First of all bawa phrasebook! They rarely stops kalo diajak ngomong bahasa inggris. Jadi walopun abis itu loe bakal nanya things in English, stop them by saying 'Sumimasen' dan sejenisnya. Kalau di Tokyo sign2nya dah lumayan bersahabat sih jadi agak aman, suka ada bahasa inggrisnya ato paling gak pake romaji (huruf romawi) jadi kita bisa baca. Tapi if you're going outside Tokyo, katanya not that easy.
For me, i like museums and they have quite a few yang interesting. Daripada naik Tokyo Tower, I'd visit Mori Museum at the top of Mori Tower di daerah Roppongi. Mori Tower is a lot taller than Tokyo one + they have a 360 degree deck gitu diatas. Bisa liat the whole Tokyo from above. The museum shop juga lucu2.
Definitely check out the net ttg lagi ada festival apa during your visit. Mereka banyak acara2 public gitu kok dan selalu PENUH orang hehehe. Tapi seruuuu...
Harus ke Harajuku or Tokyo Dome in the weekends to meet with the Cosplay people (yang suka dress up sebagai karakter komik). Gue sih waktu itu minta ikut foto bareng mereka. Mereka juga demen kalo kita mau foto mereka, ngomong aja sama mereka nanti mereka dengan senang hati bergaya for the camera.
For travelling within Tokyo sih gue waktu itu beli PASMO card namanya. Belinya di underground stations. Kartunya bisa isi ulang to use for subway traveling.
Gue sih waktu itu tiap hari makan Jepang, trying all different types hehehe Gak mau rugi ;p Oh, pastiin coba Izakaya yah. Izakaya itu restoran tempat orang2 jepang kumpul2 abis pulang kantor. Biasanya pada suka minum2 bir + makanannya kecil2 gitu tapi enak2!
Ginza, Roponggi, Shinjuku, Harajuku & Shibuya are exciting untuk liat the different kind of area blanja orang Jepang. Shibuya juga seru kalo weekend malem2. Banyak anak2 muda nongkrong and hang outnya disini.
Disneyland ya udah pasti lah yaaa... Tapi kalo ada waktu if you like scary rides you have to try ke FujiQ Highlands. The tallest roller coaster and the one with most rotation in the world ada disini!!
Oia, check out Odaiba. Apparently is the next development area in Tokyo. I didn't get a chance to go, tapi katanya bagus.
Wah banyak laaaannn hehehehe... Pokoknya siapin kamera everyday :) You'll absolutely love it....
