“You can’t understand a city without using its public transportation.”

Di tanggal 20 September 2017, sekitar pukul 07.00 waktu setempat saya sudah sampai di Haneda International Airport. Biasanya dari naik pesawat dan sampai di negara tujuan, ada kesan nervous di awal soal tantangan apa yang ada nanti contohnya transport dari bandara ke hostel bagaimana? Benar tidak ya rute yang saya ambil? Bicara soal transportasi di Tokyo yang sangat integrated berbarengan dengan njelimetnya. Sebelum mulai mengetahui rute-rute public transport di Tokyo, ada baiknya kalian lihat baik-baik peta kereta di atas. Ada JR Lines dan Tokyo Metro. Saya selalu menganggap JR Lines seperti PT. KAI dan Tokyo Metro adalah Transjakarta (tapi punya line buat kereta). Biasanya supaya mudah, banyak traveler yang langsung membeli JR Pass (kalo tidak salah harganya 3-4 juta IDR untuk seminggu). Kegunaannya, kalian dapat menggunakan ini untuk Shinkansen sebenarnya, but then again, tujuan kalian mau kemana? Kalau memang mau ke berbagai kota dalam 7 hari, pass ini menguntungkan. Berhubung trip saya kali ini hanya explore 2 kota, menurut saya justru malah buang-buang uang untuk beli JR Pass ini.

Akhirnya saya pergunakan kartu sakti yang lain yaitu Tokyo Subway Pass! Kartu ini dapat digunakan di semua Tokyo Metro dan Toei Subway Line dan untuk harga tergantung dari masa berlaku kartu tersebut.

- Tokyo Subway Pass 24-hour: 800 JPY

- Tokyo Subway Pass 48-hour: 1200 JPY

- Tokyo Subway Pass 72-hour: 1500 JPY

(Beda harganya dengan JR Pass sangat sangat jauh ya!)

Benar saja, dengan adanya subway pass ini sangat membantu untuk menekan biaya transportasi selama disana karena per sekali naik standarnya bisa mengeluarkan uang 240 JPY (30.000 IDR). Belum salah turun stasiun, nyasar dan segalanya.

Sebagai contohnya, dalam sehari kalian mau ke daerah Asakusa, Ueno, dan Akihabara, yang kalian butuhkan hanya Subway Pass tadi. Jika kalian mengandalkan hanya Suica/Pasmo saja per trip kereta bisa 240 JPY. If you using Pass, you don’t have to pay each of station you’ve destined to! Lumayan kan bisa makan di Gyukatsu Motomura kalo 240JPY dikali 3.

Pertanyaan kedua, tetep butuh IC Card (Pasmo/Suica) gak? Butuh dong! Loh buat apa? Gak praktis ah banyak kartu! Weits silahkan kalau mau bayar lebih untuk transport ya, saya tyda melarang. IC Card ini saya gunakan untuk Line kereta selain Tokyo Metro dan Toei Subway Line itu tadi. Misal mau ke Fujiko F Fujio Museum yang letaknya di Kawasaki, kalian butuh IC Card karena Pass tadi tidak cover rute kesana. Intinya adalah semua rute pasti dicover IC Card, hanya saja saya ingin hemat untuk hal produktif lain, jadi saya butuh Subway Pass.

WHERE TO BUY? Kalian bisa beli pass ini di Bandara Haneda/Narita. Kalo di Haneda belinya di Tourist Information Center, tepatnya setelah Custom Inspection ya! Kalian bisa beli langsung 2 tiket. Kemarin saya beli yang 48-hour dan 72-hour sekaligus. Berlakunya mulai pertama kamu insert pass di gate sebelum stasiun, nanti tertera tiketnya habis di hari apa hingga tepat jamnya di hari tersebut. So legit.

Dan rute saya dari Haneda ke Hostel kurang lebih seperti ini karena menggunakan Pass:

- Keikyu Line (Haneda - Sengakuji) -- Pasmo

- Asakusa Line (Sengakuji - Asakusa) -- Tokyo Subway Pass

- Tobu Skytree Line (Asakusa - Nishiarai) -- Pasmo

Kalau mau lebih nyaman? Mungkin naik taksi ide cemerlang tapi dengan segala kearifan lokal Jepang juga harganya, yang pastinya eyyymmmmmmmmmmmm yha gytu deh!

Salute!

Day 18: A small world after all

Yeah, I should've spent the whole day at Tokyo Disneyland. I needed a top-up of my pixie dust.

Got sick of the free hotel breakfasts, so I went for gyudon instead. I'm going to miss savoury breakfasts when I get back.

Zipped down to Shimbamba on the Keikyu Line to visit something I read about in Japan Times last month - the Home Run Jizo. It's a memorial to a child that struck up a relationship with Sadaharu Oh, Japan's home run king. I left a few coins to thank it for giving us good weather this trip.

