Day 1 in Tokyo - Daimon

This time round, I travelled to Tokyo alone and sister joined me the next day. Upon arrival, everything seem so familiar. I remembered where to get the train tickets and have no problem finding the hotel. My second year staying in the same hotel.

Upon arrival, I went straight to B1 to Keisei booth to buy my train ticket to Daimon station. Took the Keisei line which cost 1,200 yen to Daimon station. It took me 1.5hours from Narita Airport to Daimon. If you are staying at the Ueno, do take Keisei Rapid which last stop is Ueno. Ask the booth counter staff to direct you the timing of the train. If you are not sure if you should take the train at the platform, ask the uniform staff at the platform. Show them the tickets and say your final destination. They will say yes or no to taking the train.

This time, we were smart enough to use the Pasmo card this time round. It works like Singapore's EZ Link. You can also use it to buy stuff from vending machines and convenience stores. You can buy from the ticketing machines at any train stations. The ticketing machines have English instructions. Select accordingly.

Daimon is a quiet place near Tokyo Tower.
