Actually i dunno how to describe this trip experience cos my mind was full of thoughts during this trip. Mostly i did enjoy myself very much wif joyce because it was so fun travelling and exploring places together. Tokyo is really a very different place from Osaka.

Osaka is more peaceful, quiet, traditional & cheaper to eat or shop place. The people are loud but warm. And they are also more direct in their words. But i enjoy training in Osaka wif Takeuchi sensei very much. Takeuchi sensei's family is also very nice to us. :)

This time i travelled to Tokyo with joyce because the last two times i've been to Japan was at osaka. And joyce know Tokyo streets quite well so we decided to go there. It was a very fruitful trip though. Because although we only managed to train there for one day, we had a great time learning at Hanai sensei's dojo.

Hanai Sensei is a 6th Dan sensei & also a fren of meguro sensei. Thru Meguro's sensei's help, he arranged for us to train at Hanai sensei's dojo.

Hanai Sensei is the person between me & joyce. :)

Asakusa is a very nice place to go!! Must go!! There are alot of souvenirs shops there & the place is very colourful & beautiful! It is really a very interesting place to visit if you have never been there. :)

A whole stretch of souvenir shops! :)

The famous Asakusa temple.

We also went to the Tsukiji Fish market. It was an eye opener for us!

Everything is alive!! haha!

Look at the size of this crab! :)

We also went to Harajuku, Ikebukuro, Odaiba & shinjuku. All these places are nice. :)

Lastly we went to Yokohama. Luckily we managed to contact Saito Sensei so we decided to pay him a visit & also to visit Yokohama for the first time.

At Yokohama station. About 1hr ride from Shinjuku station.

Yokohama has been known for their chinatown so sensei brought us there for a look.

I think because Singapore is a multi-racial society & also full of chinese people so this place is only good for window shopping or juz to walk thru 2c. Sensei also says that SIN chinese food is better! haha!

Another famous place to visit in Yokohama is the Yamashita park.

The view is really vey nice.

Look at the beautiful ship parked juz rite in front of us.

Later we went eating & drinking wif sensei. Wonderful meal! :)
