Nightmare Metropolis
Tokyo is a nightmare. I’ve never been anywhere like it. It is complete chaos. We spent our first hour here getting lost in Tokyo train station. The place is massive. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see much of Tokyo itself. It was raining most of the day. We went up Tokyo tower, but you couldn’t see very far because all of the fog. We went to Shibuya and Ginza and had a wander around the shops too. Ended up buying loads of silly t-shirts in Uni Qlo, and that was about it. We had to head back to the airport before 8pm because that’s when they stop the trains to the airport, and the airport is actually an hour away in a different city.
I don’t think I’ll be going back to Tokyo again in a hurry. It’s too modern and chaotic. I think I would find Kyoto more interesting.
