Review A Tokyo, Japan Vacation

Akasaka et Shinjuku au loin.
This city is wonderful!  Very clean compared to any U.S. city of even half it size.  The people are friendly and willing to go out of their way to help bridge the language gap.  Also for a city its size it's relatively safe.  The mass transit systems make it a breeze to get around.  Things get a little high priced (like the $22.00 Mt. Fuji burger from hard rock cafe. Which is a great burger by the way, but not worth $22.00, I felt like I was in Paris with the prices) but that's normal for any large city.  This is a great place and if you go we recommend taking the train to some of the surrounding cities in the mountains for a day.

Very beautiful, from the neon lights of Asakusa to Shibuya, we found ourselves wondering the streets of Tokyo, passing by the brightly lit arcades, shopping centers, sushi bars, and karioke joints. We were overwhelmed and still are from the whole experience. 

It is a culture and a city so distant and so strange that it is almost a different planet.  The people are kind and the language barrier is not as much of a problem as one would expect, but the experience of the city is life changing.  The only downside is at times one can feel a little alienated but overall it has been the one greatest trips to the orient of our lives and we highly recommend going at any cost.

The beauty of the city lies within the deeply rooted culture that is found within the people and the modern marvels of the city.  It is a new city so the technology is amazing but the greatest part of the city is the exploration of it.  The simple discovery of its strange world is both the most memorable and in my opinion most moving.

So when you go, don't expect Godzilla to come ashore and destroy the hotel that your staying in or anything like that, but you can get some neat Godzilla souvenirs.  Tokyo is a city on the move and has many things to see and do.  It might take more than a week here.
