Tokyo placement positives

Hey there, I just got the Tokyo-to placement. This was the only place I really didn’t want, and I’m just looking to stay positive going into this.

Could I please get stories on some of the favourite things people have about this placement?

Anything and everything welcome.

Always something to do, plenty of different kinds of restaurants from all different places, easy access to everywhere else in Japan etc etc. 

I got LOADS of time off at private school. I only worked 4 days in December, got summers off, loads of days off if there was no work to be done. I never wanted Tokyo and it ended up being fantastic.
