Bizen city in Okayama prefecture

๐Ÿ“ It takes only an hour by car to Bizen from Himeji. ๐Ÿšฉ Itโ€™s a beautiful drive through the mountains and coastal areas of Aioi and Ako cities. ๐Ÿœ Enjoyed lunch at Seafood Iso restaurant (ๆตท้ฎฎๆ–™็† ็ฃฏ), which I think is a must try for sashimi lovers. They have special local seasonal seafood. Always fresh. English menu available. ๐Ÿ“ท Then had a good coffee at Arcadia Village. This is a good place to capture spectacular fotos at different times of the day. And the night view from their cafe is gorgeous! ๐Ÿ  Although we didnโ€™t stay over, Arcadia village offers accommodation, and also a seaside day campsite. #deliciousfood #seasidephotoguide #localguides #seafood #bizen #okayama #japan #hyogotravel

๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Lost in Tokyo: My Japan Travel Experience A first-timerโ€™s story of neon streets, quiet temples, and unforgettable ramen Visiting Tokyo had always been on my bucket list โ€” and when I finally landed, I realized nothing could truly prepare me for this city. Tokyo isnโ€™t just a place. Itโ€™s an experience โ€” futuristic, chaotic, serene, and beautiful, all at once. And I got to live it, one train stop at a time. โธป ๐Ÿ›ฌ First Impressions: Fast, Clean, and Polite The moment I arrived, Japanโ€™s legendary efficiency was on full display. Immigration was smooth, and within minutes I was on the Narita Express, zooming into the city. I couldnโ€™t stop looking out the window โ€” the blend of nature and concrete, sakura trees peeking between buildings, vending machines everywhere. What struck me first? How quiet the city felt โ€” even with millions of people. No honking, no shouting, just organized calm. Everyone followed the rules. It felt almostโ€ฆ peaceful. โธป ๐Ÿ™๏ธ Exploring the City: From Shibuya to Asakusa My base was in Shinjuku โ€” loud, bright, always alive. I wandered around Kabukicho, got mildly lost, and stumbled into a tiny ramen shop run by an old man who didnโ€™t speak English. Still, that bowl of spicy miso ramen? Unreal. One of the best meals of my life. I crossed the iconic Shibuya Crossing, visited Takeshita Street in Harajuku, and browsed the endless floors of Don Quijote. Then came the shift โ€” from chaos to calm โ€” as I walked through Asakusa. The Senso-ji Temple felt like stepping into another world. Lanterns, incense, people bowing in silence โ€” it made me pause. Tokyo knows how to balance extremes. ๐Ÿœ The Food: Every Meal Was a Discovery Though I was in Japan as a Muslim I couldnโ€™t eat everything there halal food is now available mostly in cities. Specially u have to download โ€œhalal Japanโ€ app and scan bar codes of the foods in super market and convenient store if u are a Muslim . Even convenience store sandwiches tasted like they were made by a chef. ๐Ÿงณ What I Learned โ€ข Cash is still king โ€” not every place takes cards โ€ข Google Maps is your best friend for trains โ€ข People are respectful to the core โ€” I didnโ€™t hear a single loud phone call โ€ข And most importantly: donโ€™t rush. Tokyo isnโ€™t a checklist. Itโ€™s a city you feel, not just visit. ๐ŸŒ† My Favorite Moment? It was night. I was walking alone near Tokyo Tower, the wind was cool, and the city lights reflected off wet streets. There were no crowds, no noise โ€” just me and the skyline. Thatโ€™s when I realized: Tokyo had quietly stolen my heart. โœˆ๏ธ Final Thoughts Tokyo is strange and wonderful, fast and slow, loud and silent. Itโ€™s everything at once, yet nothing like anywhere else. If you ever get the chance, donโ€™t just go โ€” let it overwhelm you. Let it teach you stillness in motion. I know Iโ€™ll be back. #worldtravel #Trip #historicallandmarks #localguides #tokyo #japan #sakura #japantrip #japannature
