We landed at Kaoshiung International Airport. The airport is not really big. There is a visitor information center. There is also counter selling prepaid mobile cards and also a 7-11 for you to buy snacks and food or your youyou card( ezlink card). You can also get the easy card or also known as the youyou card from the metro station. The easy card can be use for payment for various occasions, including for bus, trains and in convenience store. There is a nt$100 (S$5) deposit, if you are staying for a short trip and intend to take a cab or hire a driver, there is not a need to get a card. If you are doing free and easy on your own, getting the card will save you the hassle of digging for coins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes the Taiwan Tourism Board gives away free easy card, watch out for it if you want to save on the deposit</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To reach the HSR station, you have to follow the signage and walk around 5 minutes to take the MRT. Take the train to Zuoying. It will take 13 stops and 26 minutes</div>

The THSR station is much bigger than the train station with slightly more food and drink selection. We bought the one-way ticket from KLOOK as We intend to take another train to Kaoshiung.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Firstly, you need to redeem the tickets at the counters. Passport is need for verification purpose. There are seats allocated and this ticket cant be scanned at the gantry. You have to ask the staff at the control station and they will open the gate for you manually</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ride from the THSR is fast at 12 minutes. We took some time to settle down and before we know it, we reached Tainan THSR. Don't get too comfortable. Just get ready to get down.</div>

This is quite a tiring way to get to Tainan. It will take around 2 hours. The reason is because THSR is not located near Kaoshiung international airport and the main city of Tainan is also not located near Tainan THSR.<br />
If you are travelling with elderly or very young kids, it will be a bit troublesome as you have to bring them up and down and to and fro. Although there are a lot of escalators and lifts, it will still some efforts to navigate the way and keep track of the stations.<br />
This method is recommended if you like to take train, we took 3 different type of train. You want to try out some adventure rather than the safe way of booking a driver from point A to B. And this is cheaper, it costs less than $10 per person. There are other combinations of trains/bus to get you to Tainan. The time and pricing does not differ a lot<br />
<br />
The more expensive but faster alternative is find a driver or taxi, it will cost around $50-$60 for 1-3 person and for a bigger car up to 8 person will be $70+. It will be worth it to take a car if you have a large group of people travelling together. And they will send you right to the Hotel. No walking required.<br />
<br />
I traveled with my parents who are in their 70s, they find it a bit tiring to travel via trains. However, they do like to explore the THSR and take the train and experience something different. The biggest challenge is our hotel is located 5 minutes from the Tainan Train station but the path is not smooth and even ground and some stairs, it is quite a challenge for elderly to walk on.<br />

2. Daiso<br />
Daiso? Daiso is also available in Singapore.<br />
Daiso in Korea has their own range of products that are not available in Daiso Singapore and Japan. At least is something available in Korea only.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r8tpVEBdcLs/XfpzPqYs_HI/AAAAAAABPhQ/R1JlE3MddrkZOb513GxXy09Md-tZumqMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/20180604_180024%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r8tpVEBdcLs/XfpzPqYs_HI/AAAAAAABPhQ/R1JlE3MddrkZOb513GxXy09Md-tZumqMgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/20180604_180024%25282%2529.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

The price range is definitely pocket friendly, ranging from 1000 - 5000 won.<br />
The biggest Daiso in Korea are located at Myeongdong and Hongdik University.<br />
They do tax refunds too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Art Friend<br />
Cheap stationery, Beauty Products, bags and the price are reasonable from 1000 won up. The branch at Myeongdong is big with a lot of places to take photos<br />

4. Beauty Products<br />
Korea is famous for their beauty product and it is much cheaper in Korea compared to Singapore. I will suggest Myeongdong if you need help with understanding the products as there are more staff who can speak Chinese and English. However, the staff at Myeongdong tend to more pushy. If you know what you are getting, can just walk to a random shop. Most of the Myeongdong shops also provide direct cash refund if you spend more than 30 000. It is better to consolidate your spendings and enjoy the tax refunds. Beauty products also have special edition like Line bear package, Kakao package which make it more unique.<br />
You can shop at Olive young, LOHBS, Lalavla which house a lot of brands.<br />
Do avoid those shops with chinese signs and sells items at much cheaper price, there are some bad rumours about those shops. I mean it is not worth it to save a bit of money and put your skin at risk.<br />
<br />
5. KPOP<br />
If you are buying for a younger generation, Kpop seems like a better gift.<br />
The best place to buy will be at the basement of Myeongdong station, with a wide selection and reasonable price.<br />
Just remember, albums are heavy. One album can weigh up to 0.5 to 1 kg so do not buy too much as they tend to make your luggage overweight.<br />
<br />
<br />
The most important thing is when you are travelling, you spend more time and moneyenjoying yourselves and buying things for yourself.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was never a fan of Art Friend as I thought it is a place that sells expensive stationery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stepped into one recently. It is really a must go for me now. I will suggest the one at Myeongdong. It is the biggest with a wide range of products, there are also a lot of photo spots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To locate it, it is a few shops after SPAO and opposite adidas If you exit by Myeongdong station , just walk down and turn left at Nature REpbulic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They sell a variety of items, including Stationery, heat packs, cute car perfume, bags, mini hair straightener, facial products and a lot more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a good place to grab not expensive souvenirs and stationery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As someone who use a lot of stationery, I find some of the stationery quality quite good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prices start from 1000 won. You can get a cute good quality sticky at around 1000 won. It can be more worth than Daiso. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remind to ask for your tax refund too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The concept of using coins to pay is interesting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The food can get a bit salty if you just order the side dishes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did not order rice or noodles because it does not seems worth it.</div>

There is a lot of Korean food to try. However, the most special item to me is the zhajiangmian rice cake. The taste was just normal.</div>

Some tips:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't buy too much coins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe you can plan first before purchasing the coins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are going when the temperature is cooling or cold, do take note when ordering food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of the food are not keep warm on a stove and it does get quite cold and not really nice.</div>

AFter watching a Korean Variety Show of Koreans feasting on Korean food during a buffet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was determined to find a buffet to feast at Seoul. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The location is accessible. I went to branch at Lotte Fitting which is Dongdaemun History and Cultural park subway station exit 11. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is quite reasonable especially for lunch on weekdays, it is around 15 000 won.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is quite a large variety of food but is definitely not as much as those international buffet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The menu changes as I went in June and November, the photos are a combination of both trips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are some menu changes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For example, the DIY waffle machine is only seen during my November visit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The food was of good quality and fresh. The ambiance was quiet. It is a good place to chill and have a relaxing lunch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The negative point is that some of the food can get a bit cold as the food is not keep on a warmer. They serve hot soup and rice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also order hot beef soup and noodles. </div>

