As a favor to a couple of friends who are traveling to Tokyo as I write this, I recently posted a few HubPages with my own Tokyo travel tips. My friends were both in the "eager to see the Disney parks, reluctant to go beyond that" category, so my posts were intended to encourage them to get out and see a bit of the real Japan. (Based on my own decidedly hurried and limited experience, of course.)
I thought I'd link them here, in case anyone is interested. OR just jump to the video links below. They include music that I just composed last week.
One Day Tokyo Highlights
How I Got Very Lost in Kamakura, and Encourage Others To Do Likewise
Hanayashiki - Very Tiny, Very Old Amusement Park
There are videos embedded in all three of those hubs, but if you just want to check out the video, here are the YouTube links:
A Tranquil Trip to Asakusa and Senso-ji Temple
A Breezy Visit to Meiji Shrine
A Meditative Tanka on Kamakura
And two videos of the tacky and bizarre Hanayashiki park - these are not as artsy as the ones posted above:
Arigato, Hanayashiki!
And this spooky dark ride oriented video is possibly NSFW due to its shocking ending:
Hanayashiki Horror
Hope y'all enjoy (when you have sufficient time) - I can't believe my Tokyo trip was two years ago. Egads!
