Tokyo, part 3

Today is our last full day in Tokyo. The trip has felt really long, probably because we squeezed in so many things, but also it's hard to believe it's almost over.

We got up early to try and make the most of our remaining hours here, starting with a trip on the subway during rush hour. We weren't on the most crowded trains, but the trains are definitely packed and there are staff on the platforms lining everyone up for efficient boarding and alighting when the trains arrive. There were also the designated women's only cars that I've heard about, with several exceptions (primary school boys, men helping disabled women, etc.). It was right next to the car we were in and even though it was just after rush hour, there were several women keeping to the all-women car of the train we were on. Those cars are in effect during morning rush hours and after 11/11:30 until the train stops running for the night.

Another thing we noticed on the way to the station was a crowd of people smoking by a cigarette garbage area - apparently it's illegal to smoke while walking down the street - something you don't notice until you know to look for it - so everyone has to smoke in designated areas. Kind of a nice thing.

We went to check out the fish market, which has moved recently from a more central location in Tokyo to more of the outskirts - to provide space for buildings associated with the Olympics coming next year. Apparently the original fish market was more what I was expecting - a crazed, interactive market that you could walk through. The new market is much more sterile and visitors are only allowed to see the market through tiny windows on the floor above, so it was a bit of a letdown - but the place is huge, so kind of cool to see just the scale of it.

Not far from the fish and produce markets was the TeamLab light experience show - which was, unlike the fish market, was totally interactive. Almost to the point of insanity. It was in an enormous warehouse, and in complete darkness except for the LED light displays in every room, on the ceiling, and on the floor. There was electronic music playing non stop in the entire space. There was no map, no guide, just people everywhere walking around and finding secret rooms with amazing displays. We were there for about 3 hours and managed to see almost everything, minus the lantern display which had an hour wait. If I were to take drugs, this would be a good place to use them, but maybe almost better just to get the experience in an uninfluenced state. It was definitely an amazing display of music, lights, and technology, and I highly recommend it - just eat before you go. We were shells of human beings by the end.

So much that we went to a nearby outlet mall and inhaled Indian food at the food court. Not our best moment. But the food was critical (and actually, pretty delicious).

Rejuvenated, we took the train to Akihabara, a neighborhood famous for electronics. We checked out the Yodobashi Akiba, the craziest electronics store I've ever seen - an entire city block and 9 floors of shopping. Like B&H but on a serious amount of crack. We checked out a few things but the prices weren't amazing so just walked around in awe of the size of this place- which is down the block from a similar store of similar scale. I have no idea how people do so much shopping here.

Then we walked around and found the Super Potato video game store with three floors of all the original gameboys, nintendo, sega, etc. video game systems and actual games. Serious nerd alert was on code red here, but pretty cool to see people getting excited about all this stuff from our childhood.

We took the train to Ueno, yet another neighborhood, and yet another with just street after street of shops. It's really overwhelming how much shopping there is here. We stopped to try and get into a bar and experienced some pretty weird behavior -the bartender basically said were were not allowed in and closed the door behind us. Some places are weird here about foreigners. We found another bar near the train station that worked out and enjoyed sitting for an hour, documenting all the places we've been, stayed at, and eaten at. It was a good recap of the trip, which has been a whirlwind.

Our last stop for the day was at Tokyo Station where we met up with Richard and Nao, two friends of my cycling friend, Scott. We ate at a vegan ramen place in the train station, which was actually quite good. Although it would have been nice to meet these guys at the start of our trip so we could learn things before we explored, it was nice to ask them the questions we have accumulated over the last two weeks and find out more about Japanese culture. Things like:

people work a lot, but since many jobs are guaranteed for life, essentially, they might not work very hard. they are trying to change this culture (sounds like the food coop).

having KFC on Christmas is a really big deal

Women buy men gifts on Valentine's Day

Factories and some offices have daily morning group calesthenics that are done in unison to music played on tape players (!)

people get 10 days of vacation, typically, but most don't even take the vacation that they are allotted. They often bring back gifts to share with the office less as a nice thing, and more as an apology for not being at work.

if they go out past the last train, they often just go to karaoke until the trains start running again because its cheaper to rent a room at a karaoke bar rather than pay for a taxi

We had a nice dinner and got some drinks afterwards, and then called it a night. Really nice guys and another good experience of meeting others while we're on this trip together.

