Navigating Tokyo

My Navigating Tokyo page is now public.

I hope folks find it useful.

Deserved thanks go to those who made suggestions.

This page was promised some months ago when I did my Navigating Tokyo presentation at FanimeCon2013.

Additional suggestions corrections etc are most welcome.

Back to (entries on) Tokyo

This week I have an entry on a famous, though not in the West, Tokyo temple. Those of you who know the Tora-san movies will have seen this location in several of those films.

This week I have an entry for Kyōei-zan Daikyōji 経栄山 題経寺

For easy transit around Tokyo

This week I have an Anime Companion Supplement entry for one of my favorite small things that make visiting Tokyo easier. This is a card that you add value to and use in mass transit and elsewhere. Similar cards such as the Translink system in the San Francisco Bay Area do exist in the US. Rather than go into detail here I refer you to the entry for:

Suica スイカ

I highly recommend getting one of these cards when visiting the Tokyo area, when your trip is over just keep the card as the value on it is stored for 10 years and you will need it again on future trips.

Kabukicho

Kabukicho

Tokyo's entertainment center with everything from family fare to the very adult. Playground for Saeba Ryo in the City Hunter series and also seen in many films and anime.
