I went to Japan twice last year of 2012 during the beautiful seasons of Spring and Autumn, and I realized that I haven’t posted anything about my second travel there (it’s really hard to put Japan experience in words!!)

Meanwhile, I’ll just post my first set of photos featuring the places around Tokyo Station during the Autumn season..

The time was around 4:30 in the afternoon but it seemed like 6 in the evening.

The Tokyo Station is also a hotel (Tokyo Station Hotel), a brilliant idea.

Tokyo Station is situated in Marunouchi business district of Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan Read more…

Marunouchi district is located between the Tokyo Station and the Imperial Garden Palace. Having the country’s three largest banks headquartered there, Marunouchi is the most prestigious business district in Japan.

Avenues in Marunouchi were lined with gingko trees turning yellow during autumn season running between the shopping buildings of the area.

In continuation of Ueno Park and Zoo Part I

Those people who wore mask were sick with cold or cough. It is to prevent bacteria or virus spread to other people. I wish Filipino people are like that as we are known to be brutal in public sneezing and coughing without covering our nose or mouth!

Submitting a “Daily Schedule” in Japan is one of the requirements when applying for a Japan tourist visa. While preparing for it, I needed to visit Japan tourist websites and look for realistic 12-Day itinerary in Tokyo, and that’s how I learned about the Ueno Park and Zoo.

The weather was cold that time so I decided to wear a coat which I borrowed from Mica. Under it, I was only wearing a shirt and a leggings which made me chill every time the wind blows. I should have worn a long-sleeved base layer under the coat.

It was my first time in Tokyo area and I witnessed how most people dress up. Despite the cold weather, some Japanese girls of my age managed to wear skirts or shorts. I thought that if maybe I will live in a country like this, my skin will get used to the weather and soon be wearing skirt or shorts during spring or winter season.

Upon arriving at Ueno Station, the place was already jam-packed with tourists and locals on their way to Ueno Park.

I was enchanted that I finally saw cherry blossoms up close and personal. I was surprised that they were not pink. According to Josh, they were not full bloomed yet and not all trees has pink blossoms. Read more…

It was cherry blossoms season and Ueno Park was jam-packed with tourists and locals when I spotted this cute chubby cheek baby while walking around.

His father lifted him up for an up-close view of cherry blossoms..

He was very delighted upon seeing it..

Grumpy when his dad put him down