From there, I scampered to the free observatory at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Mercifully the line was much shorter than when I tried the first round in Tokyo, and I was able to get up and take some snaps on the good camera. Even spotted Meiji Jingu Stadium!

Opted for a small nigiri set at Mikorezushi nearby.

Going to miss that, too.

Headed back to the hotel to repack and see if I went over my duty exemption (yes, I had, oh boy). Then it was off to Tokyo Disneyland. Tokyo Disney Resort offers a cheaper ticket if you enter after 6pm on weekdays, which is what I took advantage of.

Stopped in at Ikspiari (their version of a Disney Springs) for a craft beer (!) and currywurst. Pretty darn good!

And then, into the land. As soon as that background music hits, it's hard to be in a bad mood or sulk about the impending end of your vacation.

Even though my primary purpose for going was for souvenirs and the FastPasses for the day were gone (they haven't implemented FP+ like at WDW...yet), I was still able to get five rides in. Lineup gods be praised!

Star Tours: The Adventure Continues - I was the Rebel spy, and we had Hoth and Naboo as our destinations

Roger Rabbit's Car-Toon Spin - new to me, and some very good sight gags in here

Pooh's Hunny Hunt - a Tokyo exclusive, and vastly better than what Magic Kingdom has. The Tigger bouncing and Heffalump/Woozle scenes are spectacular

Monsters Inc Ride & Go Seek - another Tokyo exclusive. The car is meant to seat two, so I on my own got to use both flashlights in the ride. Made some people chuckle in the queue by trying to be an airport ground crew.

Pirates of the Caribbean - this one started off in a Louisiana bayou since it abuts the Blue Bayou restaurant before becoming the standard ride. And yes, the redhead is still up for auction here.

The fireworks got nixed due to wind, and I skipped the parade - pretty sure these helped me get on as many rides as I did.

Checked in with Nick afterwards and we decided on one last ramen run for the trip.

(those bamboo shoots are actually his - oops!)

I'm writing this before checking out of our hotel. We've got lunch planned at an Iron Chef restaurant, and then we're bound for the airport. I have juuuust enough yen to see me through.

I'll do a final trip report once I'm home and lucid, and then start uploading the pictures from my DSLR.

Japan Log Day 1

I kind of want to create a log of my time in Japan. I think it’d be fun, and from what I’ve heard, I’d be able to remember my trip better! There may be a day delay for me, at least for day one because that was all flying and lemme tell you, after a 13 hour flight, a 3 hour flight felt like NOTHING, haha. I felt like I played on my DS for a half hour and it was over. So, I don’t know when entirely I’ll post these, or if anyone cares, but I don’t. Because it’ll be fun for me to look back on and remember ;)

Day one - The day of insane travel

Our journey began as most other journeys do, of sitting at home, counting away the hours and having panicked thoughts of what you still need to do and what’s been done. My way of coping was to blast music - sorry Tegan - and stare blankly at a wall. Not productive when packing was half done. Luckily, I got everything ready about an hour before my friend came to pick me up. About ten minutes before, I began to stress clean. I guess that’s exciting? Lilia’s parents graciously took us to Vancouver In'tl Airport (YVR)- Canada. The car ride felt short. Shorter than I thought it was to get to the border. Right before we hit, we got to see the tiny little peace arch. Cool! Going in, the border guard is looking over our passports, doing the routine questions.

Then, he leans in and goes “Alauna?” and I sheepishly correct him as he clearly wasn’t quite sure how to pronounce my name. He informs me that I need to sign my passport and I need to do that before I check in at the airport otherwise they may not let me fly. OOPS! Luckily Lil’s dad had a pen that I could use otherwise I’d have to hunt for somewhere to sell a pen at the airport at MIDNIGHT! Getting into the country, I receive a text from my mobile provider. CONGRATS! T-Mobile works in Canada text/data free, call 20c/min. Neat!

After a pretty good wait in line - China Eastern is apparently a very popular company - and chatting with the nice lady in front of us we reach the airline official. Neither of our passports scanned into the computer. Probably because Lilia’s is 9 years old, mine’s 1 month. He was very kind, making sure that we knew our layover was between two different airports in Shanghai (more on that later, ugh) and asked us if we had any illegal items to which we both said no. He smiled and said “I trust you two, you both look very trustworthy”. He then noticed that we were seated at least 10 rows away from each other. With our permission he changed our seats to be together. Once he got our tickets, he pointed out what information we needed to know. Lilia got seat C, he was going to be in seat B, I in A …. wait. There is no seat B! :P With a very heartfelt thank you, we asked where the gates were and said our farewell.

