Tokyo, Japan: backpacking in the land of the rising sun

Today, I begin a tour of Japan. Here I'm waiting for the train at the airport to go to Tokyo.

This bazaar in Ueno is full of cute eateries.

There are hardly any tourists in this bazaar. I joined a group of locals at their table for dinner and sake.

A bottle of sake. The locals helped me to order the food as the menu was in Japanese.

A packed train station.

Believe it or not, the weather is very cool, reminding me of winter in Shenzhen but this is the end of May.
