I want to go Here..

I always wanted to go to Japan.. Also one of my wish list to go there for honeymoon or holiday... Actually it is before my wedding but unfortunately we go somewhere.. Hu.. hu..hu..
I know it is somewhere difficult in comunication (rarely they speak in English even do I not really that good in English), Food ( not all the food halal or we have to eat the seafood only??) and the expenses are very high ( food, drink, living expenses so damn expensive..Whua..ha..ha.. :P)
This is because of that Anime & manga that I watch & read.. I want to go to Shibuya in a Tokyo ( because I watch this anime called 'Full Moon wo Sagashite' and other japan movies), Cheery Blossom Sightseeing in Spring and eat ( if I can eat they Takoyaki & Taiyaki - fish Shaped Cake)..
Oh went I will go there???







Tokyo is Japan's capital and the country's largest city.

Tokyo is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, but is called a metropolis (to) rather than a prefecture (ken). The metropolis of Tokyo consists of 23 city wards (ku), 26 cities, 5 towns and 8 villages, including the Izu and Ogasawara Islands, several small Pacific Islands in the south of Japan's main island Honshu.

The 23 city wards (ku) are the center of Tokyo and make up about one third of the metropolis' area, while housing roughly eight of Tokyo's approximately twelve million residents.

Prior to 1868, Tokyo was known as Edo. A small castle town in the 16th century, Edo became Japan's political center in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. A few decades later, Edo had grown into one of the world's most populous cities.

With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the emperor and capital were moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo ("Eastern Capital"). Large parts of Tokyo were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and in the air raids of 1945.




Kyoto was Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868. It is now the country's seventh largest city with a population of 1.4 million people and a modern face.

Over the centuries, Kyoto was destroyed by many wars and fires, but due to its historic value, the city was dropped from the list of target cities for the atomic bomb and spared from air raids during World War II. Countless temples, shrines and other historically priceless structures survive in the city today.