Getting up to security, was a very small line with a long wait. It looked like the officer’s battery had died on his scanner and had to get a new one. Oh well. After that, it took about 2 seconds to make sure our tickets were valid - phew! and go onto phase two with the bag screening. They instructed us to put laptops in a separate tray. Confusedly, I ask the man why. He mentioned because laptops could be bombs. Which, I never thought about and by the look on my face, he must have understood and had a small smile as we thanked him. Lilia got through security fine. The metal detector beeped for me. Contrats, I’m wearing a bra, because that was literally why the detector beeped for me. Past that, we walked through a small mall with a bunch of stores, and very glittery flooring. Our gate was easy to find, and had a subway near us. We just got chips and ginger ale as we both weren’t feeling fantastic.

There’s not much meant to be said for the flight. Although, as it took off, Lilia looked at me and said; “I regret every jet I crashed in GTA 5”

It was nearly 13 hours and insane. Neither of us slept much, which sucked. But, at least it was quiet as pretty much everyone else did sleep. Except for one guy in the row beside us whose entertainment screen wouldn’t turn off and he was trying to sleep so he had his jacket backwards to cover his face LOL. I did kind of feel bad for him since it was legitimately malfunctioning. Their movie selection was pretty bomb. Lilia and I synced up our screens so we watched Furious 7 together. The airline provided us dinner. I accidentally got shrimp noodles, which thank you that my medicine works, and Lilia got some sort of beef patty and rice. There was also some sort of custard that was similar to cheesecake, but not entirely. It was delicious. We both tried to sleep for a while. Gave up. We got breakfast which was two adorable hash-brown patties, an omelette, and a very undercooked, disease sausage link which neither of us touched. At that point, Lilia started up Day After Tomorrow, and I started Secret Life of Pets … which got interrupted a total of a billion times. I managed to finish SLoP right before they cut off entertainment for landing purposes.

The drive after landing and getting to our gate was probably half the time of our flight. We get another text from T-Mobile. Welcome to China! Your phone has free texting, call 20c/min, and 2g unlimited data! AWESOME!

Immigration was easy, whom also informed us that our connecting flight was in a separate airport, security was easy (they have thermal screening, so that was definitely interesting!), and getting our luggage was SUPER easy. Customs, we had nothing to declare so went through that line no prob, and exited the airport into a throng of people all shouting ‘taxi!’. One guy dogged us for a long time and we eventually rolled with him as the bus to take us to Honquaio was in another hour and we only had four before our other flight. Driving in Shanghai is terrifying. Our driver nearly creamed 2 people on mopeds, and almost hit countless other cars. I never want to drive in Shanghai. As nice as the city was, there was no telltale building style, and all the buildings were insane colors. I saw an apartment complex that was hot pink. OK. We arrive at the airport, to where the cabby swindled us out of a little more money than what we agreed on, but both of us were tired and didn’t care at that point. The line in this airport was about two times longer than YVR, but went quickly enough. Again, getting to our gate was super easy, and we had about an hour of downtime before boarding.

Second flight felt way too short, and they provided us with spaghetti and another of those delicious cluster squares! Hell yeah. I think I played my DS for the entire time, but it was hard to tell since the flight felt super short.

Getting into Japan, immigration was NUTS. The line was insanely long, although it went quickly. Got fingerprinted so if I crime in Japan, they’ll know it was me. Shucks. Too bad I wasn’t planning on anything anyways. We both had our first experience with a Japanese western toilet which I’m now convinced they all have bidets since our hotel toilet has one too. FYI, the seats are very warm when you sit on them, and the one in the airport played gentle music to mask the fact that I had the best racehorse pee in the universe. Sorry, TMI? We get ANOTHER text from T-mobile. HOORAY! Your phone works! Free text, 20c/min call, 2g unlimited data! WHAT?! I wasted $40 on SIM cards before we left, and now we don’t need them! Oh well, lol.

Hitting up the international ATM, my card was declined. WHAT!? I had called my bank, so they should know I’m here! I managed to get the attention of an airport lady who graciously tried helping, but it declined for her too. Lilia was able to get out some cash. What the heck?! We asked the airport lady where the Keikyu line was and if Pasmo was over there, and she instructed us what to do. We thanked her for her time and assistance. Meanwhile, there was another American having the same problem as I. I noticed his card had a chip. Lilia’s didn’t. Ding ding, it’s the chip. We got sodas and some Japanese candy and a fruit cup, got Pasmo’s and went to the station towards Kawasaki - after a little help as we didn’t see our stop.

The train wasn’t too terribly crowded. But, went approximately the speed of a fighter jet. My shoulder and back is still sore for hanging on for dear life while making sure my luggage didn’t go anywhere. There was a lady I kept bumping into and I kept apologizing whenever I did though she just smiled and told me it was OK. There was also a nice man there who watched us to make sure we were OK and whenever another train passed us, make a slight thunking noise, probably had a great internal laugh at my face whenever I had a slight panic about it.