We decide to stay at Holiday Inn Express Hongdae for one day<br />
<br />
Reason for choosing this hotel<br />
1) it is just above the Arex Hongik University, it is easy to travel to and fro the airport.<br />
2) It was Halloween. It should be more happening at Hongik University, so we decide to stay at Hongik University<br />
3) Hongik has more interesting food and cafes. The food is cheaper at Hongik too compared to Myeongdong.<br />
4) The hotel looks new and comfortable and it is.<br />
5) We stayed at Airbnb at Hongik once, there was no hot water from 11pm to 6am. It makes things very inconvenient if you need a good bathe before sleeping.<br />
6)It is near to the quiet side of Hongik, with escalator up and down riding and also near to the side (subway exit 3) which has more nice cafes<br />
7) It is easy to travel to Seoul. It is useful for people making a lot of day trains via KTX<br />
<br />
<br />
Reason for not choosing this hotel<br />
1) It is quite a distance like 5-10 minutes from the subway line.Hongik university station is very big so it will be hard to reach the subway Hongik station.<br />
2) It is not convenient to travel to a lot of other location as it is not at a very centralized location.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We enjoyed our stay. We will back for another stay.<br />

<br />
<br />
I usually only use these 2 apps to navigate around Korea and I manage to get through with not much problems. They are Google Maps/Kakao Metro. To me, Naver Maps and Kakao Maps have slight differences so you can make your choice.<br />
<br />
Use Kakao Maps, as they provide more options to choose from. Google map is good for real time updates.<br />
I will choose will be dependent on the time taken, number of transfer, the number to walk to the location from subway/bus stop and the cost.<br />
<br />
I did a search of travelling from Hongdae Station to Myeongdong Station.<br />
<br />
Kakao Maps provide more options to travelling to Myeongdong Station.<br />
The subway option for Google Maps only have 1 option which is taking Line 2 and take a walk to Myeongdong Station. To walk to the actual Myeongdong station, it will take around 10 minutes.<br />
Google map also provide the bus options but is only 3 options.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For Kakao Maps, I have a total of 15 options.<br />
For the subway options, there are 4. I can choose between changing Line 2 to Line 4 and it will be a 1 minute walk. For the direct Line 2 option, I will have to walk around 10 minutes.<br />
They also provide information of how much the taxi ride will cost which is around 10200 Won.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
If I making a trip to Myeongdong with a group of 4 , I will considered taking a taxi as it is not that expensive as subway will cost 5000 won for 4 people. However, it will during off peak traffic as it do not like to stuck in a traffic jam. It is not always easy to get a cab. I had difficulties getting a cab back to Myeongdong from Hongdae at times. There is not much time saved, but your tired legs will get to rest.<br />
<br />
I will not be taking a bus for this trip as the time taken is almost double. There are times, bus is the more direct and convenient.<br />
<br />
For the subway, I have 2 options. I usually take the direct Line 2 ride as I do not mind walking but I dislike stairs.<br />
However, if the weather is bad. Taking a Line 2 to change to Line 4 to reduce the walking seems a much better idea.<br />
<br />
You can also check out the walking option with Kakao Maps, this will take around 1 hour plus which is highly not recommended. Some places are really close, for example, Namdaemun market is like a 10 minutes walk or a train station away. It is more feasible to walk then taking the train as the time taken is the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Pros and Cons </u></h3>
<br />
Subway: Easiest to navigate because you cant miss a stop with the signs and announcements. But may have to climb a lot of stairs. There is a need to walk 5 to 10 minutes to change from one line to another inclusive of stairs. Sometimes, I choose the option that take a longer time but with less transfer as it is tiring to use the stairs.<br />
<br />
Bus: It is more interesting as you can enjoy the sights of Korea. It is sometimes more convenient with less walking compared to subway,Is affected by traffic condition. It is hard to get track of the which stop you are at because some stops are missed. If you missed a bus stop, you may need to walk a lot to get back to your location. I will try to avoid it if there is peak hour traffic and also more than one transfer.<br />
<br />
Taxi/cab: You may not get one when you want to get. It is affected by traffic condition. There is also quite a number of touters and dishonest taxi driver stories. It will send you to the place that you want with minimum walking. The price can be quite steep especially if there is only 2 person taking the taxi.<br />
<br />
Walking: Good Exercise, can eat more.. Will get to see Interesting things sometimes. Will be tired out before reaching the place. It is better than changing subway lines which includes walking and stairs. May get lost. May walk to places that you are not supposed to be at<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Using Google Maps for Real time update</u></h3>
I tried to use Kakao Maps to navigate my way around, but they don't really have real time update. I have to keep refreshing the map to see if I am moving in the right direction or whether I am reaching. They don't show me the right direction to start at times. However, they offer more bus/subway options compared to Google Maps at times. It is worth checking out to see which is the shortest route to your destination.<br />
<br />
To walk with google maps, I will just randomly chose an options after inputting my route.<br />

Zoom in. I have to make sure my ray of light face the direction I am going.. Then I will start walking in the direction of my intented location. I will constantly check my map to see if I am walking in the right direction. Check constantly as you do not want to realise you are in the wrong direction after 5 to 10 minutes of walking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This can used for bus and taxi too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was taking the bus at Ulsan, we have no idea where to get down and we had some communication problem. When I saw the blue dot reaching my intended location, I press the bell to get down. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Supermarket is a place to get Authentic snacks in good quality and also great prices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not really a fan of stores that put out their snacks under the sun at some of the tourist places. Or places with no fixed prices, you have to know the market price in order not to get scam.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most supermarket do allow tax refund with minimum purchases of 30000 won, not including perishable. However, they are a handful that does not do tax refund. For example, the homeplus at world cup stadium.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do take note the supermarkets are closed on some Sundays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bring your own recyclable bags or buy one from the supermarket. Get the recyclable ones as Some of them have bags with nice designs and are really durable. I like the Emart ones. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the supermarket provide boxes, scissors and tapes for you to pack your items if you do not have a bag and do not want to buy one. You can pack a box of items for check in too if your airline allow more than one piece of check in and you do not have enough luggage space. </div>

Most of the supermarket provide boxes. You can buy a recycable bag and reuse it. The price is around 1000 - 3000 won. I find it really worth it as it is good quality and cute. It can be reuse multiple times and use to carry heavy items. The last 2 bags with bear is from Daiso. Daiso Korea has a different range of items from Daiso Japan and Singapore. It is worth a visit<br />

Home Plus</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We visit the one at Hapjeong Station</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This bigger that Lotte Supermarket but smaller than E Mart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They sell fresh food, snacks, stationery, electronics, household products and also clothes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a good selection of products other than snacks, you can find Pokemon, BT21, Line and Kakao items. To me, they seems cheaper than the official store and have a different selection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is very spacious and quiet. Very relaxing to shop here.</div>

