Tokyo Day 1: Yakitori Lane

Before end our first day in Tokyo, we head to Yakitori Lane for supper.

(It's located near to UNIQLO building. You will find a green neon sign as the entrance of the alley.)

It's a small alley fills with yakitori shops. Seats were limited, as one shop can only accommodate about 10 guests. We manage to slot in into one of the shop.

We had grilled bacon. This is nice!!

And a few sticks of yakitori.

A glass of beer and a glass of green tea.

Both carries same price :-\

The 7 sticks of yakitori, a glass of beer and a glass of green tea cost us JPY1600.

Tokyo Day 1: Afuri Ramen

Since we were at Shinjuku, we had our dinner at Afuri Ramen.

A place I saw many bloggers recommended.

The setting was easy. Queue up, purchase your meal ticket from the vending machine, sit back and wait for empty seats, have your meal and leave.

Somehow, makes me feel like no life. No chatting. No human touch.

Our meal ticket.

We had Yuzu Tsuyu Tsukumen. JPY1060.

Yuzu citrus soy sauce based dip.

Hrm.. not up to our expectation. The taste was too mild for us.

Yuzu Shio Ramen. JPY980.

Salt based soup with Yuzu citrus accent.

The taste was also too mild for us.

Nevertheless, it's a good try.

Tokyo Day 1: Shinjuku

Feeling rebel, we booked tickets and fly to Tokyo.

Bye KL.

This time, we took ANA. No regret. The services was good.

Throughout the almost 8 hours flight, we enjoyed our meal, snacks, drinks and movie.

Entering Japan. That excitement~

Arriving at Narita airport, we took Keisei Skyliner to go to Shinjuku.

Ticket were booked earlier through online.

We have to transit at Nippori. At Nippori station, look for a vending machine where you can exchange your Keisei Skyliner Ticket to JR ticket. Feel free to ask the staff at the station. They were very friendly and they speaks English!

Arriving at Shinjuku Station, we use the one day Metro ticket to head to our hotel at Minami-Asagaya.

There go one day. Just for transiting.

We stayed one night at Hotel Route Inn Asagaya which was only few minutes walk from the Metro station.

After checked in and left our luggage, we head out to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

There's observation deck at Level 45. Entrance is free. Take this chance to soak in the night view of high dense and busy Tokyo.

We then spend our night walking around Shinjuku.

Catch some Pokemon at this Pokemon street.

Had supper at Yakitori Lane and call it a day :)