22 Best Family Hotels in Hong Kong From Luxury to Budget

Most of the finest household inns in Hong Kong lists you’ll learn are lacking a vital element. Many Hong Kong lodge insurance policies allow a most of three folks in a lodge room, no matter age, with a couple of exceptions talked about on this listing.

The room restrictions can typically trigger points, so I’ve provided suggestions for selecting rooms and reserving connecting rooms. I’ve additionally highlighted a couple of lodging you might not have thought-about which have enjoyable children’ facilities. These inns are in a wide range of value ranges and areas, together with close to the airport and Hong Kong Disneyland.

Hong Kong is a wonderful household trip vacation spot (sure, there are some challenges with touring there in the meanwhile however they are going to be overcome). It’s also possible to discuss with my Hong Kong journey information primarily based on our expertise from dwelling there (it’s the place my daughter was born) and frequent return visits.

Able to make your reservations? I’ve entry to value-added VIP facilities at many of the Hong Kong luxurious inns on this listing that you simply would not have entry to by yourself.

I’m in an Empire State of mind...

These streets will make you feel brand new, Big lights will inspire you...

In New York...

After a being spoiled in the delta one lounge, with a variety of food and drinks (all inclusive), I met a lady from USA who told me she makes an effort to always turn up early enough to eat the food at the lounge as its the best anywhere... good to know, if I ever get the opportunity to travel business again. The flight was amazing, I kind of described it as 8 hrs of drink eat drink eat. My own private chair/reclining to bed area with plenty of room..ahhh bliss! I was set to arrive at about 9pm New York time, and figured border control would take a long time. Amazingly it didn’t, there was no major queues and I think I was out in about 30 mins tops.

After researching and reading reviews for transport from the airport I opted for the classic New York cab as its a fixed rate, and I couldn’t determine if Ubers could come into the airport pick up area. The last thing you want to be doing later at night is searching for a location in an unknown, busy and huge airport! Suffice to say there was no queue for the cabs so I got straight in one, and headed off to my hotel in the downtown Manhattan area, a few blocks from Times Square - perfect location according to all my NY friends - near enough to everything, but in a spot on the street away from the main noise. Hotels in peak season (summer) in New York are not cheap at all, and when I had researched I ended up with what I can only describe as mid range pricing (for this area), paying the little extra for the area I was in and also including breakfast. It is a perfect spot. The hotel is amazing. I am literally a few doors from the subway, walking distance to Times Square, Rockefeller, Empire State, Central Park. Right in the thick of it! In saying that - its kind of nothing to walk from 32nd street to 50th street here... so pretty much everything could be described as ‘walking distance’.😁

My first day was spent wandering in my local area, checking out the Rockerfeller centre, Empire state, the theatre district, Times Square. I tried Shake shack for lunch ( amazing fries!) Then I was done - the time change hit me a little bit I think! My knee was really sore, I had twisted it somehow and pulled some ligaments I think... so I went off to rest it

Next day was awesome. After heading around on a hop on off bus to get me off my knee a bit more, I got a much better orientation of the city. It also helped that later that evening one of my firiends I’d met on the recent tour I did in Azerbaijan, Georgia,Armenia, came and picked me up to go walk the Brooklyn bridge. The bridge is one of the oldest bridges in the United States, (construction was completed in 1893) a hybrid cable stayed/suspension bridge, spanning the East River between Brooklyn and Manhattan and an impressive 486.3m span . Lucky she works graveyards, and needed to sleep during that day as the timing was perfect, we were right up on it watching the sunset over the Manhattan skyline. Hanging with a local is always awesome you get to hear the story of an area from someone who has watched it evolve, you get the tips on where to go and what to eat. After walking to Manhattan and then back to Brooklyn, Marife and I kept walking down to the DUMBO area, where she knew there was a lovely water level park area, giving amazing views of Manhattan. Also enroute an Ample ice cream store (apparently a local icon in the ice cream world - I can attest to its amazingness!). Then it was off the another local institution, Garibaldis pizza. This place has queues out the door till all hours of the night! We were there at about 10pm and there was still a wait for a table! They only sell whole pizzas, and they are all made fresh to order. Having locals knowledge was brilliant, as I would never have known the next door “Guiliannas“ pizza, was exactly the same company (so in reality you just pick whichever queue is shorter!) Pizza was delicious, we ordered one ‘small’ one each, only to discover that ‘small’ was not as small as we thought!