4. Pierrot Shopping<br />
<br />
It is know as the Don Don Donki of Korea. There is great selection of snacks, not just from Korea but Asia. They have some snacks that looks like some famous Japanese snacks. And you cant find them in the other supermarkets. They also sell a lot of miscellaneous items like Electronics, stationery and clothes. If you are in Korea for a long time and miss Asia food. They do sell Indo Mie and Hao di Lao. They do not sell fresh food but have a lot of snacks<br />
Take exit 6 and walk all the way down (do not need to cross the road) for like 5-10 mins. It will on your left.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a few market for the Seoul Bamdokkaei Night Market. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to the Banpo Romantic Moonlight Market as it was by the Han River and the Rainbow bridge. From the night market, you can see the skyline of seoul and the Seoul Tower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">This market is only available from April 5 to 27 October. More of a Spring to Summer to Early Autumn. We were there in mid June. The weather is still cool in the evening and not humid. This market is not available everyday, just on Friday and Saturday Evening.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We was a bit lost while walking from the train station but we manage to find our way there and was in time to catch the sunset. It is spectacular.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">There are food trucks and quite a variety of food is available, fried chicken, grilled seafood, pizza, pasta, Thai food, drinks, beef cubes and a lot more. There are around 20 trucks. There is a queue for food, maybe around 10-15 minutes. There is a lot of locals sitting by the river enjoying food and the sights. </span><span style="text-align: left;">We bought food and sat by the Han River like the locals. The food is around 5000-10000won for one. It is relaxing and interesting to sit beside the river, enjoying the breeze and the view while enjoying good food. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">You can bring your own picnic mat or food too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">After a tiring day walking and shopping and sightseeing around Seoul, this is a good place to chill out and rest.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can walk over to the other side of the river for our other beautiful spots.</div>

SCAM? HYGIENE? )<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I have not been to Gwangjang Market for many years as it is touristy and crowded market. Recently, I accompany a friend who is in Korea for the first time and wants to visit more popular spots so we went there. There are Korean traditional food, also Kimchi, food and snacks to buy. It seems like a good place for sometimes who wants to eat Korean traditional food at a convenient location.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We ate at 2 different stalls. The first stall was fine and the food was not bad. The second hand was expensive and the hygiene of the food was not really not a turn off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The second stall, we order a japchae and 2 oden soup. The price should be something around 5000won but we were charge 14 000 won. Oden usually a stick is around 500 to 1000 won. The Japchae should be around 3000 won. Even the Koreans sitting beside us were shocked at the price that they have to pay. The Japchae was really bland. I saw the stall owner stretch out her hand to attract customers and she rested her armpit on the big basin of japchae. We also saw them throwing all the food away except the Kimbap, which nicely back in a plastic bag. MAybe they are going to the food. We have no idea.. If you are going there, ask the price first. The shop is right in the middle. Do take note if you visiting here.<br />

I have stayed at Hongdae, Myeongdong, Dongdaemun for my Seoul Trip.<br />
<br />
I still prefer staying at Myeongdong compare to other two places.<br />
<br />
There is so many brands, it is easy to get shopping done here if you are buying facial and beauty products. The shops here have English and Chinese staff ( although they may be more pushy at times.), who can provide you with information of the things you are buying.<br />
<br />
Location wise: It is on subway line 4 , 2 train stops from Seoul STation and Dongdaemun. It is walking distance from Namdaemun. It is 5-10 minutes walk away from Euljiro-1-ga which means there is a direct train to Hongdae and Ehwa. The location is quite centralised for me to travel around Seoul. There is a direct bus from Myeongdong to the airport. The negative thing about living around Myeongdong is that it is always crowded, the food is expensive and the most decent supermarket nearby is at Seoul Station.<br />
<br />
I used to stay at another hotel at Myeongdong till I discover this hotel. The hotel is at quieter part of Myeongdong which is better. It is quite close to the bus stop for the airport bus to the airport and it is a relatively new hotel.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stayed in Hotel Foret Premier Nampo during my last trip to Busan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first reason I choose this hotel is because it is relatively new, means everything is new. I went in 2017. This is because Some hotels does not look that good in real life compared to photos as the photos were taken years ago when the hotel just opened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Location wise is good to. It is not right at the station but it is just beside exit 5 of Jagalchi Station. It is walking distance from Jagalchi fish market, BIFF and also Nampo Market . However, it is quite far from Haeundae beach. If you want to stay by the beach, this place is not for you, It is a 3 stops away from Busan Korail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hotel looks new. There are beverages and water provided at the lobby. There is also massage chairs too. There are covers for feet for people using the massage chairs for hygiene reasons.</div>

The room looks chic, simple, new and also comfortable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We like the wardrobe a lot as it is not the traditional wooden cupboard but just a metal rack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bed is comfortable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we travel, clothes tend to stink more than usual due to how much we walk and sweat, having this allow us to air our clothes. There is a small table available and a flat screen tv.</div>

<br />
This is a blog post with photos of 2016.<br />

The autumn leaves and the yellow gingko leaves create a spectacular view. This post is for places that are in Tokyo and quite accessible. The autumn leaves in Osaka and Kyoto are more beautiful as it was the right timing and the colours were more vibrant. However, if you have no time to travel out, you can enjoy at these places to<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Directions</h3>
Do check the information again before going to the place.<br />
Use your google maps to check on directions.<br />
<a href="https://mizztoee.blogspot.com/2017/03/how-to-travel-around-tokyo-metro-subway.html">HOw to use the GPS</a><br />
I recently chat with a friend who says she is constantly lost when she is Japan. Please change to walking mode and press start. Make sure u are heading the direction as instructed, turn around to make sure your arrow is facing the direction you want to walk to and check once every few minutes to make sure the walking time is decreasing and you are on the right way. If they suggest an exit, please use that exit. I did spend another 10 minutes on walking because I exit by the wrong exit.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Accomodation</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Tokyu Stay Shinjuku. This hotel has good location. It is great for people who wants something like an airbnb and hotel combined. Although it has no stove, it has a microwave and washing machine. </span></div>

Places to enjoy Autumn leaves</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Ueno Park</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The autumn leaves are not that outstanding. Maybe it is better for cherry blossoms or I went too late.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is a lot of things to do at Ueno so it is worth it to drop by.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is a Zoo, shrines and Ameyoko market. You can spend half a day or a full day.</div>

