I never believed in going on tours organised by tour agents. We got our air tickets through a travel agent so that it would be cheaper. As for accommodation, we booked it over the Internet prior to our trip. We planned our itinerary after doing some research on our own.

I love your writing style, very informative and helpful. If I ever visit Japan I shall know more than nothing. I was in Paris, and I didn’t know that there is Eifel tower duplicate in Tokyo.

Thank you so much! Keep reading!
Tokyo Tower was built based on the design of Eiffel Tower. The resemblance is there, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a duplicate :)

hey there, yes there are men in Tokyo, especially crowded areas like Shibuya where they would accost you on the street and ask if you wanted to make some good money. Mostly it’s for porn biz or to take photos in sleazy magazines. They tend to approach single gals or gals in small groups like 2s or 3s. Just tell them you don’t speak japanese. :)

  Many foreigners work and live in Japan, so I am sure the country welcomes people from many lands. I speak zero Japanese, too, and had a great time anyways. So don’t let that deter you from going there.

  For these photos, it’s the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50. These days I have upgraded to a Canon :) Both are compact digital cameras.

Nice!! I noticed all your pics have that bright colour contrast and some have glowing effects. Is that just from the camera or do you use a photo editing program to make them look vibrant? Sorry for the questions, but I own a DSLR and I still can’t seem to get my photos to be as bright coloured. Maybe it could be that Japan just has great lighting everywhere? Thanks for your help!
