Japan, Tokyo - Tokyo Dome

A lot of things happened during this trip but it's too long and difficult to be elaborated on the blog. But I guess usually things happen for a reason.

So yes, I'm finally updating on my trip 2 months ago. So on the 14th of May I went for my first trip to Tokyo on Korean Air.

We took the airport limousine bus from narita airport to TCAT at 2000 yen (youth price). The hotel is at Jimbocho station and we had to take a train from Suitengumae station to Jimbocho station.

Getting PASMO card (our ezlink card)

A PASMO card is not really necessary because from what I know, they do not have a discounted price like our ezlink/Korea's T-money. Plus, there is a deposit of 500Yen for the card and if you want to refund the card at the end of your trip you'll only get back a percentage (think 80%) of the 500 yen due to processing fee. It's just more convenient since you don't have to buy a ticket everything you need to take the train. Transport in Japan is really expensive! 

Only Women Carriage

At first due to the presence of escalator I was thinking "People always say there are no escalators and lifts in Japan's train station, not true leh." and then while going to exit Jimbocho station, I saw those flights of stairs. Having to carry a 18 + kg luggage up flights of stairs is no joke. Thankfully, met a very nice and kind Japanese uncle who helped carry the huge luggage up. Arigato Gozaimasu!

Ice Cream Vending Machine

They really have vending machines everywhere.

That night visited...

Tokyo Dome

It is located at Suidobashi station on the JR line. Japan lines are really complicated, and to add to the complication, different lines belong to different companies and most of the time you have to tap in/out again if you're transfering between different companies lines. 

There was a baseball match going on in the stadium. Japanese seems to really be supportive of their baseball.

Tokyo Dome is like a resort on it's own. They have their hotel, shopping mall and even an amusement park. Their amusement park was quite empty when I was there, maybe cause it's late or because of it's relatively small size or maybe it's because with disneyland and disneysea who needs other amusement parks.Despite their relatively small size (abit like our escape theme park), they actually have quite a number of rides. They even have a roller coaster that go through a hole in the shopping mall but it's temporary closed now.

Their amusement park has the flexibility of getting a day/night pass which allows you to take unlimited rides (except for certain rides) or individual tickets for each ride between 400 yen to 800 yen.

Took their ferris wheel at 800 Yen.

Haha, can you spot me in the dark?
