TOKYO JAPAN 🇯🇵❤️ FULL OF SURPRISES! FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Hey guys, today's Tokyo adventure shook us awake quite literally! An early morning earthquake gave us a stark reminder of Japan's shaky foundation. But, there's no room for fear in our schedule – Tokyo awaits, and there's so much to explore.

Anime Dream Destination in Akihabara

First up, we hit the streets to dive into the electric atmosphere of the Akihabara district. Calling all Anime fans, this is your dream destination! With an eclectic mix of books, technology, vending machines, and endless shopping, Akihabara didn't just meet our expectations – it blew them away. For us Westerners, it was vibrant, fascinating, and, honestly, a bit unusual. Fun fact: Akihabara is known as "Electric Town" due to its origins as a post-war electronics market and is now a mecca for otaku culture.

Meeting Crimson Global Academy Friends in Tokyo

One of the best parts about traveling? The friends you make along the way. Thanks to Crimson Global Academy, our girls have friends from all corners of the globe, and three of them live right here in Tokyo. Julia and Chloe had a blast catching up with one of them, turning an ordinary afternoon into an extraordinary one.

Tokyo Has a Statue of Liberty?

The adventure continued with a visit to the iconic Tokyo Tower, which, fun fact, is strikingly similar to the Eiffel Tower. The view from the top? Absolutely breathtaking. Tokyo Tower was completed in 1958 and stands at 333 meters, making it taller than its Parisian counterpart. For tickets, visit Tokyo Tower.

Next, we hopped on the monorail, snagging first-row seats for a scenic ride to one of the islands and back, passing Tokyo's very own Statue of Liberty. Smaller, sure, but an impressive replica of New York's famed statue. The Odaiba Statue of Liberty was originally a temporary exhibit but became a permanent fixture due to its popularity.

Sushi + Friends + Tokyo = FUN

The evening brought another round of fun with friends for Julia, proving once again that virtual friendships can transform into unforgettable real-life connections. Keeping friendships alive while traveling the world is both a challenge and a joy. Technology helps us stay connected through video calls, social media, and messaging apps, allowing us to share our adventures and stay in touch with friends we've met along the way. Meeting up with friends in Tokyo was a special moment, turning virtual bonds into tangible memories. Sharing sushi and exploring the city together made our connections even stronger.

From the seamless efficiency of its public transportation to the incredible convenience of vending machines on every corner, Japan truly caters to travelers. Did you know that Tokyo has vending machines that sell everything from hot meals to fresh flowers? Also, the Japanese culture of omotenashi (hospitality) ensures that visitors are treated with the utmost respect and kindness, making every encounter memorable.