Getting off the station and heading down some steps, there are apparently designated sides which you move. We went down halfway the wrong way, realized, and moved over with our luggage. Sorry! Walking here is definitely interesting. There’s people crossing the streets, not even really looking. I think we saw 1 personal car on our walk to the hotel.

Getting into Noanoa was easy. Manager was SUPER nice, got our luggage taken to the room, and let us stay in the spa room while we waited the last hour before the official check-in time. While there, Lilia opened up her fruit cup, which has jello instead of juice, and I had my candies which were DELICIOUS, and apparently limited time, so guess what I’m buying more of once I get cash? Because Japan is a very cash-heavy type of country.

Our hotel room is a little small, but nothing we can’t handle. I’m sure Lilia feels weird actually being on par or taller than most the people we’ve passed walking to the hotel. We spent half the day exploring the tiny room, seeing what was on TV and being very confused over a child’s show before turning it off. We figured out google translate, and have translated pretty much everything in our room. We still need to figure out the unit on the wall, but we at least know lighting, what the controls are on the bidet, and how to work the mechanical nightmare that is the shower. We put on a Youtube show that we both like, and I crashed just before 7PM after roughly 24 hours of travel and not sleeping. Lilia poked me awake and we officially went to bed around 7PM.

We have not eaten since at least noon on the flight, and it’s going on 14 hours. Yeesh.

Our plans today, as I’m finishing this up around 2PM, is to visit an actual bank so I can hopefully withdraw cash, find somewhere to eat, and hit up a couple parks and museums. There’s also the Keihin Fushimi Inari shine that we’ll probably explore. Today is slotted to be a low-key day as we’re both pretty tired even after sleeping for a solid 12+ hours.

Typhoon Faxai hits Japan, over 100 flights cancelled, millions without power

Typhoon Faxai, which made landfall early Monday morning in the coastal city of Chiba, brought heavy rain and winds of 120 miles per hour, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The storm then moved over Tokyo and paralyzed transport. Major subway stations in Tokyo were crammed full of commuters on Monday morning, all stuck waiting for bullet trains and subway services that had shut down. Typhoon Faxai, packing winds of up to 216 kilometres (134 miles) per hour, made landfall in Chiba just east of the capital before dawn, after barrelling through Tokyo Bay. About 5,000 people in Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures were ordered to evacuate, public broadcaster NHK reported on its Twitter feed. More than 100 flights to and from airports in the Tokyo area were canceled on Monday, including 49 Japan Airlines flights and 41 by All Nippon Airways, according to the airport website. The entire Keikyu rail line, which connects Tokyo and Yokohama to Haneda Airport, is still suspended. Highways were shut down, departing ships were canceled at Tokyo Port, and rail lines closed on Sunday and Monday. Authorities issued non-compulsory evacuation warnings to more than 390,000 people, as forecasters cautioned the rain and wind could reach “record” proportions. Nearly 290,000 households lost power in the region, while at least 10 houses were damaged in Shizuoka with windows shattered and cars flipped onto their sides, according to local media.

Barley Wheat The Bottom Line

If you’re in the area, then Barley Wheat is the best choice in the wilderness that is Kamata – just. It doesn’t differ much from the Barley Wheat Hamamatsucho branch, though personally I found the beer menu to be rather narrow in terms of variety of beer styles on tap – the IPA craze is still strong here. There is a small smoking box near the entrance that stops most of the smoke from coming in; however, Barley Wheat also tacks on a table charge (¥324), as well as not including tax in their prices either. Thankfully, there is some free WiFi in the area too, so you can check in on your phone while you’re waiting for the delicious food to come up.

Barley Wheat The Full Review

Barley Wheat opened in September 2016 in an area of Tokyo that I’ve never got off at – I mean Kamata for me is used as a changing point to get to Haneda Airport when needed. It’s not like I’ve ever thought “oh, let’s explore Kamata” but now it has some craft beer bars, I guess that was a much needed point to get me there.

Barley Wheat is located on the west side of Kamata station, which connects the JR station with the Tokyu line and is about a five-minute walk. Barley Wheat is found alongside the main shopping street that lies in front of the railway arches. Inside, there is space for about 60 people, with the majority at tables dotted around the bar, and a few seats at the counter too. While the main area of the bar is non-smoking, there is a small booth by the entrance that smokers can enter. I didn’t really notice the smell at the beginning of the night, but it was noticeable when I left. However, there is a table charge of ¥324 (including tax) that gets you a small jar of either giant corn or some dried bananas. You can’t refuse them and it’s unknown how long they have been sitting out on the table for, so I gave them a miss – knowing how dirty Japanese toilets can be at times, the last thing I wanted to do was touch these nuts.

