Experience in Tokyo, Japan by Reina

What is it like to live in Tokyo? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

In Tokyo we have useful transport, especially train. But it's a little bit complicated to use even for Japanese people.

Our city is always clean and safe anywhere. If you live downtown, you can go easily to center of the city. And also there are many stores open 24 hours.

What is the student lifestyle like in Tokyo?

Many Japanese students have a part time job after school and go out to drink with friends to a kind of Japanese bar called "izakaya".