<u>Meiji Shrine</u><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
We took a bus so we stop at the back part of Meiji Shrine. There were tall yellow and green trees along the road that create such a picturesque photos There were very few people so we had lot of fun taking photos. There was a farming festival and also some chrysanthemums event when we were there. It makes the whole place more interesting than I previously visited.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<u>Shinjuku Park </u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is an entrance fee for this place. However, I think is worth it as the autumn leaves are pretty with a nice mixture of other flora and fauna. More on <a href="https://mizztoee.blogspot.com/2019/07/japan-free-and-easy-shinjuku-gyoen.html">Shinjuku Park Kouen</a></div>

<u>Ruikugien Garden</u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is an entrance fee for this place. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The place is different from the parks and gardens I have visited in Tokyo and Kyoto. You can enjoy the autumn leaves at a total different settings. More on <a href="https://mizztoee.blogspot.com/2019/07/japan-free-and-easy-rikugien-garden.html">Ruikugien GArden Night Illumination</a></div>

<b><u>Ruikugien GArden Illumiation</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The nearest station to Rikugien Garden is Komagome Station of the JR Yamanote Line or the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line. The ticket cost is 300 yen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The garden is also open in the morning. Some part of the parks are close for the illumiation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of the most famous for the night illumiation in Tokyo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a queue outside. We took around 20 minutes to get into a compound.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a fixed route going in one direction. You can stop at your own pace to take photos and continue the tour by following the tour. It will take less than one hour if you just stroll to enjoy the scenery. I recommend this as it is different from the autumn leaves I have seen and it is beautiful. This is not a place for group photos as there are too many people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will not recommend this for kids that are very young or elderly with weak legs.There are very little places to rest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As it is a one way tour, so you can't turn back if they are tired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I visited this in 2016, the photos may not be accurate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The illumination starts from Sundown to 9pm but last entry is 930pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is from November 17 to 9 December 2019</div>

<br />
We decided to visit SHinjiuku Kouen as it is walking distance from our Hotel and is not really expensive. However, the price of the ticket now is at 500 yen. <br />
<br />
<br />
How to get there: Ten minute walk from the "New South Exit" of JR Shinjuku Station or a five minute walk from Shinjukugyoenmae Station on the Marunouchi Subway Line. <br />
<br />
<br />
As I was there around the end of November, some of the Autumn leaves are not as vibrant. I think the best time to catch Autumn leaves should be early November or late October. Usually the tourism board will predict the autumn leaves season.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Closed</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mondays (or following day if Monday is a national holiday), December 29 to January 3. There are no closing days during the cherry blossom season (late March to late April) and the Chrysanthemum Exhibition (first half of November).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The place is not very big, so will be able to finish in 1.5 hours with some photo takings. There are some benches for people to take a break. Some people do bring there picnic mat and have a nice little picnic or just sit on the grass patch while kids have fun at the open space and the adults enjoy the scenery. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I will recommend this as it is a convenient place. Some places do require a few hours of travelling. It is not far from the train station and from city. There are a lot of good spots nearby including my favourite ebi ramen and 100 Yen shop Seria. Shall do a write up on these 2 places in the future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The place is not big so if you are not one who want to spend a lot of time on sightseeing, this is the place to go. This is also a great spot for cherry blossoms. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Below are more photos for you decide if this is worth going. I feel this place is very good for family as it is accessible and also there are lot ofplaces for kids to run around.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a lot of research, we decide to stay at Ookini Hotel Nipponbashi.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Location: This is beside the train station, you can choose to exit 6 which is just the third door from the exit or take exit 10 which has a lift but you have to cross the road. It will be good for elderly or people with difficulty with stairs or wheelchair bounded. It is walking distance to eatery and 5 mins from Kuromon Market, 10 mins from NAmba and Dontobori </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kitchen: It has a decent kitchen with a refrigerator, a microwave, 2 stoves and ample cutlery for 4 people. It will be good if you want to cook any snacks or food for kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used it to cook instant noodles/pasta or any fresh produce we want to try out from the supermarket. Japan supermarket can be so fun. There is also a big dining table for 4. There is an air conditioner in the kitchen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bedroom: The bedroom is not very big. There is space for 3 luggages but the luggage also can be left in the kitchen room. The room has another air conditioner or heater. The bed was comfortable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Balcony/Laundry: There is a washing machine/dryer. ONe packet of washing power is provided. If you do not like to use the dryer, there is a nice little balcony for you to hang your clothes out. And to air the room if it does not smell good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Closet/Storage: There is a corridor leading to the bedroom. You can close the door of the kitchen to prevent cooking odor from making your clothes and items stink. There are 2 big cupboards, one with hangers and one with shelves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Toilet/Shower: The toilet and bathing are in separate room. There is a bath tub. The water pressure and temperature was good. However, I can't be sure about the temperature as I was there during summer. The water is warm without the heater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are eligible for a cleaning service for the 6 days when we were there. We did not ask for it as we just wash the towel with the washer/dryer and there was a big rubbish bin outside for us to clear the rubbish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I enjoy the stay a lot. the location is good as it is beside the train station and there are so many eateries nearby. Family mart and 7-11 are just beside which we can buy our breakfast and eat in the comfort of our room. NAmba and Dontobori are just nearby, we take a stroll back to our apartment. It is not as noisy as staying at Dontobori. The price is also more reasonable for such a big apartment. We did not enquire the staff much about the area as we have no trouble venturing out with our GPS. However, the staff was helpful when we asked for help with some logistics. The room is spacious and comfortable. We have a lot of amenities in the room. The room is not beautiful but is new, clean and practical. This will be good for family, especially those with kids as there need fresh laundry and to cook for kids and also friends travelling in a group it is spacious and private.</div>

