Let's enjoy Tokyo /w jetlag

Published: 01.11.2026

Attraction
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
Tokyo, Japan


(1) Let's start eaze..

„Most people don't know how much they overlook when rushing through the day. The more you want to achieve, the less satisfaction you find in the moment. That’s true in many cases, isn't it?“

小食 * しょうしょく

When I first came to Japan, it was honestly the exact same for me. But it’s a very common feeling, trust me – I felt the same way.

Because of this, I now make a promise to myself after every trip: plan at least one big activity per day, and let the surroundings do the rest. Your itinerary doesn't have to be massive to discover the 'real Japan'.

どんぐり (donguri)

(2) Do what makes you happy!

So you can hang out in the park, drink some coffee, go shopping and have fun! :) 

Sometimes it is good to start something boring and slow, to develop your journey so far.. you don't have to rush! 

In Japanese you can say: 「ippo zutsu de ii」 ~ "once after another is okay" (will be fine, similar to: more nicely -> step by step..)

let's start a travel diary! y not?

Why not start a travel diary at your next trip? Do you like it to write down some sentences or feelings during your travel? Feel free to comment in the answer section if you want to :)


(3) They say: "Go to the Tokyo Government Building once"

- it is for free, and it is awesome!

Let's focus a view from Tokyo Gov' Sky Building

Everything is working out! It is amazing to see, how the crowd is doing..

When visiting Tokyo, you should give it a try and visit the North- or the South Tower from the government building (keep attention of the opening hours, sometimes the other one is closed during maintenance operations)

After some sightseeing you want to refresh yourself with a nice tea or coffee specialty? It is a must! Sure, you have several tea specialities as well, but mostly Tokyo (and also Nagoya) is full of cute and awesome coffee shops.

banana cake & mont blanc coffee

And then.. search for Mont Blanc! *lol* never had such a tasty coffee specialty! (not in Starbucks or Komeda..) search a "coffee specialist" please.

I promise, the cream on the coffee is tastier, than it looks, you will get addicted. There is orange cinnamon topping on it, perfectly for an autum day.. 

At this time I had some brainfog and want to sit down, relax and write some things, to get more structured (it helped me a lot during the travel) this time..

Take your time, as you need it.

We will see us in Odawara again folks :)
