Tokyo is one of my favorite cities, I've been to this bustling and vibrant metropolis a handful of times. It is an eclectic mix of ancient and modern characterized by well-preserved historic neighborhoods, neon lit districts, skyscrapers, centuries old temples and shrines, parks and many others.

I returned to Tokyo and was looking for a new place to visit. It was either Nikko or Kamakura, I decided to visit the latter because it was a possible day trip. Kamakura is a coastal district home to ancient temples, beautiful trails and a laid back vibe.


This guide might help you on how to go to Kamakura and things to see there.

I returned to Tokyo recently and decided to include teamLab Borderless. The museum wasn't open during my first visit in 2016. I've heard good things about it and simply put, I enjoyed my time exploring this digital art museum.

Tokyo is a bustling city; towering skyscrapers line the skies, neon lights lead to restaurants and bars and shopping centers light up the night sky in various districts. However, despite its modern facade, there are plenty of open and green spaces to just relax and slow down.

Tokyo, like most of the best cities in Asia I've been to, combines its past and present. Among the skyscrapers, trains and cars are old buildings, temples and shrines that date back to centuries ago. Part of the reason I enjoyed the city so much was the sense of being in two different epochs simultaneously.

I spent around 5 days for my Kyoto-Tokyo trip during autumn in 2015. It was nice to see the changing colors of the trees and the cool weather. I also learned a lot from a country that is decades ahead of the Philippines.

Glowing start for first Jetstar Japan’s Manila-Narita service

Jetstar Japan’s first international service from the Philippines has taken to the skies in a big way with its inaugural flight to Tokyo departing at full capacity, as travellers from Manila – and beyond – enjoy the new low-fares connection offered by Japan’s largest low-cost carrier.

The first Japanese low-cost carrier to operate services in Manila, Jetstar Japan’s inaugural flight from Manila to Tokyo departed at full capacity at 1.05am, arriving at Tokyo’s Narita Airport at 6.15am. This is the first of its three new international routes scheduled for roll-out in the coming month.
The success of the inaugural flight heralds a new dawn for travellers here and signals the support by local travellers for our brand and low fares to Japan, said Jetstar Japan’s Chairman, Mr Masaru Kataoka, in Manila today.