Marife then took me over to see the Oculus, an incredible looking structure that housed a mall/shopping centre, and is the main terminal station for public transport in the world trade centre area. The building opened in 2016 and since then has been somewhat of an attraction for visitors to the city. I must say during the evening it looks amazing all lit up, and on a week night, it was really quite empty. An amazing design. Unfortunately the nearby 9/11 water memorials were closed off to the public when we arrived, ( I found out a few days later they close at 9pm). We then headed over to the flatiron building, an early 1900’s triangular 22 story building located in the flatiron district. The building looks a lot like a clothes iron (hence the name), and is one of those cool buildings that you want to somehow be able to go inside to see what shape the rooms are. Again, a very quiet area late at night on a week night - so it was easy to park and head over from some great night time photos. What a night - this was the point where I got it. I understood why so many love NYC, the locals love it, and the infection spreads.

The following day I travelled around on the bus again in the opposite direction and jumped off at Macy’s to go and explore the enormous 11 floor, flagship store in Herald square . By the time I walked out of there, I had no idea where I was. I could not see the landmarks I had identified as I entered - somehow I had come out on another whole street frontage. Anyway I got back to my hotel via a local hot dog store that had been recommended to me - all I can think is I am literally going to turn into a burger or something this stuff is everywhere! I was then ready to go out for a Cuban dinner with a couple I had met back in October during the Italian delights tour. It was fantastic to catch up with them! The restaurant, the food and the atmosphere were amazing. Aldo and Kristen and their two teenagers then took me on a walk through the streets to Hudson Yards to see the “Vessel”, a new installation that opened in March this year (2019), and already an added attraction for the city. It’s an interactive artwork imagined by Thomas Heatherwick comprising of 15 intricately interconnected flights of stairs designed to be climbed and enjoyed by visitors (with some amazing views apparently). It was really cool to see, and to hear Aldos stories about the construction jobs he’s worked on in the city enroute. FYI there is one hotel I will never ever ever stay in due to rats....

More details and photos from NYC to come!

The Tsukiji Market at 5-2-1 Tsukiji is an interesting place if you’re keen on sashimi and fresh fish. Whilst the inner wholesale section has restricted opening hours for visitors, the outer market and restaurants are popular with locals and tourists alike. You can eat tasty fresh crab sticks and other delicacies at one of the many food stalls. Get there early to beat the crowds – it’s open from 5 am to 2 pm and closed on Sundays.

Minato

For lunch, we recommend a true Tokyo hidden gem. Tokyo Shiba Tofuya Ukai is a traditional merchant’s residence from the Samurai era. Located in the Shibakoen area of Minato district next to Tokyo Tower, it is set in picturesque gardens. The restaurant has a series of private dining rooms with traditional but comfortable seating, overlooking an inner courtyard garden. The restaurant is famous for its tofu dishes cooked in a variety of ways as well as blowfish, a rare delicacy.

There are quite a few interesting things to do in Minato including Tokyo Tower. Open every day from 9 am to 11 pm, it’s an imposing sight at 333 metres tall, with its bright orange steel framework. From the top you can see as far as Mount Fuji on a sunny day. Through the glass windows, you can spot a shrine and some colourful Autumn foliage. One floor down, there’s a fun sight – the Lookdown. You can see through a metal grid to the bottom of the tower. The highlight of our Tokyo Tower visit was the performers dressed in colourful costumes, singing Christmas songs in Japanese.

For dinner in Minato, try Tarafukuuokin at 1-9-1 Shinbashi Minato is known as Codfish Fish Gold in English. It’s a traditional izakaya, a tavern popular with locals that serves some amazing sashimi dishes.

Another option is Sarashina-Nunoya restaurant in Shibadaimon at 1 Chome−15−8. This family owned restaurant have been making soba noodles for hundreds of years. It’s a casual place where the noodles are the star of the show.

