[GPGT] Tokyo - Uji (Oct 2024)

[paul02]

the ny perfect cheese can get it at airport

no need waste time to queue there

I believe that's only at Haneda, not in Narita which is where I got my flight.

Also, I'm not sure if there'll be stocks before my flight so I feel assured going to the store before it opens instead for better chances.

Went up the Yokohama Landmark Tower, the third tallest building and fifth tallest structure in Japan. It's about 300 meters high.

Skipped the queue to buy tickets (1000YEN) from the counter and got them by the machine instead.

Time to walk towards the Red Brick Warehouse. It's the weekend and there's a beer-fest there which I did not join. Crowds were massive.

Stopped at Lawson's for a quick bite.

Even the way to eat this snack by opening the packaging it comes with is done so well.

Yokohama Oktoberfest!

Walked to the pier, lots of wind and fishermen.

Bait for da fish.

Decided to get Granny Smith Apple Pie & Coffee's Almond Chocolate Apple Pie for 870YEN.

Headed back to Shinjuku around 9:30pm, it was quite the journey.

Got some cheese chips and a beer for dinner while reading about this special Tonkatsu Cyazuke.

Packing my bag for my last day in Japan, here you'll see how everything fits in one bag.

Visited Nakano Broadway, known for figurines and luxury watches (mostly Rolex).

Look at this slanted building.

Brekkie. A sample coffee and cheese tuna sandwhich.

Decided to check out this hyped Japanese Craft Cola, there was already a queue after opening shortly.

You can also buy them through the vending machine.

Tried dreamy and Japan edition (1300YEN in total).

Watch the works!

There you go, one is cinnamon-y and the other is vanilla-lemon-y to me. Not bad.

Went for a night walk after dinner at Hibiya Park.

Went back to hotel and found this nasty little bed bug.

I realised later that my bed had quite a few of them and were feeding on me. Made a complaint and they arranged to change the bedsheets (it didn't help with the situation in the long run). Looking back, I should have asked for refund or a bed change.

It didn't seem to affect others at the hotel though so maybe a previous tourist brought it in.

Hi Paul. Thank you for the posts. It's like joining you on a trip, virtually. Mind share which hotel is this?

Hey kavemio, thanks for joining me virtually! It’s The Global Hotel Tokyo.

If you have any concerns, it is OK to raise them with their staff and ask for another room.

Price for a one way ticket from Ueno to NRT.

Redeemed by return ticket purchased via Klook.

Boeing back to SG!

Got complimentary soft drinks if you're allocated seats in the front of the plane.

My pre-ordered meal for my trip back, this was dinner.

Hand itchy so I decided to buy this snack.

Hoots from Japan.

...and these from reddit's Japan recommends.

Is AirJapan nicer than scoot and zipair?

I will say it’s on par with ZipAir. Can’t compare with Scoot as I haven’t tried.
