Need advice on places to visit

Hey all!

Tomorrow is my last day in Japan and I still haven't done all things I wanted. I need your opinion on:

- what's the best place to see the sunrise in Tokyo
- where I can find a secluded sandy beach area near Tokyo (to see the ocean)

Any tips and info will be very helpful. Also, I would appreciate suggestions for good shopping places to buy souveniers to take home. Something inexpensive preferably 😊

Thanks! Reply to this

Hi,

For really cheap souvenirs ask someone where the nearest 100 yen store is. They have heaps of general stuff, but also things you could use as souvenirs.

Tokyo Bay is probably the best bet for a beach - but dont expect it to be secluded :-)

Thanks for the advice 😊

I went out of Tokyo and went to Onjuku. It's a small costal town east of Tokyo. I was able to see the ocean, though the weather was not too good. And I stayed there for a night to see the sun rise over the ocean. Sadly, my calculations proved to be wrong, and the sun rose over the hills nearby. To make things worse, it was cloudy, so I was not able to see the dawn I expected.

Still, I got a bunch of good shots of the morning sky when taking the early train back to Tokyo to catch my plane.

As for the 100 yen shops, they are mostly filled with crap, in my opinion. But I was able to find some nice souvenirs there 😊

Thank you again for the advice!

Cheers!