Shiga Kogen IPA・志賀高原IPA

Swan Lake Weizen・スワンレーイクヴァイゼン

Shiga Kogen House IPA・志賀高原ハウスIPA

There are usually 15 taps of beer on at Barley Wheat, with the beers coming in two sizes – regular (330ml) for ¥700 to ¥900, and pint (473ml) for ¥900 to ¥1,200. There is also a beer tasting flight of any three 150ml beers for ¥1,300. None of the prices included tax, so factor that in, and also the beers came up ice-cold, so let them warm up before drinking, else you’ll miss out on all the flavours. There was a heavy leaning towards IPAs on the menu, and also ignore the colours of the beers on the menus – they really didn’t come up that colour!

The food at Barley Wheat is heavy geared towards meat, though there are some vegetarian options on the menu. The ribs were nice and juicy, and the salad was large – and of course there were chips but I ignored them as I have to branch out my diet. Unfortunately, none of the menus were in English so you best know some katakana at least before coming here.

Perjalanan Jepang 2018 (PART 1)

PART 1: PERSIAPAN HINGGA HARI PERTAMA

1. Persiapan dimulai dari ketika teman saya mau pergi ke Jepang bareng adik dan mamanya, saya bilang bakal ikut kalau dapat tiket di bawah Rp5 juta. Dia beli di Japan Travel Fair di Kokas bulan Agustus 2017 kalau ga salah, saya beli di Kompas Travel Fair bulan September 2017 dapat harga Rp5,040 juta dapat cashback jadi Rp4,740 juta. Pesawatnya ANA, berangkat ke Tokyo Haneda sampai sore, pulangnya dari Osaka Kansai malam sampainya pagi, transit Haneda. 2. Kemudian bulan Oktober 2017 saya cari akomodasi di airbnb dan dapat di Tokyo daerah Kanegafuchi dan Osaka daerah Shin-Imamiya. Harganya beda, tapi kalau ditotal rata2 per malam dapat sekitar Rp170.000. (Saya ambil 4 malam, 1 malam di bus malam) 3. Lalu saya book tiket bus malam dari Tokyo ke Kyoto, lupa bulan Desember 2017 atau Januari 2018. Dapat harga 3.000 yen ada colokan listrik tapi ga ada toilet. Berangkat dari Tokyo jam 10 malam sampai Kyoto jam 6 pagi. 4. Bulan Januari 2018 saya cari-cari SIM card buat komunikasi selama di sana karena roaming Indosat buat saya mahal. Tadinya mau pakai U-Mobile 7 hari yg 2.000 yen unlimited data tapi akhirnya beli di Klook karena nemu yang pas 6 hari. Sekarang cek harga di Klook 1.056 yen, dulu saya beli sekitar Rp120rb. 5. Saya persiapan bawa beberapa makanan dari Indonesia yaitu mi gelas, bubur oatmeal, saus sambal, biskuit, keripik kentang, kari ayam chef (lupa nama merek pastinya, keluaran indofood) dan sosis. Sosis disita soalnya di formulir customs saya bilang bawa sosis. Ga boleh bawa meat products ke Jepang, nah kari ayam itu saya sebenarnya lupa udah bawa apa ga dan ternyata letaknya agak tersembunyi, ga tau deh kalau petugas lihat disita juga apa ga. Kalau ga bilang bawa sosis mungkin ga disita, tapi saya takut kalau ga declare terus diperiksa bakal didenda.

