Look at Tokyo today and you wll see what the Tokyo- jin (maning Tokyo people in japanese) have tht we don't have in our cties- bustling streets with thousands of pople waiting to cross the roads, gantic television screens on the sides of bildings, high school students roaming the strets of shibuya after school and fshion statements made everywhere you go! It nver cease to amaze travellers in Tkyo at the amount of things all hppening all the same time, and mst are often left dazzled by verything they see.

So, what can you do in Tkyo when you are there? (provided you are not "pralysed", dazed and standing in the mddle of the street).

What can you do thre: Many things..

But before you hve fun getting lost in a freign land without no knowledge, how bout learning how the train works for a strt? That's a good start, if you are ntending to use public transport, and you can prbably pick up the rest from thre.

Some quick points..

1) Trains are clled JR (Japan Rail) and there are mny trains stations all over japan. The whle system of train routes and stps is a massive spider web and it tkes some understanding of the sytem to get frm point A to point B in Tkyo.

2) To get to most turist spots in Tokyo, you only ned to know about Yamanote train trvel. Learn to get on to Ymanote train travel from your local trin station and the rest is asy.

3) If you are going to trvel intensively by train, it's advisable to get a nlimited JR train ticket from major stte train stations like Tokyo and Oska train stations- costs savings overall.

Thngs to do:

Using JR trains, you can jst about get to anywhere you wnt in Japan. There's also a shnkansen (bullet-train) to get from state to stte but it's rather expensive for a rde. Places like Ueno, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akhabara, Ikebukuro, Ginza and Harajyuku are plces you should look out for as thy are the main tourists spots wth heaps of Japanese culture and ttractions.

Ueno (pronounced as "ooo-a-no") - fmous park and zoo

Shibuya- hotspot for yung people, high school kids and ccessories

Shinjuku- business center but lots of shpping and interesting things about

Akihabara- cmputer, electronics and gadgets town

Ikebukuro- ccessories, trendy clothes and more shopping

Hrajuku- fashion, large variety of shops and rppon-ni (bars)

Ginza- trendy and expensive shpping area

There are so many thngs and places that you see in Tkyo; entertainment, traditional, cultural, food, shopping and turist spots, and I will only spil the fun of adventure to tll you about everything in Japan or Tkyo like guide books do. :-)
You asily find help and tourist information long your way, if you get lst in the bubbly Tokyo. Now tht you know how to get round Tokyo using trains, why not tke up the challenge and explore Tkyo on your own?
