I figured Japan seniors’ secret to long life - daily walk to Meiji Jingu Shrine’s forest entrance. Aside from tourists, there are more locals coming here and I noticed a number of them were elderly. #tokyotravel #tokyojapan #tokyoforest #meijijingu #meijishrine #meijijingushrine #japan #tokyoshrines #meijishrinetokyo (at Meiji Shrine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGYj1bEAW4y/?igshid=ow9lr10wvjrl

In the midst of #Tokyo thrives a serene and spiritual forest. Walking in this thick forest made me think we were in a different part of Japan! #tokyotravel #tokyojapan #tokyoforest #meijijingu #meijishrine #meijijingushrine #japan #tokyoshrines #meijishrinetokyo (at Meiji Shrine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQJ1W2gEIW/?igshid=j5cygn5el2vt

I love how cute and picture-worthy Tokyo’s restaurants are. This one was near where we stayed. #tokyo #tokyotravel #tokyojapan #ikawugakotravelstokyo #ikawugakotravels #tokyorestaurants #tokyotrip #tokyojapantravel #japan #japanesefood #tokyofood (at Hatagaya, Shibuya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGbBmCAKJO/?igshid=fg7b8tept2o8

Empty street at past 9PM. After the Shibuya Crossing experience, we walked in an almost empty street towards our Airbnb. Hotels are quite expensive in #Tokyo. Thank God for Airbnb. Our room was just enough for the two of us and our luggage. #shibuyacrossing #shibuya #shibuyatokyo #shibuyascramblesquare #tokyo #tokyoshibuya #tokyotravel #airbnb (at Hatagaya, Shibuya) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGB9kgSAXzw/?igshid=6xvddhpkrp4b

This @caden_bag backpack is very efficient. It got compartments that fit our stuff such as: Laptop Cameras Camera lens Tripod Cellphones Chargers Notebook Water bottle And more... It is also affordable and quality-wise, it didn’t disappoint. #cadenbag #cadenbackpack #imperialpalacejapan #tokyoimperialpalace #japan #traveljapan #travelphotography #stillsandmotiontravels #tokyophotography #imperialpalacetokyo https://www.instagram.com/p/CF1SfbyAQ14/?igshid=1h8qagfqb9hfs

Amazed at how clean this city was! Walking around, I never saw any rubbish at all. Chiyoda is an economical powerhouse, the small area East of the palace houses the headquarters of 19 Fortune 500 companies, it is the source of roughly 10% of the combined revenue of all Japanese companies. On the other hand, look at how huge these buildings are! I wish we had more time to just walk around, snap some pictures but we still have to figure out the train route towards our #airbnb ‘coz it isn’t easy! #japan #tokyojapan #traveltokyo #travelphotography #streetphotographytokyo #photographytokyo #streetphotography #chiyoda #japanskyscraper (at Chiyoda, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzwJzlgNHf/?igshid=gldnafmx2uq4

At the heart of #Tokyo and just a few minutes away from the #TokyoStation is the #imperialpalace surrounded by massive stone walls. It is the residence of Japan’s Imperial Family. @jamesfigues and I waited for awhile so tourist would clear this area for some shots. #imperialpalacejapan #tokyoimperialpalace #japan #traveljapan #travelphotography #stillsandmotiontravels #tokyophotography #imperialpalacetokyo (at Imperial Palace Garden Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFs93wIgU4U/?igshid=18x5y1n0x5cby

Outside Tokyo Station, @jamesfigues and I walked towards the Imperial Palace. I have seen a lot of people riding bicycles in this area. Most are men but in the area where we stayed, most riders were women and their bicycles were customized to carry their kids with them! #tokyo #tokyojapan #chiyoda #japanstreet #streetphotographyjapan #traveljapan (at Chiyoda, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkwX9HA5GL/?igshid=1y24gb0gmz1qs

The #TokyoStation at the back! The main station façade on the western side of the station is brick-built, surviving from the time when the station opened in 1914. Tokyo Station is the main inter-city rail terminal in Tokyo. It is the busiest station in Japan, with more than 4,000 trains arriving and departing daily. -info from Wiki Its interiors were under renovation for the supposed 2020 Olympics. #tokyostationjapan #japan #travel #tokyo #tokyometro https://www.instagram.com/p/CFguquggmdF/?igshid=1v6tjij8yst7w

July of last year, @jamesfigues and I had a quick trio to the land of the rising sun! Here’s a #Tokyo view from the Metropolitan Building’s viewing deck. I guess this was the south side, not sure tho. Free entrance with no time limit! More Japan photos soon.
