whether it was day or night. I never felt like I was in danger, and I can assure you that I have some experience with traveling (but please, don&#8217;t be the typical clueless tourist and be careless). The streets are so incredibly clean, you could almost eat off the ground. You won&#8217;t find trash bins practically anywhere, you have to take your trash back to your home or hotel and recycle it there. You also won&#8217;t see chewing gum on the ground (I think it&#8217;s not well seen to chew gum in this country), and nobody eats or talks on the phone while walking&#8230; Face masks are a common sight there (at least when I was there), everyone still wears them everywhere. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s mandatory, but due to culture and etiquette, people continue to wear them.<\/p>\n<p>The streets in the city center are very noisy, with speakers playing music, and some stores have their own music playing towards the street&#8230; So there&#8217;s quite a mix of sounds going on. To my surprise, I found very few cars (considering how huge the city is), and public transportation reigns in Tokyo (cars in Japan are not like in Europe, they almost look like toys, hehe).<\/p>\n<p>Not many people in Tokyo spoke English, so be prepared with some basic words and phrases that you think you&#8217;ll need, or get a SIM card to have the translator always ready on your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Hello = Konnichiwa<\/p>\n<p>Thank you = Arigato gozaimas<\/p>\n<p>Good morning = Ohayo gozaimas<\/p>\n<p>Please = Kudasai and\/or onegaishimas<\/p>\n<p>(I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s written like this, but it&#8217;s pronounced this way)<\/p>\n<p>The menus in restaurants are rarely in English, so the same thing, with Google Translate, you can open the camera and it translates it for you instantly, it was crucial for me on this trip.<\/p>\n<p>In my point of view, <strong>Kyoto is a must-visit<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t just go to Tokyo, I promise you won&#8217;t regret it, and if you don&#8217;t go, you&#8217;ll regret it for the rest of your life. I went alone and didn&#8217;t feel strange at any moment, as apparently, solo living is very normal in Tokyo&#8230; Even the restaurants are prepared for solo diners with dividers for a bit of privacy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82e5e8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"82e5e8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Flying to Tokyo<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e64969d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e64969d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f076e31\" data-id=\"f076e31\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a340652 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a340652\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>My route was:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fuerteventura &#8211; Frankfurt &#8211; Tokyo Tokyo &#8211; Miyakojima<\/p>\n<p>I used the Star Alliance flight alliance (in case you want to get a card to earn some points before flying). I flew with ANA (All Nippon Airways), and although the direct flight is quite long, 14 hours to go and almost 16 hours to return, at least it&#8217;s a <strong>direct flight from Frankfurt to Tokyo<\/strong> and you don&#8217;t have to make multiple layovers. Like all mega long flights, there is food and snacks between meals. For the outbound flight, I had to <strong>spend a night in Frankfurt<\/strong> at a hotel near the airport that had a shuttle bus for 5\u20ac to take me to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>As for the price&#8230; I won&#8217;t lie, my company paid for the ticket, so I have no idea about it.<\/p>\n<p>To go to <strong>Miyakojima<\/strong>, the flight lasted about 3 hours, like going from the Canary Islands to the mainland almost.

place to stay during my week-long vacation in Tokyo, I used the Booking app (this is not an advertisement, I wish it was, hehe). And for me, these 5 things were important:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>That it was close to the center of Tokyo.<\/li>\n<li>That it was close to a train\/subway station (since I knew that would be my preferred method of transportation).<\/li>\n<li>That it had views (many people had told me that hotel rooms in Tokyo are very small, and if I was going to have a small room, I at least wanted it to have views so I wouldn&#8217;t feel cramped).<\/li>\n<li>Price. I didn&#8217;t want a 5-star hotel, but I wanted my own bathroom and a decent bed.<\/li>\n<li>That breakfast was included (mostly for convenience, and to save me from having to search for a breakfast spot every day).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I was lucky to find a hotel&#8230; with views of Mount Fuji! This wasn&#8217;t mentioned in the hotel description nor did I know about it when making the reservation, it was pure coincidence, and I actually only saw it on the last day because the other days were cloudy.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, the hotel was quite decent, the room was compact but perfect for just me (perhaps a bit tight for two people with luggage). I asked to be placed on the highest floor of the hotel (14th floor), and I had views of the entire neighborhood where it was located, which I really enjoyed. As for breakfast&#8230; well, if you&#8217;re not an adventurous eater, it&#8217;s better not to order it. I had seaweed, various types of vegetables I had never tried before (and I travel a lot), and some unique soups&#8230; So if you like to experiment and experience a Japanese breakfast, this is the place for you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce7c4d9 elementor-position-left elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"ce7c4d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/room.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-13579\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/room.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/room-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/room-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/room-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\"><span style=\"text-align: start;white-space: normal\">El&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 700\">precio<\/span>&nbsp;estaba ok, por 6 noches con desayuno pagu\u00e9 48.000 yenes Japoneses que son 330\u20ac aproximadamente, a 55\u20ac la noche.

