Tokyo Night Views by Ang Dakilang Lakwatsera on Nov 18, 2009Tokyo is one of my favorite cities in Japan. It's clean, safe and full of energy. Just like other big Japanese cities, it may seem dull during the day. But when the sun sets, the whole city transforms into a sea of lights filled with neons competing...

An evening in Tokyo by Travel Japan Blog on Nov 11, 2009On a recent, extremely clear sky day, after rain and wind, I went to the top of Shinjuku to watch the sun set. It was marvelous.

Tankar om Tokyo by Travelaid on Sep 26, 2009Ibland kallas Japan för gudarnas ö. Epitetet är passande. Jag tänker ofta på hur bisarrt utsatt befolkningen är i Japan. Japanerna får ta emot 40 tyfoner per år. De får leva med vulkanutbrott, och med konsekvenserna av jordbävningar till ha...

Eating in Shinjuku (at night) by Travel Japan Blog on Sep 24, 2009You will not have a hard time finding a place to eat in Shinjuku at night.
