Impressions of Tokyo - A Japan Blog Matsuri
Summer is festival time in Japan, or Matsuri time if you are a local, and my fellow Japan bloggers have decided to revive the Japan Blog Matsuri in honor of the season. The Japan Blog Matsuri is a blog carnival covering a variety of Japan related subjects and I am honored to host the inaugural Matsuri here at The Tokyo Traveler.
Have you been to Tokyo or do you just dream of visiting this great city? This version of the Japan Blog Matsuri will cover just that and if you want to participate all you need to do is write a post about your first impression of Tokyo or a memorable experience that you had while in the city. If you haven’t been to Tokyo before I encourage you to put your thinking cap on and plan a trip, post about what you would do, where you would go and what you think would be the most interesting thing that you would take home with you, be it a memory or something more tangible.
Visit the Japan Blog Matsuri site to submit your post by August 20th and remember that all posts must be about your “Impressions of Tokyo“, real or imagined. The Matsuri will be published in a special edition of Nihon on the Net on Sunday, August 24th.

I like the “real or imagined” part. I have a feeling any fictional impression of Tokyo are going to be sci-fi-ish. I like. Can’t wait to get started on my entry.

My first impressions of Tokyo? How about Tokyo’s first impressions of me! :-P Just kidding. Time to put my thinking hat on…

Hmm … this should be interesting. I’ve been to Tokyo just once, and it was only because the plane landed at Narita and I was taking the Shinkasen down to Nagoya. I didn’t get to see much.
I’ll be sure to post my entry in the next few days, though. It should be interesting to see what everyone comes up with :)

I can’t wait to get started on my article. Tokyo was where I started and ended my first trip to Japan. So I have lots of great memories! Thanks for starting this, Shane :)

[…] Yeah, I know, I promised more posts. This isn’t one of those typical “I promise I will post soon” posts where the blogger never appears again. I’m busy building jpopjapan.com when I get free time and I expect that to continue. I’m also busy with planning for my trip to Japan in Sept and general life stuff, so posts to this site will be slim between now and then. Meanwhile, I’m slowly writing up a post for the Japan blog matsuri. […]

Ahhh. Tokyo. I’d say I could dig up interesting memories. I think one of them involved a Godzilla outfit…