<span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Expo '70 Park IS located next to Bampakukinenkoen Station along the Osaka Monorail. Take the train to Senri-Chuo Station and transfer to the monorail. The trip from central Osaka to the park typically takes between 30 and 50 minutes and costs around 500 to 700 yen.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #303030;"><br /></span></span>
</span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tXDTei3SPe8/XSjH-Gh3x3I/AAAAAAABOas/HRh9d2OHQGot-ypHLhKzvkONgpLTDembgCLcBGAs/s1600/20161119_112031a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tXDTei3SPe8/XSjH-Gh3x3I/AAAAAAABOas/HRh9d2OHQGot-ypHLhKzvkONgpLTDembgCLcBGAs/s640/20161119_112031a.jpg" width="360" /></span></a><span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #303030;">The reason why I recommend this park although it is quite an old park. Firstly, it is a beautiful </span></span><span style="color: #303030; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">park for autumn leaves and cherry blossoms. Secondly, this a quiet park with ample of space for kids to run and space to take photos. Thirdly, it is beside a mall with a good selection of food, place to shops aLastly, it is accessible, just beside the monorail. If you are bringing people who cannot travel far or only have stamina for a small park, this is ideal</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white;"><span style="color: #303030; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #303030; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let take a look at the park first.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0b5394; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I did not go at the peak of the autumn leaves season which is around end of October, I was only there around mid November. The leaves were still pretty and vibrant. The park is not very big. If you are someone who just want to take a nice little stroll, maybe it will take half an hour to one hour. If you are going to take photos or sit around for a picnic, it will take much longer.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
Just visited Universal Japan this summer.<br />
Here are some tips to enjoy yourself and some money saving tips<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><u><b><br /></b><b>Tips</b></u></span></h2>
1. Check the weather report. Make sure it will not be raining. Google the weather. Rides and queues are not all sheltered. Bring an umbrella if possible<br />
2. Buy the tickets online to avoid queues and save money. Try Klook or KKday. WE did not buy the express queue tickets. We managed to get into Harry Potter, Spider man, Minions 4D, Backdraft, Sailormoon, gozilla, Attack of the Titans, the other Minions rides and one of the kids rides. We did not take any roller coaster ride as I have phobia of heights and dropping, but I did have fun even I did not take the Roller coaster rides<br />
3. Reach around 845 to 9am, the queues are not that long in the morning. We went on a weekday and reach around 845am, there is already a lot of people waiting outside.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aBLV42e4oUw/XRrwNbViIhI/AAAAAAABOXQ/w9SmVUHoia0AKllsCqPviIuTk1BRh5E9QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_20190626_091018a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aBLV42e4oUw/XRrwNbViIhI/AAAAAAABOXQ/w9SmVUHoia0AKllsCqPviIuTk1BRh5E9QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_20190626_091018a.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Avoid going on weekends as the queues will be much longer<br />
5. Eat your breakfast as there is little time to waste, food are expensive and no outside food can be bought in. Bring plain water as it can be quite hot and tiring. There are water coolers around.<br />
6. Go to the rides with the longer queues first.The queues were be peaked around 1 plus to around 5. Between that timing, take some photo, do some shopping, get some food and take a break. Leave the photo taking when the queue is long.<br />
7. Do some research before you go as time is limited. You can't take all the rides. We watch street performances as we go along. Then we fnished all the 4D rides and the special anniversary rides as the must take rides and we finished all of them.<br />
8. For aesthetic food, it will be the Minions and some of the small snacks kiosks selling cute desserts or sweets. If you are on a budget, try the less popular cafe like the Jaws. The price of the food can be around 30% cheaper and there is usually more peaceful<br />
9. In the afternoon, a lot of people were sitting by the roadside resting around afternoon as it is getting hot and tiring. You can venture to less popular areas and there are rest areas with benches.<br />
10. Stay till the night if you can as the park looks different at night. And there is the Harry potter night shows and a parade.<br />

<br />
11. There are tons of options for Dinner at the Universal city outside Universal Studio so there is not a need to get in Universal as food options are limited and expensive<br />
12. The only ride with English sub is Minions. However, the ride experience is more important than the story line to me<br />
13. The map of Universal Japan is confusing. The restaurant maps are on the other side and rides on the other, no shops or landmark indication. There are a few signs around. Not all information are available on the map<br />
14. There is not a need to get a numbered ticket for Harry Potter unless you are going on weekends or the summer Holidays.<br />
15. Wear contacts if possible if you taking the 4D Rides and Roller coaster rides<br />

<u style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: xx-large;">Review of some of the rides</u></h2>
1. Harry Potter Ride and the forbidden ride (4D Ride)<br />
This is our first ride. We took around 30mins to queue as it is our first ride. We rushed to queue for it when it just opened. The wait can be much longer. This is not an actual roller coaster but it is one of the more scariest and most vivid ride. It was fun, but scary to me. Worth a try.<br />

<br />
2. Spider-man The-ride (4D ride)<br />
We were a bit lost. But the queue was not long. We took 10-15 mins to get to the ride. This has less drop and spinning. Graphics was good but not as vivid as Harry Potter. If you are not sure of whether 4D rides are your thing, you can try this one out first. I enjoyed this as I spend less time screaming for my life.<br />
<br />
3. SailorMoon : The Miracle (4D ride)<br />
We are really fans of Japanese anime and cartoons but this was the one of the special of the 5th anniversary of the Universal Japan. The setting is like a movie Theater, there is no dropping or turning. Just the character appear closer to you in 4D form. It is suitable for kids and elderly. The show is quite an interesting watch with the 4D animation.. Recommended for your heart to take a break from the excitement and a good place to rest your tired feet. We waited around 30 minutes to watch the show.<br />

<br />
<br />
4.Attack of the Titans : The REal (4D ride)<br />
This is a theatre setting too. This include real life actors/actress involves in this. There is slightly lesser 4D animation and the chairs does not move too. I did not enjoy it as much maybe as there is a language barrier to the storyline. We waited around 30 minutes for the show too<br />

<br />
5. Minions : Freeze Ray Sliders<br />
This is not a 4D ride. This is something like the kids" spinning tea cups but the spins are more intense and has some jerks here and there. If you want something outdoor but not too boring. I will suggest this ride. It was quite fun for me. The waiting time was around 15 minutes.<br />

<br />
6. Despicable Me Minions Mayhem ( 4D Ride)<br />
We queued an hour for this ride as this during the peak hours, around 3pm. The ride as animated drops and spins. It is more exciting than the Spider-man but less intense than the HArry Potter Ride. This is the only ride that provide English Subtitles. As I have taken this ride before in America. It is less fun due to lack of the surprise elements.<br />
<br />
7. Backdraft<br />
I was not interested in this ride at all as I read on how boring it will be except the last part. But my friend suggested it and the show was 5 minutes from starting when we walked past. The first 15 minutes was just explanation of backdraft and how the movie was made. It was all in Japanese. Then the last 5 minutes was the fire scene. Take note that there is no seats available. You stand and watch a clip in Japanese.<br />

8. Elmo's Go Go Skateboard<br />
The waiting time is around 5 to 10 minutes. I did not take the ride because I was scared. My friend took the ride. The skateboard roll up and down and a 360 degree spin. I did heard a kid tell the dad that the ride was really fun. We wanted to take the Flying Snoopy but as it was raining, we left the queue.<br />

9. Harry Potter light show<br />
We were exploring the Harry Potter in the evening as I seen some beautiful shots of it at night. As we were at the castle, I realise there were a lot of people standing around. We enquired the staff if there is a show coming up. He says there is a light show starting in 5 minutes. This is not listed in the pamphlets. We were lucky as we were back to explore the castle as the place looked beautiful at night. The show is a short but interesting to watch. I can't find the timing of the show at night, but I believe there is a few shows as I overheard the staff telling a person the next show timing. Just ask the staff about the timing available for the show.<br />

