Playing around on Google Maps, I found the apartment building in Tokyo where my family lived when I was in high school: the Homat Sun, in the neighborhood of Roppongi. (My dad worked for his company’s Tokyo branch for three years.)
You can see the great roof garden where my parents used to take the dog when she needed a bath.
And here’s my high school, the American School in Japan, in Chofu, a Tokyo suburb.
It was a long trip to and from school every day — 75 minutes each way. I had to take four different subway/train lines. Here’s the route I would take. (Home is east, school is west.)
That’s awesome. I love that the route includes the prices and suggested itineraries. Can’t believe it’s only 160 yen for that first subway leg. Shows you the lack of inflation in Japan!
Although it only gives 4 minutes to make the transfer in Ebisu, which would be tight without the train pass once you factor in steps, etc.
So cool that you lived in Tokyo! I worked there for 6 months, but we were in a newish city, Urayasu-shi. IT was one stop away from Disney and took about 20 minutes or so by train into Tokyo.
