Alla ESCORT - Call Girls Directory

Here are some of the memories and thought from my short trip to Tokyo in the Land of the Rising SUN. They are normal tourist pictures but also shots of what I sensed while I was there. Yes, I know you probably won't feel those moments the same way as I did but you can let your imagination do the trick for you. This picture is from the imperial japanese gardens called Shinjuku Gyoen and was taken in wintertime! It's a large garden notable especially for the variety of styles featured (the garden's style includes include English, French, and Japanese gardens). A greenhouse filled with tropical plants offers even more variety to this peaceful scene. 
 
Favourite spots:  
  
Before enjoying your japanese dinner - GO to have a beer (you can choose from Kirin, Sapporo, and Asahi) or two in a local pub. Even without knowing any english the japanese waiters provided us with an excellent service. They showed me first the wine bottle in order to know if I agreed to have a glass poured from it. It was a good french chardonnay white wine - no complains. You can see two hot towels on the table. You always get one or several during a meal. HERE COMES THE STRANGE PART: I don't know how common it is but as japanese don't just "drink", we got with our beverages a cup with an almost uncooked egg. The question was how to eat it? Use the given chopsticks !?!!? or just drink it (LOL!!)? 
 
What's really great: 
  
Ginza was the first Japanese attempt to implement Western architecture on a large scale.(15min.on foot from Imperial Palace.) The shift that changed the area that had only contained the Shogun controlled mint into Japan's leading shopping district began at the time of the imperial Restoration in the latter part of the 19th cebtury. Today only the name remains.

MEIJI-JINGU SHRINE
Before reaching the shrine, you pass this ICHI-NO-TORII gate made from 1700 years old cypress tree.

Asakusa Tokyo - Asakusa Temple - Asakusa Guide - Asakusa Japan.
Asakusa (浅草) is the part of Tokyo most famous for the Sensoji Temple (sometimes referred to as Asakusa Temple). There is also an above-average density of temples in nishi-(west)-Asakusa.

Asakusa is on the north-east fringe of Central Tokyo, at the Eastern end of the Ginza subway line, approximately one mile east of the major Ueno railway/subway interchange. Refer to our Tokyo Map for the locations the stations and temples. It is central to the area colloquially referred to as shitamachi (not an official designation), which literally means "downtown". As the name suggests, the area has a less frenetic and more traditionally Japanese atmosphere than other neighbourhoods of Tokyo.

Tokyo is a decidedly sprawling and bustling city which, though interesting, to me seems to lack the charm and feeling of tradition that Kyoto, Hakone and Kamakura conveyed. Despite its expanse and at times heavy traffic, Tokyo is fairly easy to negotiate given its efficient subway system. I rather played Tokyo by ear and perhaps didn?t get all that I could have gotten out of the experience. To make the most of your visit, do some homework and pay a visit to the Tourist Information Center (TIC) near Yurakucho Station to help plan your itinerary. 

Favourite spots:
A good way to really appreciate the shear size of Tokyo is to view it from the upper observation deck of the Tokyo Tower in the Akasaka district, where the city reveals itself as a sea of concrete that seems to stretch nearly to the horizon which is sporadically punctuated with the green foliage of scattered gardens. At the base of the tower are about three or four levels of shops and restaurants plus a basement level that had the best deal on tekka-maki (maguro tuna roll sushi). There was also an interesting exhibit of holograms, with most of the holograms merely static but some actually animated by imposing multiple sequenced images on a clear tube of plastic and rotating it to create the illusion of 3-D motion. Also in the same area are the World Trade Center and the Imperial Palace, which I didn?t enter but was able to enjoy a walk around the perimeter. The Tokyo National Museum is quite impressive. At night, Tokyo rivals Las Vegas with its neon lights and hi-tech signs.
 
What's really great:
I had an interesting experience near my hotel near Ikebukuro Station. I was walking back from a hibachi dinner and was stopping at a beer vending machine for a nightcap. An old retired Japanese Merchant Marine sees me at the machine and asks if I speak English. I say yes, to which he says that so does he and, hey, lets go drinking and speak some English. We end up in this neighborhood tavern that features a large caldron of stewed pork, onions and potatoes. We proceed to eat and drink sake and Kirin beer and are soon joined by two drunken Japanese businessmen, who proceed to buy me a large shoju (kind of like Korean vodka); it?s all downhill from there. One businessman leaves as the tavern closes and the three of us go across to a bar across the way, where I put my head down on the table for a second midway through my drink and wake up two hours later to find the Marine and the bar tab gone, the businessman passed out across the table, and a waitress yelling at me to leave.

The Imperial Palace Tokyo (皇居 Kokyo) is the home of the Emperor of Japan (the Japanese head of state). The actual Imperial Palace building was part of the Edo Castle. It is surrounded by a moat and a high wall and occupies the most expensive square kilometre in the world. The Imperial Palace Tokyo is located within the Chiyoda ward.