10. Universal Spectacle Night Parade<br />
We did not manage to locate the place or the parade was cancelled due to the on-off rain. We only have the staff there doing a photo session. Quite disappointing to us. We went off to watch the Gozilla show which was at the spot where we were waiting for the parade.<br />

8. Gozilla vs Evangelion : The Real (4D Ride)<br />
There is no waiting time as it is around 830pm and most people have left. This is the same theatre as the sailormoon. This is available from afternoon onwards. This ride is quite fun although it is in the theatre. The chair did jerk at some critical fighting scene and there are some other effects. I find it quite fun and not scary at all. I was happy that I did not missed this ride.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Food</u></span></h2>
The most famous food in Universal is the turkey leg. We did not eat it as it does not look appealing to us.<br />
If you are there on budget, eat proper food at the restaurant as as meal can cost like 1500 yen or more. A simple beautiful looking ice cream or a cup of butter beer will be around 800 yen and it does not make you full. We only try the Butter Beer, we paid extra for the cup as it is one of the cheapest souvenir, extra 500 yen. The Butter Beer taste like Caramel. The rest just look good but really expensive.<br />

We ate at the Minions resturant. We went around 1pm. There was a short queue. Everyone need to order a set meal. The price is not cheap but it includes a drink and a salad. We order 2 sets of the main course and a cream puff set. I was say the food is average but is visually interesting. The price of the main course is around $20+ each and the cream puff set around $10+. The whole meal comes up to around $70 even if we did not order 3 main courses.</div>

We walked past Jaw resturant. The price of the food looks a few hundred yen cheaper than the minions resturant. If you looking to save a few bucks and avoid the crowd, the food looks decent. I googled the image of the resturant. It is quite interesting too.</div>

When the queues have long waiting time and the weather is hot. Walk around for some photos, and run to any of the shop for air con and more photo taking. There is not a need to buy but some of the shops are quite interesting to window shop. There are also street performances here and there</div>

I just changed my mobile phone and all the photos are taken using by mobile. I am quite pleased with the quality of photos. I took a video of the Harry Potter Light Show, I think the quality is quite good. However, I am not going to share it. I don't want to spoil the fun and the elements of surprise when you watch the show. Have fu!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every year , I will bring my parents to one destination of their preferences for a trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time round, we decide to be slightly more adventurous and try a non-Asia country, Perth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My parents are more than 70 year old and quite conservative.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took a flight that reach at around midnight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was not possible to rent a car at midnight. We decide to go visit Margaret River before Perth City.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided to book an apartment near the Airport.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We choose Airport Apartment by AURUM .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1.The apartment is it provide free transfer from Airport to the apartment to and back to the airport. We need to get back to the Airport in the morning to pick up our car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is safer for us to get a good night sleep and set off tomorrow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. There are 2 toilets which make it much easier to get ready.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. The price is quite reasonable as we are only staying for the night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Review of the place</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. The arrangement of the Airport transfer was easy. The driver was friendly and helped with our luggage. Good first impression.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. The room was big and clean. There are two bedrooms, 2 toilet and a washing machine/dryer. The living room/kitchen is quite big with a sofa, bed, dining table and a fully equipped kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is quite weird to see a bed right in the living room. There is also a balcony.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. We did not get to try the kitchen nor the laundry facilities so we can't comment much. The shower is hot and not too weak. We had a good night sleep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. I am not sure if there is a lift or escalator. We took the stairs. Maybe email the apartment if you are need to know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, I am quite satisfied with the place and the free transfer. There is nothing around the apartment so breakfast will be at the airport or somewhere else. </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I been too busy to update this blog as I have trying to do some small business</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have working with a few box/shelves rental company. Let me share with you my experiences and maybe this will help people who are thinking whether to take the risk or join the fun. Let think about from merchants or sellers' perspective.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The companies I know are Cube sprout, Inbox, Hako, Toyoutpost, Box Boss, Box Societe, District 5, Ministry of Cube .. There should be more of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me do an analysis of renting a box or shelf.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Different companies have different commission charged. It is usually between 8% to 10%. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of the shelves rental still carry their own products which include toys or phone accessories. Therefore, do take note of the commission when marking the price of your items as for every $100 of sales, $10 is the profit.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">2. Different companies have different staff management. Some companies has a minimum of 2 or more staff daily. Some companies only 1 or 2 staff. The negative point of having 1 staff is not enough to serve the customers and the need to close for lunch break. People may just get tired of waiting and leave. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">However, the quality of staff is important. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Some staff just sit behind the counter using their hp and chit chatting. They have no knowle</span><span style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">dge of the items in the shop and just use the excuse that they are just a consignment shop. Sometimes you are selling the item but the staff will just ask the customers to look for items themselves. People are turned off by the staff's attitude. I am not sure if the management does check on the service by the staff.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Some staff are always on their feet and helping out customers' questions. Some staff bothered to pack the shelf and some just tell you they are busy or it is too difficult. It is hard to have good sales in a messy shop</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Some staff are just too preoccupied behind the counter to deter shoplifting. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">I will suggest dropping by the counter to double check on the quality of staff. Good staff will really help in the sales as they are friendly and willing to help. They also will help you pack your items and deter shoplifting by just being on their feet. On the other hand, do not expect the shelves to be always neat as priority is serving customers and not packing the shelf to pack .</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">3. </span><span style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">Price war. Most shops have a clause on not allowing price war. Not all shops actually take action when price war happens. They just say is competition. So someone can come along and sell something at a much lower price. Some will discourage the other sellers and inform you if this happens. If a price war starts, the only winners are the shelf rental shop and the customers. Having different promotion to entice customers is actually good, but having sellers price cutting each other will only results in sellers losing substantial income. Price cut is an irreversible process. There is always the reasoning of the survival of the fittest or in other words, who have the most capital.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4. This kind of shop is attractive to a lot of people as it sells a variety of stuff. There are some shops that does not control the variety of items sold. It is getting boring. Nowadays, a lot of shops has not been controlling the items sold. The main thing is handphone case and accessories, slime and kpop. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">5. There are some shops that allowed their staff to sell items in the shop. The advantage of that, it increase the variety of items sold. If you are doing well, they can always join in the game. They will know exactly what is selling well, how to display and more information than you or any new seller that is joining you. There are some rules and regulations to keep staff in check. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #00e000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cost involved</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">If you are renting single shelf. The rent will be $150 to $200 plus. Let take the cost of $180. In order to cover the rent and commission, you will need a sales of $200. If your stock cost is around $100 for a month, then you will need around $300 for a single shelf and $500 for a double shelf to cover some of the operating cost.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: inherit; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">There are other cost like buying racks and containers, damaged and stolen stock and also labour cost. If you put in 5 hours into the shelf, you should expect at least $50 for labour cost. Labour cost include travelling time, packing of items for sale and packing of shelf. The remaining then is your actual profit. It is advisable to drop by once a week or fornightly, to restock and get comments on how to improve sales and display. The hours put in should be more than 5 hours.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A lot of people do not count in all the cost, especially their own labour cost so they think they are making a big profit. There are also cost like damaged goods and shoplifting. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I heard of a lot of people commenting it is good profit because an item can make like $5 profit. In order to cover cost of $550, 110 of the items need to be sold which is like 4 items per day to cover cost. And this, we are only talking about covering cost and not making profit</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you stand around and watch, there are sales but not a lot of items are sold per shelf That are some people who believe making a $1 profit per item is already enough. We need to sell 550 items which is almost 20 pieces a day. If you are selling hair clips or phone case, you will realise very few shelfs sells 20 pieces a day. Maybe more than 50 phone cases are sold, but divide by the large number of shelves selling phone cases. It will be not as much. Selling what everyone is selling is not going to beneficial unless you have something different. The profit margin must be higher to cover rental, commission, labour, stock and theft. Do your accounts first, a lot of people just end up paying rent to the shop and not making profit. Or believing they are making a profit by ignoring some costs. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u>Tips</u></span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Visit the shop a few times to not just check out the traffic flow. The quality of the staff which is are the staff packing the shelves, helping the customers and walking around.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. Try to keep the same price as others. There is no point starting a price war as others will follow suit or reduce the price even more. and it will just benefit the customers. Decreasing price will not bring the same increase in sales. Unless you are intending to use a lot of money to kill off all competitors.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. Count your cost and expenses properly. Sales is not the same as profit. Remember you are not free labour.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4. Look at how other vendor arrange their items. Learn how to present in a neat and orderly manner. It will be more attractive.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5. The rent of shelf is usually is higher at eye level. If you are selling small items, it is better to get an eye level shelf. If you are selling big items, it is better to save cost by getting lower but bigger shelf so more items can be put in.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;" /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6. Closed and open locker depends on the items you are selling. There are a lot of shoplifting nowadays. Some occurred when the staff are just too busy and some when they are too lazy. Open locker allowed easy access to the stuff you selling, even when the staff is busy. There are some people who walk away because the staff is busy. Open locker are have more damaged goods and shoplifting.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is a good way to start small business, there are people who started at the shelf business and managed to start their own shop. There are people who worked at this shop and learn enough to use these shops to making their living. However, more people actually just pay rent to learn a lesson. Think carefully about the costs and how much sales you can expect. </span></div>