25 Februari 2018 (Minggu) 6. Ada sedikit delay pada keberangkatan karena menurut jadwal sampai pukul 16.00 tapi akhirnya sampai pukul 16.30 (diemail sekitar 1 bulan sebelumnya). Pas di antrean imigrasi saya sempat takut soalnya lupa print bukti airbnb untuk di tokyo. Untung udah nyatat alamat dan no hape hostnya. Saya pakai visa waiver dan berhasil lewat imigrasi tanpa ditanya-tanya. Selesai imigrasi sekitar pukul 17.00 dan bagasi sudah siap diambil. Teman saya masih di belakang tapi saya banyak yg harus diurus dulu, dan airbnb saya lebih jauh dari bandara daripada tempat teman saya menginap jadi saya duluan. 7. Saya coba tarik uang di ATM Japan Post, menyesal banget karena ratenya cukup tinggi. Pas saya tukar uang di Indonesia rate 128,3 pas disana sekitar 136,4. Biaya administrasi 216 yen untuk penarikan 20.000 yen. Katanya kalau 7 Bank lebih bagus ya ratenya? Tapi mungkin kapan2 saja saya cobanya. Dari rumah saya cuma bawa 20.000 yen kayaknya kurang aja 😂 8. Saya ambil SIM yang sudah dipesan dari Klook di counter EASYGO lantai 2. Pas setelah keluar imigrasi dan customs. Ada tulisan MEETING atau apa gitu. Pas dipakai di sana lancar jaya. Kuota kalau ga salah 1 GB FUP unlimited. 9. Kemudian saya isi kartu ICOCA (punyanya itu karena dulu pertama kali ke Jepang mendarat di Kansai) 7.000 yen (saya udah budgetin perjalanan saya, mahal memang). Setelah mencari di www.hyperdia.com, lalu naik kereta Keikyu Airport Kaitoku langsung ke Asakusa (620 yen) dilanjutkan Tobu Skytree Line dari Asakusa ke Kanegafuchi (170 yen). Dari Asakusa yang berhenti Keikyu harus keluar dan masuk ke stasiun Tobu, ngelewatin jalan raya dulu. Akhirnya sekitar pukul 19.00 saya sampai di area airbnb, sempat bingung rumahnya yang mana tapi akhirnya ketemu setelah 10 menit mencari. Tadinya mau jalan2 bareng teman ke Akihabara, tetapi dia sulit dihubungi dan akhirnya sekitar pukul 20.00 dia menghubungi baru sampai hotel. Akhirnya tidur aja deh. Dingin banget saya sampai ke toilet beberapa kali, memang beseran sih haha. Area sekitar airbnb saya sangat sepi dan sempat merasa takut, tetapi Alhamdulillah saya selamat. Kamar airbnb saya di lantai 2, kasur futon dan lantai tatami. Ada pemanas. Kamar mandi dan toilet di lantai bawah. Peralatan dapur cukup lengkap ada kompor, panci, penggorengan, oven, microwave, pemanas air, alat makan dll mungkin karena yang punya rumah koki. Tapi ga ada area umum jadi saya makan di dkt dapur ada tempat di bawah tangga. Host saya kerja malam pulang pagi jadi ga ketemu, baik banget hostnya mau nyediakan sarapan, tetapi saya rencana berangkat pagi terus jadi saya bilang ga usah nyediakan sarapan. Akhirnya waktu saya check in dia beliin makanan cukup banyak di 7-11 sayang saya ga bisa makan semua karena banyak yg mengandung daging (bisanya makan halal). Paling makan onigiri, salad, dan melonpan semoga halal (udah cek bahan dengan Google Translate). Pengeluaran hari ini di luar belanja pribadi: -Tarik tunai dari ATM 20.000 yen sekitar Rp2,7 juta -Isi ICOCA 7.000 yen B E R S A M B U N G... Ke PART 2: TOKYO 1

EMBLEM HOSTEL NISHIARAI: A Review.

Sudah agak lama teman saya post soal pergi ke suatu negara sebut saja Cambodia dan bilang kalau hal yang buat inspirasi dia kesana adalah tulisan saya di blog ini. Agak gak menyangka aja tumblr saya ada yang baca sebenarnya. Hal simpel itu ngebuat saya seneng sih (apaan banget sih lu, shin?).

Awalnya memang saya menulis soal catatan perjalanan hanya untuk jadi memori aja, atau mungkin nanti ada rencana lagi ke suatu kota yang pernah disambangi bisa liat ke catatan itu tadi. Tapi emang beneran seneng kalo apa yang saya tulis bisa bermanfaat untuk orang lain.

Sebelum lanjut ke Day 2 saya di Jepang. Ada baiknya saya akan review mengenai tempat saya tinggal. Disclaimer: saya travel kesana engan konsep budget travelling, maka dari itu menginap di Hostel wajib hukumnya. I will start with its location.

LOKASI DAN AREA SEKITAR

Setelah kontemplasi cukup panjang di depan laptop dengan tampilan dari www.hostelworld.com, akhirnya mantapin dengan pilih ini. Lokasinya cukup jauh dari downtown Tokyo, tapi untuk attraction kaya Asakusa, Ueno, dan Akihabara, hostel ini cukup dekat. Hanya sekali naik kereta. Karena saya mengandalkan Tokyo Subway Pass, maka lokasi ini tidak masalah. Selain itu jarak hostel ke stasiun terdekat (Nishiarai Station) itu deket bgttt! Di sekitar hostel juga ada AEON Mall, Mos Burger, McD, dan KFC. Jadi untuk akses ke tempat makan dekat semua. Lingkungan hostel juga serene, enak buat istirahat.

KAMAR DAN FASILITAS

Hostel kebanyakan punya dua tipe kamar. Private or Dorms. Kalau yang private sama kaya Hotel dan Dorms itu yang satu kamar bisa ber 4, 6, 8, 12 bahkan sampai 32! Sebagai orang kere yah saya ambil yang dorm, dan karena saya berdua Ibu saya, jadi saya pake yang sekamar hanya 4 orang khusus wanita. How lucky both of us, saat itu kamarnya kosong jadi kami berasa landlord disitu. Di emblem hostel ini dorms nya ada yang mixed dan ada yang khusus female.

