Talking trucks,
Musical streets,
Bells ringing throughout the city at 5:00pm to signal the end of the day,
Officials walking through the residential streets in winter clocking wood together as a reminder to turn off kerosene heaters,
The deafening din of cicadas in the summer,
People out washing their sidewalks....
These are all memories of life in Tokyo.
Our family of four packed up from our suburban American home and moved to Tokyo for 3 years. Inside, you will find some of our experiences as well as tips for those considering a move to Tokyo. We also have photos (Part 1) and (Part 2) depicting many scenes of Tokyo.
Although we've moved back to our American suburb, we still make frequent trips back to Tokyo and will update the Tips section accordingly.
