Scramble Crossing

We visited Tokyo in March and Alex shot a lot of random footage. He compiled it into a typical travel montage, but then had some fun experimenting with a voiceover, and turned it into this weird little travel programme. He thought it'd be an interesting way to make, what is essentially a personal travel diary, into something more widely accessible. We both love Tokyo, and hopefully this video captures that and inspires you to take a trip to this wonderful place!

I'm not sure yet, actually

A few random shots during our 7-day vacation in Tokyo. We stayed at the Capitol Hotel and the Park Hyatt - both incredible choices. We visited famous districts like Shibuya, Harajuku, Roppongi, Shinjuku, Shimokitazawa, Aoyoma, and Nakameguro. We also went shopping at Omotesando, La Foret, and Cat Street. For food, we had tasty ramen at Menya Musashi in Shinjuku and ate the best omakase (similar to Jiro) at Sushi Ichi, located in Ginza. We went to Robot Restaurant -- the most bazaar experience I have ever had. We also dined at New York Grill and had drinks at the bar, where much of the movie Lost in Translation was filmed. We saw the best views of Tokyo there, along with Mori Tower and Tokyo Skyree. And finally, we visited old landmarks like Meiji Shrine and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden where we were so lucky to see the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom. There is so much to do, we didn't get to all the attractions but this is definitely a good place to start if you plan to go!

The likelihood of experiencing Shibuya, this empty, is pretty rare. Jet lag does have it's benefits, like in this case, a perfect photo opportunity -- crowd-free. But the downside of having such an early start is that nothing is open until 11am, so most mornings were spent aimlessly walking around while everything was closed. By Day 3 we learned our lesson and paced ourselves with a mega-breakfast -- a must in Tokyo, as you need all the energy you can get for all the walking required. My favorites were the buffets at the Captiol Hotel, the Cerulean Tower and of course, the Park Hyatt. Japan surprised me with its obsession for pastries; I must've stuffed myself with enough croissants to power me through the entire trip.