Shinjuku

Why not take a photography tour by night in the Shinjuku commercial and entertainment area. It’s home to the busiest railway station in the world and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings.

Tokyo 3 Day Itinerary – Day 2

Asakusa

Asakusa is one of the most popular places for visitors to Tokyo. Senso-Ji Temple in particular is a fascinating insight into Japanese culture and Buddhism. It’s Tokyo’s oldest temple and with over 30 million visitors each year it’s the most popular spiritual site in the world. Head first to the viewing platform of the Asakusa Tourist Information Centre at 2 Chome-18-9 Kaminarimon. The view of the Kaminarimon or Thunder Gate is worth checking out and there’s a cafe too. Walk along Nakamise Dori, which is lined with many souvenir shops. It’s a good place to come for kimonos, obi belts, stationery and other gifts. Along the way we noticed quite a few Japanese women dressed in traditional kimonos, socks and sandals. You can rent them from the shops nearby and pose for photographs. Closer to the main shrine, many people were consulting little strips of paper to find out their fortunes. The giant flipflop on the side of one shrine was intended to scare any potential demons who would think that a giant lives there.

There are a few other interesting things to do in Asakusa, including a visit to a typical izakaya Japanese pub or to Hanayashiki, the oldest amusement park in Japan. Close to Asakusa, there’s the Tokyo Skytree observation tower and shopping centre in the Sumida district.

You can also take a river cruise from Hinode to Asakusa as there are regular day and night time tours. Ours took us past 12 bridges, including the Rainbow Bridge which looked stunning at night. The best spot for taking photos is at the back of the boat on the outside deck. On a chilly night you might prefer to sit on the inside deck but was quite mild.

Tokyo 3 Day Itinerary – Day 3

Ginza

For your final day in Tokyo, head to Ginza in the Minato district. Shopping in Ginza is second to none, with many luxurious department stores and malls such as Ginza Six and Ginza Plaza. Ito-ya is an amazing stationery store spread over 9 floors.

There are also some fantastic restaurants in Ginza including Shunjukusei Ginza Grill which specializes in the highest quality Japanese Tajima beef.

Ristorante Hiro Ginza is another great choice for its delicious Italian-Japanese fusion food. What else is there to do in Ginza? Kabukiza Theater is the perfect place to see a kabuki performance. This traditional Japanese art form is known for its elaborate costumes.

Chiyoda

The Imperial Palace is an impressive sight, being surrounded by a moat. The official residence of the Emperor and Empress of Japan, it was previously the site of Edo Castle. The public can visit Kita-no-maru-koen Park, Kokyo Higashi Gyoen (Imperial Palace East Gardens) and Kokyo Gaien free of charge. The latter is the plaza directly in front of the palace, which is a good vantage point for the Nijubashi bridges by which you enter the inner palace. Talking of which, it’s not generally possible to visit the inner grounds apart from on 2 January and 23 December.

The business district of Marunouchi is also worth a visit. For shopping in Tokyo, Kitte is an excellent choice. This upmarket shopping mall has many international boutiques as well as Japanese household goods and trendy eateries spread over 7 floors. There’s a great view of Tokyo Station from the top floor observation deck.

Shibuya

Any itinerary for Tokyo should include Shibuya Crossing, the world’s busiest traffic intersection, Shibuya Crossing. Known as “The Scramble” it’s been estimated that up to 1000 pedestrians on average are crossing at any given time. The area of Shibuya is popular with young people and covers 15.11 km2. With giant screens displaying advertisements, it’s particularly buzzing at night.

Getting to Tokyo

Tokyo has two international airports, Haneda and Narita. Haneda is closer to the city centre and the majority of domestic flights land there. Our ANA flight from London Heathrow to Haneda airport was peaceful and waiting staff were friendly and attentive. There are quite a few companies flying to Tokyo including Emirates, Japan Airlines and British Airways.

Getting Around Tokyo

If you prefer to get around by taxi, you can hail them on the street quite easily or order a Uber cab. The subway is extremely clean, safe and reliable. We took it a few times during our stay and it wasn’t too crowded though we didn’t take it in rush hour. You can buy individual tickets or a 1 or 3 day pass. The subway is fairly easy to navigate as there are direction signs in both Japanese and English.

