






Ramen - tasty chinese nudel soup...very popular in japan




Tokyo Tower (333m high...ever 9 meters higher than the original^^)









(15.07)

Tokyo Imperial Palace

that`s one of the entrys to the palace. Although you can`t enter, because the emperial family is still living there, it`s kind of nice to see the garden & walls, etc... around the palace.
And this in the middle of Tokyo, the city of the gardens with concrete for green & buildings for trees...^^

(19.07 - it was really fu$%ing hot, and these humidity is getting you down...)

finally after around 12 h of flying over the clouds...TOKYO !!!



with the train from Narita Airport to Asakusa



looking for a hostel to stay over the night, but it was already around 10:30pm...so almost everything was closed...luckily I bought the Lonely Planet Japan Guide Book at Muc`s airport, so I knew a few adresses to look for...
finally found a place to stay -> Capsule Hotel :DD





wasn`t too bad, just my jetlag kept playing with me... :/



woke up around 4:30am and couldn`t sleep any more (damn jetlag), so I headed up to the 9th floor (I was staying on the 5th), because on this top floor was the ofuro (hot bath) & a nice view over the nearby river & the buildings.









yeah, this was pretty much the arrival, the first night & early morning...

see ya later
