I had only 1 day to visit Tokyo.
Why?
I Wwoofed in Oohara and my host allowed only 1 day off. I don’t mind with that cause I prefer Osaka than Tokyo.
I woke up really early, rushed through my breakfast and rode the bicycle like crazy in that stormy weather to Oohara Station. Stopped by at the parking lot to park the bicycle there. The Japanese is so systematic that they have every single thing proper and organized which I find sometime insanely disturbing (cause I’m not that organized as a person ^^).

Thanks to my host, I managed to catch the rapid train at 8.05am from Oohara to Tokyo. What I like most about being in Japan is that they are very precise and punctual when it comes to train schedule (at least they tried to). Life is pretty much predictable and you can plan your itinerary with less worry.

Arrived 1 hour later and the first place I went to was Tourist Information Center (TIC) in Ginza. Initially I have always wanted to find the Sony Showcase in Ginza (thanks to the late Akio Morita)but due to the subway station’s renovation, I cancelled my intention. The guy’s English at the TIC was flawless so I have no problem. He quipped “I have met a few Malaysians before but not one with scarf”. Hehehe..I was first!
In half a day I went to these places:
