The first thing that came up my mind is this.
Tokyo have 108 different train companies. Companies not line, NOT LINE. Which means each companies have its own countless lines too. I'm sure the map for the Tokyo train lines are just for fun and totally not for reference.
We reached in the afternoon and took the NEX train from the airport to Shinjuku.
When we reached Shinjuku it was the time when everyone was going home from work, the stations were full of people and we were like two small dots with luggage larger than us, trying our best to squeeze through the crowds and get on the train, just wishing to reach our accomodation as soon as possible.
We then changed another line from Shinjuku to a station called Chitose-Karasuyama which is not far from Shinjuku. It was raining that time, and although it's not late, but the sky turned dark quite early. We were so tired, draining in rain, still we need to carry our luggage and walk for almost 15minutes to the place we stay.
We put our things, changed and cleaned up a while, then headed out to Shinjuku for dinner. We wanted to try the Ichiran ramen but the queue was too long we needa wait an hour until our turn. So we decided to just go to a random restaurant. That night we had monjyayaki and okonomiyaki for dinner.
After dinner, although it's just about 11pm, but the shops here in Japan closed quite early. Since we had no where to go, we decided just to go home and have a good rest before the next day. We stopped at a conbini to buy some snacks, icecream and breakfast for the next day before heading home.
Although the way back home looks quite scary, but it felt so safe here!
We were so tired and the rain spoiled our mood a bit, but it still felt so unreal! WE ARE IN JAPAN!!! It's our dream to be here since we were young, it felt like heaven walking to the streets that used to be in dramas and anime, I can't contain my excitement and kept telling Zoe "I'm in heaven!" LOL