Disini kalian harus kasih uang deposit buat jaminan kartu akses masuk kamar ya jadi sangat aman. Kamar juga rapi, sangat. Di tiap bed ada colokan listrik, lampu baca, serta tirai! Bagi saya ini penting ya tirai, karena suka males liat orang bersliweran. Kasurnya juga empuk dan selain itu disediakan handuk tiap bednya. Ini ngebantu banget sih handuk.

Kamar mandinya ada di setiap lantai dan dipisah untuk yang toilet dan khusus shower jadi yah gak keganggu sama bau-bau lucu gitu. Kamar mandi juga tersedia hair dryer untuk mengeringkan rambut. Sudah disediakan sabun, shampoo, bahkan kondisioner dan semua disama ratakan brand nya yatiu Shiseido! Rupanya disana Shiseido itu layaknya Wardah kalau di Indonesia. CMIIW. Toiletnya juga pastinya ala Jepang dengan tombol-tombol khusus itu. So sopisticated. Lampu kamar mandi juga menggunakan sensor, jadi akan menyala ketika ada seseorang lewat. Kalau gak ada orang tapi nyala? Wah gak tau juga ada apa yah.

Di lobi juga tersedia kafe dan dispenser infused water lemon yang gratis! Jadi sebelum pergi biasanya sih refill tumbler kosong dulu. Astaga aku memang murahan!!

HARGA

Harganya untuk yang dorms ada di kisaran 1800-2800 JPY. Yang paling murah itu mixed dorm 12 orang. Gakpapa sih menurut saya pasti yang 12 orang juga udah nyaman banget. Harga itu untuk weekdays ya, kalau di weekend harganya bisa lebih mahal.

Reservasi bisa dilakukan langsung di web hostelnya http://emblemhostel.com/ atau bisa via Hostel World.

UPSHOT

It is all in when it comes to Emblem Hostel Nishiarai. Kekurangan hanya lokasi yang agak jauh dari Downtown Tokyo, but I dont mind. Kerapihannya yang sangat saya bold disini. Dan staff nya juga sangat ramah! Jadi ceritanya saya sewa wifi di www.econnectjapan.com dan minta dikirimkan ke Hostel, awalnya staffnya tidak menemukan di kotak pos, mereka pun langsung mencari dan akhirnya ketemu juga. Saya nginep disini juga setelah pulang dari Kyoto dan dikasih snack. Lucu juga yah hospitalitynya! Saya juga dikira bisa bahasa Jepang disini padahal ampun deh yang basic aja. Bahkan mereka kadang suka lupa langsung nyerocos pake bahasa Jepang terus muka saya udah linglung gitu. But yeah, it has a great experience to stay in Emblem Hostel. Certainly, will be back if universe lets me to explore Tokyo again.

TRANSPORT FROM HANEDA AIRPORT TO NISHIARAI

1. Haneda Intl Terminal - Sengakuji: Keikyu Line - 410JPY

2. Sengakuji - Asakusa: Asakusa Line - Tokyo Subway Pass

3. Asakusa - Nishiarai: Tobu Skytree Line - 240JPY

Several photos are mine and others from Hostel World.

Mengenang Tokyo (Termijn Pertama)

April 2015.

Pagi-pagi sekali setelah sholat subuh dan goler-goler selonjoran lagi di kursi bandara Haneda. Kami mencari kereta menuju destinasi pertama.

Sangat excited! Atau mungkin terlalu excited even kedinginan semalaman. Tapi dasar orang kayak saya ini ‘tempel-molor’ jadi ya merem aja di manapun berada. Mbalela yang nampaknya agak nggak tidur.

Oke. Kami harus cari kereta bernama Keikyu Airport Line dengan tujuan Asakusa Station. Karna kami akan pergi ke kawasan Asakusa. Kalo ngga salah harga tiketnya 660 Yen. Di dalam kereta, (beberapa orang sempat menatap kerudung kami dengan aneh), saya melihat keluar jendela dan bilang ke diri sendiri: “Selamat Datang di Dunia Dorama, Ci!”.

Bangunan-bangunan di luar jendela kereta dan para penumpang kereta. Persis seperti yang saya lihat di dorama. Yang laki pada pake suit yang warnanya mayoritas hitam (man in suit is always looked good, huh?) yang perempuan pada pake long coat yang warnanya mayoritas krem/khaki gitu.

Sampai di Stasiun dan menitipkan barang bawaan di loker, (harga sewa loker 300 Yen), kami lalu jalan kaki menuju kawasan Asakusa.

