I visited Tokyo for 4 days on New Year’s holiday. It was my
first time visited Tokyo so I was confused about many things. XDD In this post
I just want to share some info hopefully it’s useful for you who debut travelling
to Tokyo with low budget. But… since I
come from Osaka, so… maybe it’ll be a bit different if you coming from abroad.
Transportation
Osaka – Tokyo : Night Bus
The price is changing depend on the season but ￥4500 is the reasonable price on high season. It’s standard
or you can call it economy class but they lend you a blanket. 8 hours sitting
on the bus was not comfortable though.
Tokyo : JR or subway
If you want to go around the city I suggest you to buy one
day pass ticket. Tokyo is really big so there are so many kinds of ticket. It’s
a little bit confusing so you have to manage your plan for one day so you can
buy the best ticket you could use. You can find the detail here.
1. 1. Tokyo Furi Kippu
It’s the most convenient ticket I think
since train station at Tokyo is very confusing. You can buy it at JR or subway
ticket machine. With this ticket you can use many lines include JR and subway.
Things you need to aware :
If you want to go to Odaiba, you can’t use
this ticket. You have to buy ticket with Yurikamome Line. But if you want to
enjoy the city by bus, since this ticket accommodates Toei Bus, you can get on
the bus in every direction. You can go
to Odaiba by bus but it takes 40 minutes to get there.
There’s distance limit for JR. You can’t
reach Tokyo Disney Land with this ticket since it’s located at Chiba.
2. 2. Tokunai Pass
This ticket can be used for JR only. If you
want to visit famous place only like Shibuya, Ueno, Akihabara and others, I recommend
you to use this. Basically those places are on Yamanote Line (the famous line)
^^
But if you want to go to places like Diet
Building, Tokyo Tower or Sky Tree I don’t recommend you to buy this ticket
since the station is quiet far.
3.
3. Metro Pass
You should by this ticket at Metro ticket
machine only. Using subway is the best way to visit many places in the city.
The distance between one station to another is not really far and it’s close
from many places such as National Stadium. But if you have to change the train you need to walk for hundred meters. >.<
I didn’t know about this ticket before so I
used JR pass and it brought me walking in a long distance. >.<
Accommodations
Staying at a guest house is the best way I think. I recommend Khaosan though you have to share room for the best price.
The last option is Net Café. My recommend is a net café called
Manboo at Shibuya. They have woman only booth and we can use shower for free.
One night pack also includes free drink. They facilitate you with television,
comics, and also DVD player. Moreover, you can charge your mobile phone or
camera for free. The price is friendly but you need to manage your time
properly. Don’t forget to calculate your shower time because there’s the time you
need to wait for your turn.
Souvenirs
Tokyo Banana is the most famous souvenir from Tokyo. You can
find it at Tokyo station and the price is same in every shop.
Note : Don't expect a firework festival on New Year Eve in Japan~ XDD
That’s all for the info I could share.
I can’t share the recommend destination since everyone has
different style and purpose for having vacation at Tokyo. ^^
Next I’ll write about Arashi’s spot! ^____^