We decided to take a bus down instead of the train. Firstly, it is only like 3-4 stops from our apartment and the busstop is just 3 mins walk away. Secondly, it was the first time that we are taking a bus in Japan. We followed Google map instructions and have no problem for our little bus ride.<br />
You can also use your Suica car for the bus ride.<br />

We were quite happy that we actually took a bus. We got off at Kitasando Entrance.There were beautiful ginko trees along the road on the way to Meiji Shrine. Such a beautiful sight. Autumn is a good season to travel as there are lot of vibrant colours and the weather is not too cold and not too hot. It was easy to navigate to Meiji shrine as we just followed the google map. After the entrance, we still need to walk around 5-10 minutes to the shrines.</div>

After watching the display at Meiji Shrine, we make our way to Harajuku. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was a Chrysanthemum exhibit. Not a very bit display but it was beautiful nonetheless. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are a lot of Chrysanthemum display in Japan during the month of November. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are into nature, November is month of the vibrant autumn leaves, the Chrysanthemum flowers and yellow ginkgo leaves.</div>

It is quite easy to navigate from Meiji Shrine to HArajuku. It is not that far but walking will take around 10-15 minutes depending on your speed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is good to plan both location together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a walk and exploring Meiji Shrine, it will be time to feast and shop at Harajuku.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a museum at Meiji Shrine that displays a lot of historial items including items being the Emperor and Empress. Entrance fee is 500yen. I never been there so I can give a review on it</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are a few stationS available to reach Tokyo STation. Definitely will choose the one with the least walking time unless you have a day pass to make use of.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got off at Akanebashi Station and follow signs and exits and definitely my Google map. Navigation is not hard. Just follow the crowd.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are 2 paths leading to Tokyo Tower, the closer one is a steep slope and the path further down is flat. If you with eldery or not one who like slope, walk further down and take the shorter and flat path</div>

Tips :</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. If you are exiting at the same station as me, choose the right path to the Tokyo Tower unless you don't mind slopes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Apply for the JCB card, you save $10</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Go around 1 to 1 .5 hour before sunset. Google sunset at Tokyo. It will give you ample time to take photos of the Tokyo tower in daylight and also a clear view of the buildings and landmarks. It will be hard to spot Mount Fuji and other significant landmarks.</div>

4. Choose a clear and bright day. The views will be better and clearer and the sunset will be beautiful. I did not manage to catch any sunset as it was too cloudy. I was quite disappointed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. If you are into night scenery, a tripod will be good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Do not plan to have your dinner at Tokyo Tower, the food choices was very limited. The food court food was just average. Not really worth my time and money.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never been to other observatory towers in Tokyo so I can't give my comparison.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is definitely worth going for me as I did not pay for the tickets. </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /><br /><br /> Tokyo train lines maybe complicated but with Google Maps. Things has become much much easily.<br /><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: large;"> Suica/PAsmo Card</span></u></b><br /><br />If you are doing a free and easy in Tokyo, you can buy a Suica / Pasmo card at the airport. For theThe card will cost 2000 yen, a deposit of 500 yen is automatically included in the price. The deposit can be claimed back ONLY in Tokyo, at by JR East stations for Suica, and participating private railway and subway stations for Pasmo. You can purchase both cards at the airport. There is no significant difference in price most of the time. Mainly is for the convenience of checking out the fare and queuing up to buy tickets and having to take out your money every now and then. However, it can't be used for shinkansen, limited express tickets and airport bus.<br /><br /><br /><br />For me, I bought the Suica card, it can be used in some other parts of Japan which include Osaka and Kyoto which I also visited.<br /><br /><br /> MOre information on <a href="http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pass/suica.html">Suica Card</a> and where to get it<br /><br />More information on <a href="http://www.pasmo.co.jp/en/buy/">Pasmo card</a> and where to get it<br /><br />Good read on both cards <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2359_003.html">http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2359_003.html</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b> One-day Pass</b></span><br /><br />There are more than 1 type of one-day pass available.<br /><br />If you do want to save some money, you can buy the pass only on days that you travel extensively.<br /><br /><br /> 1. Metro one day pass Adult 600 yen Child 300yen<br /><br /> At trip on the metro cost around 170-310 yen. If you make more than 3 trips, this is a good deal to get.

