Tokyo metro stations

Funny how the CDC and other agencies seem to think that alcohol sprays do indeed help. Wonder if we should believe you or them? Doesn't do a thing against influenza. CDC recommends hand sanitiser if soap and water is unavailable. Soap costs money.

Actually one may find soap in some vending machines, which also sell toilet paper. Conveniently located in the toilets hand-wash rooms. Toronto Deep Lake Water Cooling Been in service since I don't know, maybe it has a use outside of Toronto? Modified so that it's not a drinking water system, but the cooler water in a closed loop would be cheaper to run than Toronto's fresh water system. Maybe even in a nation surrounded by water, in the middle of summer, in heatwave after heatwave?

Hey YongYang: Whats so funny about 'insulation' My apartment is insulated to a very high level and triple glazed. Seems to be becoming the norm here with new builds. Funniest thing I've read for, well, years! Attic insulation can be fiberglass blankets or blown in insulation. This is normal of home construction use. R30 is the tickness of the blanket.

Noticed we are getting a few new "Sweden Houses" in the neighbourhood. What a great idea!!!! Heat the already stinking hot stations up Someones really thinking ahead there, lets hope they have free water and lots of medical staff on standby. But knowing Japan they wont think of that. As for their campaign to increase tourists, l can see it now "Japan beautiful one day glowing the next. I for one will be doing my part and spreading the message "stay the hell away from Japan".

Japalogic at its finest! Yeah, turn the aircon off during the hottest part of the day. What a complete bunch of morons! I hope they have plenty of ambulance staff on hand to catch the minions as they drop. Good point. The idiots seem to think that electricity supply is like a bucket of water, or it's all just piled up or something, and if we use less during the day we'll have more to use at night.

I was on the train today exactly at that time and it was completely full. Doubt that these people have done a proper research. Also, I think that Keio line isn't saving much electricity as I was freezing on the train today. Seems like there are a lot of meaningless actions going on. Stop the AC at stations, but have some trains set the temperature to 20? It'll be much better to establish clear standards and have all lines and all stations follow the same rules until September.

This really informative article in the Economist has a great graph that clarifies power use throughout the day. So shops and businesses need to cut right back in the daytime, including stations, who somehow feel they've been let off the hook, and the rest of us need to cut down late afternoon and evening.

You can also use your Pasmo or Suica to access Tokyo's many bus lines, and the various rail services to Haneda Airport the closest one to Tokyo's city center. Notably, if you wish to travel to Narita Airport , which sits far to the east of downtown Tokyo in Chiba prefecture, you will need to purchase a reserved seat on either the Narita Express or Keisei Skylinen.

Taxis in Tokyo are extremely expensive, whether you hail a ride one of the city's white-gloved taxi drivers, or use an application like Uber or the homegrown Japan Taxi.

With rates that start at yen for the first kilometer and yen for each meters thereafter, it's easy to see how cost can add up.

Taxi drivers in Tokyo don't speak much English, though they should be knowledgeable about major tourist destinations and hotels. Additionally, one of the benefits of the high price you pay to use taxis in Tokyo is their incredible safety and reliability. Little Tokyo is one of only three Japantowns in the United States.
