Tokyo – Akihabara, digitalni muzej in vse vmes, Japonska

Tokyo, japonsko prestolnico presežkov, bi z veseljem in brez vsakršnih težav raziskoval kakšno leto ali dve. 🙂 Kljub temu, da smo imeli na voljo le dobre 3 dni, nam je še prehitro zlezel pod kožo. Na eni strani ponuja umirjene, tradicionalne kotičke (post o tem tukaj), na katerih se še prehitro odklopiš od krajev, ki te čakajo dobesedno čez cesto. Kraji, ki te s svojim modernim bliščem in neskončnimi množicami ljudi, popeljejo čisto v drug svet. Večerno pohajkovanje po predelu mesta Akihabara, ki je znan predvsem po neverjetni ponudbi elektronike, je zagotovo nekaj posebnega in daleč od zdolgočasenega sprehoda po mestu. Pa ne zaradi elektronike same. 🙂 Če ne drugega, te vsaj mladenke v vseh možnih uniformah medicinskih sester, šolark, služkinj…, ki vabijo v bližnje eksotične lokale, težko pustijo ravnodušnega. 🙂 🙂 Na drugi strani mesta je glavna uspešnica še čisto nov digitalni muzej, ki te popelje v nek drug svet, v svet avatar-ja in ostalih iluzij. Več 100 metrov dolge kolone obiskovalcev ne odvrnejo še tako velikih skeptikov. Vmes pa le še kolaž drugih človeških stvaritev – od ikoničnega Tokyo tower-ja do ene izmed mnogih šoping prestolnic Tokya – ulica Takeshita v vsem svojem sijaju. Vse o planu našega potovanja po Japonski pa najdete tukaj.

I would explore Tokyo, the Japanese capital of magical proportions, with pleasure and without any problems easy for a year or two. 🙂 Although we only had  3 days to feel it, it really got under our skin. On one side, it offers tranquil, traditional places (more about it here), where you quickly disconnect from places that are waiting for you literally across the street. Those places bring you to a totally different world of modern architecture and endless crowds of people. An evening stroll around the area of ​​Akihabara, that is known for its unbelievable electronics shops, is definitely something special and far from a bored walk around the city. Even if you are not a big fan of electronics, you wont get bored maybe because of ladies in all possible uniforms of nurses, maids … who are trying to invite you to a nearby bar or places with crazy loud slot machines… 🙂 🙂 On the other side of the city, the main hit is a brand new digital museum that takes you to another world, to the world of avatars and other illusions. And in between you can get lost at shopping street Takeshita, wander around iconic Tokyo tower or just enjoy getting lost in this metropolitan mosaic.