This is valid for 24 hours.<br /><br /><br /> 2. Toei Subway and Tokyo Metro One day pass. Adult 1000 yen child 500 yen<br /><br />This is valid for Toei Subway and Tokyo.

The Metro pass will be available at the metro station.<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.tokyometro.jp/en/ticket/value/1day/">More information on one day pass</a><br /><br /><b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br />GOOGLE MAP: How to navigate your way around Tokyo</span></u></b><br /><br /><br /> As I mentioned, Google maps work very well in Tokyo and other parts of Japan.<br /><br />Before you set off, you can plan your route. Google map will show you the different options available. If you have the metro pass, you will try to choose the one that suggest metro rides. And if you are someone on a budget, you can choose the one that is the cheapest or walk. If you are with elderly, choose the least complicated and the one with least walking.<br /><br /><br /> Key in the place you are going. You can choose my location. As I am back in Singapore, I can't choose my location. Walking is the cheapest. Jr line seems to the cheapest but takes the longest time and the walking time is almost the same as walking straight to the location.<br /><br />Fakutoshin line will be the metro line. The bus caught my interest the most as I have never taken the bus in Tokyo before and the walking time is shorter. I asked the hotel about the bus route, but they do not know anything about it.I went during autumn so the weather was good for walking. If you are going during summer/cold winter, maybe walking is not a good choice. The bus is good if you are not good with stairs but bus stop is not as clearly marked as train station. The good thing about walking is sometimes you catch some beautiful sights that you clearly don't expect to see.<br /><br /><br /> I am a bit paranoid about getting lost so I will be check whether the walking route is complicated as sometimes we missed a turn and we end up walking a much longer distance. I will keep my GPS on till I reach the destination to ensure that I don't missed out anything<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tuv-zbZ5FkU/WLZlex8F81I/AAAAAAAAvpc/GyoZfy1WTr4fyHpWEPESi5LIRFVxy6GfACEw/s1600/Capture%2B_2017-03-01-14-00-35_resized%2B%25281%2529.png"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tuv-zbZ5FkU/WLZlex8F81I/AAAAAAAAvpc/GyoZfy1WTr4fyHpWEPESi5LIRFVxy6GfACEw/s640/Capture%2B_2017-03-01-14-00-35_resized%2B%25281%2529.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />1.

For the walking part, I will definitely recommend you keep the GPS. They will tell you when to turn at every little junction. Will get there safe and sound and shortest possible time. Zoom in to see the important landmarks to make sure you are on the right track. And there is a little arrow when you are walking. Make sure your arrow is pointing to the direction of the road you are supposed to talk. I sometimes do a 360 turn to make sure I am starting on the correction direction.<br /><br /> Below is the preview. You can analyse the route to decide if it worth the walk. However, when you are walking and the GPS is on, you can instant update of your location so you will not be lost.<br /><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t_7p7-EU00o/WLZle_SjvrI/AAAAAAAAvpQ/Vgjze1_u0ccj7zmM6A1LzleoEt03hV0pwCLcB/s1600/Capture%2B_2017-03-01-14-01-35_resized.png"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t_7p7-EU00o/WLZle_SjvrI/AAAAAAAAvpQ/Vgjze1_u0ccj7zmM6A1LzleoEt03hV0pwCLcB/s640/Capture%2B_2017-03-01-14-01-35_resized.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-84lxPhCLgqY/WLZle9r4GXI/AAAAAAAAvpM/7XEhQZIoxRcbsOd9DMQCWxjZ0iGVsZ78QCLcB/s1600/Capture%2B_2017-03-01-14-02-03_resized.png"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-84lxPhCLgqY/WLZle9r4GXI/AAAAAAAAvpM/7XEhQZIoxRcbsOd9DMQCWxjZ0iGVsZ78QCLcB/s640/Capture%2B_2017-03-01-14-02-03_resized.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /> 3.

<br /><br />Ameyoko market.The name "Ameyoko" is a short form for "Ameya Yokocho" (candy store alley), as candies were traditionally sold there.<br /><br />Take the Jr to Ueno (Hirokoji Exit and cross the road and walk alone the right lane) or Okachimachi (North exit and cross the road and walk alone the left side) station. Ameyoko is a long stretch of shops so both stations are fine.<br /><br /><br />I visit Ueno park before walking to Ameyoko Market. Hence, I got down from Ueno Station<span style="background-color: white; color: #474747; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">.</span></div>

Sashimi by the roadside. Price range from around 800 yen to 100 yen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is situated near the snack store. Place your order, find a seat and enjoy your food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first visited Japan 8 years ago, lot of locals dine there. I think because of the influx of the tourist, most people who eat here are tourists and the food serving did become smaller. However, it is still sashimi at reasonable price and it is an interesting to try eating by the roadside. There are also a lot of similar small eateries serving this for people. There are eateries selling sushi and other food. No worries if you don't take raw food. There are also small shops selling takoyaki and other snacks. A great place for lunch and there are food to snack on while you shop.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cant really pinpoint the exact location of the shop. But it is just beside the shrine. There is this big supermarket selling all sort of Japanese snack at reasonable price. You can cart home a lot of snacks at reasonable price and the best of all, the packaging are simple. You are not bringing back air and cardboards. The best part of all is you spent 10 000 yen( please check with the staff whether it is 5000 yen or 10000 yen as I can't remember), you get tax refund. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love cuttlefish and this is the place to get them at reasonable price.</div>

You can either just take a look at them and just enjoy seeing the locals peddling their seafood. Or buy some and enjoy it in the hotel if your apartment has a kitchenette or microwave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is an interesting sight.</div>

There are sport apparels, anello bags, luggage, clothes, spectacles shops. Some of the sport apparel are having quite good deals. Be ready to shop.</div>

Ameyoko has changed since I last visited 8 years ago. Now, it cater slightly more to tourists. However, it is still an interesting place to be at, with delicious food, shopping, snacks and fresh seafood. And it is conveniently located near the train station. </div>

Firstly, Ueno park which is a great place for cherry blossoms. Ueno park's entrance is also free. Just follow the exit to Ueno park, cross the road and follow the crowd.

The park is not very big. If you are fast, within half an hour. If you taking photos and strolling around slowly. Maybe an hour or two. If you trying to take the perfect ootd photo, is dependent on photographer.</div>

There are shrines at the park for you to explore. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not visit the zoo and the museum so i can't say much. But I did hear my friends mentioned the kids have a great time there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the park, we walked a to Ameyoko market for lunch. Just walk along the main path, opposite the direction to the museum. From the founation, it wil take around 15minutes or so. We stopped by the shrines here and there so we took quite a while to reach Ameyoko Market<br />
