#1672971 Going to Japan - Suggestions?

Posted by tsuna27 on 13 June 2013 - 03:44 AM

Im currently a college student in tokyo.

I was born in kyoto so i can help you out.

 

Kiyomizu Temple.

Im pretty sure youve seen this somewhere. The view is fantastic. the trail that leads to there is super old style japanese

Kinkakuji Temple

This temple was built by one of japans high class guy to show how wealthy he is by making it all in gold

If you gonna be in kyoto July 1st

i dont think youll still be in japan durring the parade but hey looking at the giant car thing is pretty cool too.

 

Tokyo.

not sure what your interested in but 

Tsukiji is the fishmarket. if you wanna check out the actual auctioning of fishes you gotta get there around 5am. or you can get there early as you can when you wake uo and they still would have fresh fish that shops will love to prepare for you.

 

If your going Akihabara check out a place called Asakusa. if you take the "Tsukuba Express" trainline youll pass stop at Asakusa before going to Akihabara.

in Asakusa they have a huge buddist temple

then from there you can walk or take a train (1 stop) to the Tokyo Sky Tree (its the second tallest structure in the world) take a look around there and go to akihabara!

 

Pm me if you need to know something id be glad to help!
