Jepang adalah salah satu
destinasi yang tidak pernah membosankan untuk dikunjungi berulang kali, dan
Tokyo adalah salah satu kota favorit bagi hampir semua orang yang berkunjung ke
Jepang (also for me!).
Japan is one of
the destinations that are never boring to be visited repeatedly, and Tokyo is
one of the favorite cities for almost everyone who already visited Japan (also
for me!).
Untuk yang berkeliling
beberapa kota di Jepang, Tokyo biasanya menjadi kota pertama untuk entry point,
dan sebelum kembali ke Indonesia (bagi warga Indonesia). When you only got two days in Tokyo, what’ll you do? I’m sharing some
spots that’ll be nice to fill your time while you’re in Tokyo.
For people who travel in several cities in Japan, Tokyo is usually the first city for the entry point, and before returning to Indonesia (for the citizens of Indonesia). When you only got two days in Tokyo, what'll you do? I'm sharing some spots that'll be nice to fill your time while you're in Tokyo.

SIGHTSEEING
Asakusa
Kuil Buddha tertua di Jepang ini selalu dipadati pengunjung, dan bukan tanpa alasan. Senso-ji di Asakusa ini sangat cantik, dengan atmosphere serba merah, sebagian pengunjung yang menggunakan kimono atau yukata, dan toko-toko menarik di sepanjang jalan menuju Senso-ji
This Japan's
oldest Buddhist temple is always crowded with visitors, and not without reason.
Senso-ji in Asakusa is very pretty, with red-paced atmosphere, some visitors
who wears kimono or yukata, and interesting shops along the path to Senso-ji
Ueno Park
Ada begitu banyak taman di
Tokyo namun Ueno park dapat menjadi salah satu pilihan untuk menikmati
ketenangan
There are so many
parks in Tokyo but Ueno park could be one option to enjoy the tranquility
Shibuya Crossing
One of the must do list in Tokyo is enjoying the crowd at Shibuya crossing. Why? Because it’s just iconic and, why not?
Tokyo Skytree
Salah satu tempat terbaik untuk menikmati Tokyo dari ketinggian, dengan view 360° dari ketinggian 350 meter di dek observasi. Nikmati juga magic moment saat sunset dan Tokyo diliputi cahaya jingga.
One of the best places to enjoy Tokyo from a height, with a view of 360 ° from a height of 350 meters on the observation deck. Enjoy the magic moment at sunset and Tokyo filled with an orange glow.
Diver City
Masih ingin berkeliling di malam hari? Patung Gundam besar di Diver City ini selalu menarik untuk dikunjungi di malam hari
Still want to get
around at night? Huge Gundam statue at Diver City is always interesting to be
visited at night

favorite stores to shop in Japan. Thrift store sells a variety of secondhand
clothings but it is still wearable and unique, we can find vintage clothes,

This street is
filled with shops selling unique and unimaginable things that we can wear,
particularly clothes. But the intriguing merchandises can also be found here
Yamashiroya
Mencari mainan? Toko 7 lantai di dekat Stasiun Ueno ini akan memuaskan keinginan kita, dan membuat kita lupa waktu saat berkeliling di Yamashiroya ini

track of time while traveling in this Yamashiroya

WHERE TO STAY? GET A HOMEAWAY FEELING!
Selama ini saya selalu
menginap di hotel saat berkunjung ke Tokyo dan di trip bulan ini, saya mencoba
menyewa apartemen melalui HomeAway, Pertimbangan pertama saya adalah akses, karena
selama ini saya memilih hotel agar mendapat penginapan di dekat stasiun, namun
ternyata banyak opsi apartemen yang berdekatan dengan stasiun-stasiun utama di
Tokyo.
Previously I
always stay at the hotel during a visit to Tokyo and in the trip of this month,
I tried to rent an apartment through HomeAway, my first consideration was the
access, because all this time I chose the hotel in order to get an inn that is
near the station, but there are many options of apartment with major stations
in Tokyo.

| Area near Maki's HomeAway apartement |
Saya memilih apartemen milik Maki yang terletak hanya 5 menit berjalan kaki saja dari
Komagome Station, salah satu stasiun di jalur JR Yamanote, jalur utama yang
melewati spot-spot utama seperti Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku dan lain-lain.
I chose the
apartment belonged to Maki located just 5 minutes walk away from Komagome
Station, one station on the JR Yamanote line, the main route through the main
spots like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku and others main attractions in Tokyo.
Usai booking, Maki
memberikan petunjuk sangat detail mengenai lokasi apartemennya, fasilitas dan
lain-lain. Saat tiba di apartemennya, saya sangat senang, it’s exceeding my
expectation. Apartemen Maki ini luas, dengan kamar tidur yang dapat
mengakomodasi tiga orang, ruang tamu dengan sofa yang juga dapat diubah menjadi
tempat tidur, dapur dan ruang makan, serta kamar mandi dan toilet yang terpisah
ruangan, sangat spacious untuk ukuran akomodasi di Tokyo :)
After booking,
Maki gave very detailed instructions regarding the location of the apartment,
facilities and others. When arriving at the apartment, I am very happy, it's
exceeding my expectation. Maki's apartment is spacious, with a bedroom that can
accommodate three people, a living room with a sofa which can also be converted
into a bed, kitchen and dining room and a bathroom and a toilet which are
separated, very spacious for the size of accommodation in Tokyo :)
Another great thing is that Maki prepare a wifi router (free) for us, dan menuliskan pesan di kertas tentang hal-hal yang perlu diperhatikan di apartemennya, seperti cara menyalakan penghangat dan lain-lain.

a paper about the things that need to be considered in the apartment, such as
how to turn on the heating and others.