Where to Stay in Tokyo

There’s no shortage of luxury hotels in Tokyo and a surprising amount of reasonably priced options too. We particularly like the Celestine Tokyo Shiba for its excellent value and contemporary decor and The Mandarin Oriental and The Peninsula for their service levels.

A Taste of Tokyo

We hope you’ve enjoyed this Tokyo itinerary and that it inspires you to revisit or head there for the first time. Why not combine your visit with a trip to the beautiful region of Oita in Kyushu, only an hour and a half away by plane. It has the most hot springs of any area of Japan and some stunning scenery.

Do you have any tips for first time visitors to Tokyo?

Pin this for later or share with friends if you’ve found it useful

A Visit to Warsaw

The D&O Diary’s European assignment continued last week with a stop for meetings in Warsaw, Poland, a city that absolutely confounded expectations. As befits a national capital of a country with a growing economy, Warsaw (in Polish, var-SHAW-vah) is a dynamic, energetic city, and full of history and interesting architecture. It also a surprisingly green city, with a huge, beautiful river, and vast parklands.

Following World War II, Poland was a part of the Eastern Bloc of countries. The remnants of the country’s Soviet era are still in evidence, although rapidly being modernized or expunged. Warsaw’s roadways still show the Soviets’ penchant for building wide boulevards, which today are choked with traffic, as shown in the first picture below. Many of city blocks still contain Soviet era concrete buildings, but many of those buildings are quickly being replaced by 21st century steel and glass towers. In the center of the city is what is still perhaps the city’s most well-known structure, the Palace of Culture and Science, originally dedicated to Josef Stalin. (The locals call it by a name that refers to a specific part of Stalin’s anatomy.) The building is still the tallest building in Poland, although the encroaching modern office towers seem to be giving it a run for its money.

The Soviet-era Palace of Culture and Science

A view of the Palace of Culture and Science from the River

The busy streets and the transformation from the Soviet era are consistent with my expectations. One part of the city I did not anticipate is how much green space it contains. On my first full day in the city, I walked to the Łazienki Krowlewskie (Royal Baths) park, about a mile south of my hotel. I had intended just to have a quick look, but it proved to be such a beautiful park that I wound up staying and exploring it for the better part of the afternoon. One of the most striking features in the wooded, 200-acre park is the baroque 17th century Palace on the Isle, which served as a summer residence for Polish monarchs. The park also includes a famous sculpture of Poland’s most famous composer, Frederik Chopin. It was, in fact, a perfect late summer day, well-suited for wandering around in the park.

The Palace on the Isle in the Łazienki Park

The Chopin Monument in Łazienki Park (the statue depicts Chopin under a willow tree)

More of Łazienki Park — it was a beautiful summer day

I also visited Warsaw’s famous Old Town. I suspect that most people these days describing their visit to Warsaw would lead with a description of the Old Town. It certainly is beautiful and interesting, but I confess to having mixed feelings about the Old Town. The original structures in the Old Town were all destroyed in the Second World War. What is there now is almost entirely a reconstruction. To be sure, the Varsovians did an amazing job reconstructing their historic center city. Indeed, the success of the old city’s restoration is one of the reasons the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The reconstructed old city quarter does have a convincing air of an antiquity.

But the hordes of tourists and the plethora of souvenir stores and shops selling ice cream also lend it a bit of a Disney World feel. The beautifully rebuilt older city is certainly an interesting place to stroll around on a summer evening. Or to sit in a sidewalk café and enjoy some of the excellent Polish beer. In fairness, I did in fact lead this post with a picture of one of old town’s most distinctive features – the picture at the top of the post shows the Palace Square, with the Sigismund Pillar on the left (memorializing Sigismund III, the first Polish monarch from the Swedish Vasa dynasty).