The inner palace gardens and buildings are closed to the public except on January 2 and December 23, when the imperial family makes a public appearance; foreigners can also apply online to join a guided tour at other times, but you must book in advance. Depending on demand, you sometimes can get in at relative short notice. Expect to share your tour with hundreds of other tourists. Tours are conducted in Japanese, but English audio guide is provided free of charge. There is no charge for this tour.

An eclectic and exciting mix of old and new, crowded streetscapes, ancient temples and serene alleyways vie for space in and around newer and more towering high tech skyscrapers and neon lights. Tokyo is just a feast for the senses.

One of the first things that strikes you is the humanity. People, people everywhere, space is such a premium I found it hard to reconcile being in amongst just so many people.

Sensoji Temple Guide: Sensoji Temple pictures, Sensoji Temple map and Sensoji Temple description.
Sensoji Temple (金龍山浅草寺, Kinryū-zan Sensōji) is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Taitō Ward, Tokyo. Sensoji Temple is sometimes referred to as Asakusa Temple. It is Tokyo's oldest, and one of its most significant, temples. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Jinja.

Sensōji is the focus of Tokyo's largest and most popular matsuri (Shinto festival). The festival takes place over 3?4 days in late spring, and sees the surrounding streets closed to traffic from dawn until late evening.

Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, is the capital of Japan and a unique vision of Japan?s international business success and what the future holds for the rest of us. It is monolithic, grey, and thoroughly modern, but somewhere, it still has a heart that most visitors come to love. There are so many major sites to see, you?ll need at least a month to see just the major ones. A city of about 25 million (at night the population shrinks to 10 million as everyone heads to homes in the suburbs), it is extremely crowded everyday of the week and until very late at night. On the trains between Tokyo and Saitama or Tokyo and Yokohama, you can expect there to be standing room only until midnight. Because most of the city was destroyed during World War 2, the city is almost entirely modern. On the outskirts are blocks and blocks of ugly gray apartment buildings that look more suited to an Eastern Bloc country from the 1960s. But the heart of Tokyo appears almost entirely brand new. The easiest and cheapest way to travel in Tokyo is by train. For example, the Yamanote line hits all the major areas and runs about once every 3 minutes during the day. Sitting on the same latitude as Los Angeles, the climate is mild in winter and hot and humid in summer.

Harajuku and nearby Meiji-jingu shrine. Harajuku is where Tokyo?s younger crowd hangs out. Here there are surf shops, clothing stores like LaForet and the Gap, and tons of small pubs and places to hang out in. One great souvenir shop is Oriental Bazaar about 2 blocks from Harajuku station. It is full of Japanese souvenirs to give to family and friends back home, from business card holders emblazoned with Mt. Fuji to full sized shoji screens for your house back home. The best part about Harajuku is that it is next to Meiji-jingu shrine. While the original shrine was destroyed by bombing raids in WW2, it was rebuilt in 1958 and offers a serene heart to the bustling centre that is Tokyo. Inside, the massive Japanese cypress trees tower over you and block out most of Tokyo?s skyscrapers and street noise. For nature lovers head to Meiji shrine and take a stroll in the garden.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (東京都庁舎 Tōkyō Tochōsha), "Tocho" for short, or Tokyo City Hall is the location of the headquarters of the government of not only the 23 wards that people think of as the "city" of Tokyo, but also the cities, towns and villages that comprise Tokyo as a whole.

Located in Shinjuku, it is the tallest building in Tokyo at 248 meters (814 feet) from base to top, and the second-tallest structure after Tokyo Tower. The two top-floor observation decks are free of charge to the public. It is only a short walk from Shinjuku Station. Given that it is free to use the observation decks and has fewer tall buildings built around, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is the best observation deck in Tokyo to use. Other observation decks in Tokyo include the one in Roppongi Hills, where again a significant charge applies.

Viewing Tips - Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
I strongly recommend visiting the observation when it opens in the morning as this is the time when you will have the best opportunity of viewing Mount Fuji. At this time of day the sun will be behind you, the air will be colder and thus there will be less dust and smog in the air to block your view of Mount Fuji and the other mountains in the range.

Ueno Park is a spacious public park located in the Ueno section of Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan. In cherry blossom season, Ueno Park is Tokyo's most popular spot for outdoor hanami parties.
Ueno Park (上野公園 Ueno Kōen) occupies the site of the former Kan'eiji, a temple closely associated with the Tokugawa shoguns, who had built the temple to guard Edo Castle against the northeast. The temple was destroyed during the Boshin War.

Ueno Park was established through an imperial land grant to the city of Tokyo by Emperor Taisho in 1924. The official name of the park is Ueno Onshi Kōen (上野恩賜公園), which can be translated as "Ueno Imperial Gift Park."
