"Mayumi" 2018

Americanized

on the subway (東京の地下鉄, Tōkyō no chikatetsu)

Mayumi has been one of three different private guides that I've used while in Japan. Adventurously traveling solo, I also did a lot on my own; including the Tokyo Subway during rush hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1XuwtF7OJY

However sometimes, having a private guide (in an unfamiliar country where you don't speak or read the language) makes doing things both easier and more efficient. Mayumi was a delight and very knowledgeable. I've used her more than once.

Five Stars all around!!!

Walking or using public transport is the way most people get around in Tokyo. In my photo above, the train was not overly crowded and we could both find a seat. Rush hour is another matter.

Everyone glued to the phone, just like here. I've watched many Japanese train videos on Youtube and I know how it can get! V
