Japan 2015 : Part 1 of 7 | Asakusa : Akihabara : Tokyo Skytree

previously from HERE

As my MAS flight started from Singapore, I as well need to transit here and there. So freaking messy but that’s the only choice that I had that time. On the day of 11th of April, took taxi from my home to KL Sentral, then Skybus to KLIA2.

Arrived in Changi Airport at 03:40pm with AirAsia flight AK 715, and meet my friend Adit, there. Together we checked-in for MAS flight, and flew with MH 610 for transit in KL. Sharp at 11:30pm, boarded the MH 88 and off we go to Tokyo.


Day 1 : April 12th, 2015

At 07:20am, landed in Narita Airport Terminal 2. Quickly disembark the aircraft and proceed to immigration. Unfortunately, there were about 4 or 5 flights arrived at the same time from all over continent, so that process took almost hour and a half queuing.

Proceed to Narita train station, bought the Tokyo Subway Ticket for 3-days (Toei & Metro Line) and also personal SuICa prepaid card for other usage. Actually after a lot of studies, did not apply the JR Pass as it will cost more after all calculations.

Ride the train to Kuramae Station, and walk to our hotel, Kuramae Hotel in Kuramae, Asakusa. As it was still early about 10:30am, left our big backpack at the concierge as the check-in process can only be done after 03:00pm.

Went to Asakusa, with only 1 subway station ahead, and sight-seeing the area.

After came out from the Kaminarimon Gate, went to the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Apparently the road circling the East Garden was closed to any motor vehicle on Sunday, only bicycles were allowed to encourage citizens to exercise with family and friends.

Only cyclist are allowed








































Done with the Imperial Palace East Garden tour (I did not see any castle or palace here, hahahahahahha), straight away went to Akihabara area.