Asakusa ini semacam tempat wajibul wajib yang mau liburan ke Tokyo. Emang apaan? Kuil. Haha. Kuil banget, nih? Engga sih. Banyak shopping streetnya. Kami sampai sana jam 6 lewat.

Krik. Krik. Krik. Sepi!

Toko-toko belum buka. Kuilnya masih dipakai beberapa orang berdoa. Halamannya ada nenek-nenek jalan sama anjingnya.

Tapi saya suka. Maksudnya, jadi bisa leluasa memperhatikan sekitaran Tennoji Temple pas benar-benar sepi. Hingga akhirnya.. Kami kelaparan dan masuk ke Lawson, beli onigiri dan baumkuchen (pertama kali makan baumkuchen! Dulu pernah lihat di tivi cara/proses bikinnya). Rasa baumkuchen? Kayak lapis legit.

🌸

Musim semi di pagi hari untuk warga Pantura macam saya? Bencana. Dinginnya nggak kira-kira.

Kami akhirnya masuk ke cafe kecil. Pesan 2 teh hangat dan cheesecake. Duduk bengong kedinginan. Isinya emak-emak Jepang lagi ngerumpi (kata Mbalela). Cafenya lucu. Agak-agak vintage gimana gitu. Sayangnya saya lupa mencatat nama cafe dan letaknya. Yang pasti dia doang yang buka pagi-pagi.

🌸

Keluar dari cafe.

Mulai rame banget di luar. Toko-toko sudah buka dan kami pun mulai lupa waktu. Tips: belanja oleh-oleh di sini aja. Sedikiiiiiit lebih murah dari tempat lainnya. Tapi ada yang mahal juga. Jadi harus dibandingin mana yang murah, baru beli. Saya beli semacam gantungan kunci, tempelan kulkas, sumpit, teapot keramik, dll di sini.

Termasuk tiba-tiba kami berdua beli jaket. Gimana lagi, yang kami bawa dari rumah sungguh sangat tidak mampu menghalau dinginnya udara. Kami menghabiskan terlalu banyak waktu di Asakusa situ. Harap jangan ditiru.

🌸

Kami pun balik ke Stasiun Asakusa, naik kereta bawah tanah “Tokyo Metro Subway” (oemji I miss that train). Menuju Inaricho Station lalu jalan kaki ke Oak Hotel tempat kami menginap. Hotelnya terletak di Higashi-ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo. Nomer telponnya +81358280551. Beberapa menit jalan kaki dari Inaricho Station. Resepsionisnya mas-mas tampan yang ramah dengan bahasa Inggris beraksen Jepang, namanya Takumi! (Gile, masih ingat!) 😃

🌸

Malamnya kami balik lagi ke Inaricho Station andalan. Nyegat kereta Ginza Line jurusan Shibuya turun di Suericho Station (kalo tidak salah). Kami menuju AKIHABARA! Sebenernya saya bukan manga-geek atau game-addict. Apalagi fans AKB-48, tentu bukan. Tapi jalan-jalan ke Tokyo tanpa ke Akihabara barangkali akan terasa hampa 🐒

Akihabara ini beneran pusat game, manga dan elektronik. Segalanya ada deh game dan manga aneh aneh juga ada. Pas lagi masuk toko elektronik, ada segerombolan orang berbahasa Minang. Disapa sama Mbalela. Ternyata mereka orang Padang. Yahilaah, jauh-jauh ke Jepang ketemunya orang Padang 😁

🌸

Pas hari pertama di Tokyo, saya mengalami sebuah ‘tragedi’. Siapa bilang di Jepang nggak ada pengemis?

Jadi gini ceritanya. Saya lagi antri di mesin pembelian tiket. Mbalela sudah duluan beli. Tiba-tiba ada bapak-bapak lusuh nyamperin saya dan ikut-ikutan mencetin mesin pembelian tiket. Lalu uang koin kembalian saya, diambil semua sama dia! Dia bilang: “hangguri hangguri” (Maksud dia hungry, lapar). Mukanya seram! Karena baru hari pertama dan hanya memegang uang yen yang tak terlalu banyak. Akhirnya uang kembalian saya yang keluar dari mesin dan dia ambil, saya ambil semua koin di tangan dia. Saya kasih 30 yen doang. (Saya jahat sih kalo diingat ingat lagi, kasian dia). Saya langsung ke arah Mbalela. Nantinya, pas di Osaka, saya melihat lebih banyak kaum gelandangan Jepang.

🌸

Kembali ke Hotel dengan lelah tapi gembira! Oiya, mayoritas air keran di Jepang bisa langsung diminum ya. Jadi saya bawa tumblr, biar hemat. Kalo beli air di konbini, satu botol sedang harganya sekitar 50 yen (kalo ngga salah).

🌸