Old Town Market Square

A view in the New Town area, looking toward the Barbican

The Warrior Mermaid, a symbol of Warsaw (and apparently one of those rare river mermaids)

One of the things I wanted to do while I was Warsaw was to have a look at the Vlatava River, and also to have a view of the city from the far side of the river. It proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated to get to the river – a wide, busy roadway divides the city from the river. I finally made my way to the riverside and then crossed over a busy bridge to have a look back at central Warsaw from Praga, on the far side of the river. It was here, in Praga, just across the river from Warsaw, that the Soviet army stopped in August 1944, when the Polish resistance Home Army rose up against the Nazi occupiers. The Soviet Army deliberately held back from aiding the Poles; the last thing in the world Stalin wanted was an independent and effective force on the ground in Poland. He was content to let the Nazis eliminate the Home Army.

To the surprise of both the Nazis and the Soviets, the Home Army fought valiantly and effectively, and it took the Nazis much longer than anyone anticipated to put down the rising. Hitler was so infuriated that that when the last of the resistance forces finally capitulated, he ordered the Nazi forces to destroy the remaining city – a task the Nazi troops completed with a grim effectiveness. In an era full of tragedy, the doomed ’44 Rising is among the most tragic.

The Vlatava River, with the National Stadium on the left.

A view of Warsaw from the far side of the river, in Praga. This is how close the Soviet army was during the ’44 Rising; yet they held back and did nothing to aid the insurgents.

The bravery of the resistance fighters lives on in Polish memory; the interlaced Kotwica mark, the Home Army’s symbol, can be found today on walls throughout the city. The symbol combines the letters P and W, to symbolize the phrase Polska Walcząca (“Fighting Poland”). The Soviet occupiers banned the symbol, but it lived on and it continues to serve as a sign for a variety of political causes.

The Kotwica symbol

Another vestige of the city’s complicated 20th century history is that memorials to the terrible events can be found throughout the city. Across the street from my hotel was a fascinating photo exhibit with huge photo enlargements of faces of the resistance fighters. It takes your breath away to realize how young they were. In the park next to my hotel was a huge painting depicting the civilian evacuation from the city at the outset of the rising; the artist was a small child at the time of the evacuation. In another part of the city, there is a dramatic memorial to the Warsaw Rising, and nearby a memorial to the separate 1943 Ghetto Rising.

At the end of the Second World War, the city was left in rubble. Much of its population was gone – dispersed or dead. Over 45 years as part of the repressive Soviet bloc followed. With the city’s complex and tragic past, it is a wonder to see what it has now become. The modern office buildings, the sleek new subway system, and the youthful crowds that throng the streets all testify to dynamic present and a promising future.

Because of the beautifully rebuilt old town, because of its parks, because of what the city has become, Warsaw is a great place to visit. But Warsaw is also a great place to visit because of what it represents as a symbol of resilience and courage.

Respect, Warsaw. Respect.

More Pictures of Warsaw:

Nowy Świat, which runs through the city’s historic district and connects the royal palaces.

This is the Hotel Bristol, where I stayed during my visit. Great Old Europe hotel. Feels like it is right out of a Bond movie. Perfect location on the Royal Way, about 500 yards from the Castle Square. The Old World feel is genuine; the hotel is one of the few buildings that survived the war. Only problem, as I learned during my stay, is that the reason it survived reportedly is that it was the residential headquarters for the top Nazi officials (I am just quoting the guidebooks for this information.) For what it is worth, it has a very nice bar and a great fitness center.

The Saxon Garden, another of the city’s many beautiful parks.

The city’s awesome Metro. The sleek new No. 2 line (pictured) just opened in 2015.

For anybody planning a trip to Warsaw in the near future, here’s a tip you won’t find in the guidebooks. Along the Vlatava River, at the brand new Nauki Kopernick Metro station, there are a bunch of informal beer gardens. A couple of dozen food trucks, a ton of buskers, and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. Perfect place to watch the evening gather on a warm summer evening. Go now; in a year or two, I am sure it will all be replaced by a Ritz-Carlton Hotel with an upscale mall attached.

The mermaid in the old town square is a facsimile, for tourists. The real Warrior Mermaid statute is down by the river, as pictured here. The sculptor’s model was in fact an active participant in the ’44 Warsaw Rising. This is a serious Warrior Mermaid statute, friends.

Pirogis, it’s what for dinner.

Sunset at Castle Square.