It can be purchased online before your trip or at the tourist information center in the main station of Tokyo. If your hotel is near a JR station in Tokyo, you can start using your Rail Pass to move around \"for free\" with your ticket. A 7-day Rail Pass costs around 200\u20ac, so it's worth doing the math. For me, it was a great deal as I traveled back and forth to Kyoto and several other places during my trip.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4a87e95 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4a87e95\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c42389c\" data-id=\"c42389c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f2fe38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f2fe38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The truth is that the trains, subways, and high-speed trains are amazing in Japan. They are ridiculously punctual, and if they are delayed by even one minute, the reason for the delay and the new arrival time is displayed on the screen. All trains run with high frequency, so you don&#8217;t have to wait long to move from one place to another. If you miss a train, another one usually arrives within 10 minutes at most.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: Google Maps works great, but it won&#8217;t tell you which routes you can take with the Japan Rail Pass (JRP) specifically; it will show you all options. Download the free app &#8220;Japan Travel for Foreigners Visiting Japan&#8221; and you can filter your preferences, such as &#8220;JR trains only,&#8221; &#8220;buses only,&#8221; etc. I used both apps to get an idea of the best route without having to pay extra (sometimes you think you&#8217;re going to a JR station, but it turns out to be another line and you end up paying extra).<\/p>\n<p>The stations are like a disco, with video game music and bird sounds, and the PA system is always booming, it&#8217;s a spectacle. They are well-signposted with signs in Japanese\/English&#8230; I got lost only twice out of around 40 trips I took \ud83d\ude42 I also used buses, as they are included in the JRP. Just like the trains, they are super punctual, and if they are delayed, the reason and new arrival time are specified. It&#8217;s another great option for getting around the city, although I personally preferred the trains.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

gems along the way. In any case, here&#8217;s a great tip: at Seven-Eleven and other convenience stores, you can find a lot of delicious and affordable prepared food, which can be a quick and convenient option when you don&#8217;t want to sit down for a meal.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some dishes that I recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Japanese Beef: I had it twice at the <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/gfFecdZDkrh5pRnL7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>same place<\/strong><\/a> because it was so delicious that I had to have it again:<\/li>\n<li>Ramen: You can&#8217;t come to Japan and not try it&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Monja: A typical dish from Tokyo, which is grilled vegetables with your choice of toppings, there are specialized places for it!<\/li>\n<li>Sushi: Even the one from the supermarket is delicious.<\/li>\n<li>Takoyaki: Yum!<\/li>\n<li>Various desserts: I think Japan is the king of sweets, with all kinds of desserts and ice creams.<\/li>\n<li>Omurice: Omelette over rice with a special sauce, a classic but tasty dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8015bc7 elementor-widget

The sun is extremely intense, so please remember to wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from sunburn.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-88740f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"88740f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98c1455 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"98c1455\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3da489dd-22de-49d8-9b7a-065fcd6bfa90-1024x767.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13650\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3da489dd-22de-49d8-9b7a-065fcd6bfa90-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3da489dd-22de-49d8-9b7a-065fcd6bfa90-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3da489dd-22de-49d8-9b7a-065fcd6bfa90-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3da489dd-22de-49d8-9b7a-065fcd6bfa90-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fuertejulia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/3da489dd-22de-49d8-9b7a-065fcd6bfa90.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The iQFOiL competition spot in Miyakojima, where I did wingfoiling and kitesurfing.
