Osaka | 大阪市
Fukuoka | 福岡市
Want to hear another
dialect of Japanese lan-
guage? Osaka is where
you easily can hear it
altogether with machine
noise. This place is one of
industrial cities in Japan
As most cities in Japan,
Fukuoka also has many
shrines. But if you need
more warmth, this city
could help you as it is

ernmost major island of

3. Tokyo | 東京
Sapporo | 札幌市
Tokyo is perfectly described as a vibrant, rush, and
dynamic city. It is home for 13 million more settle-
ments who trigger the street, subway, shinkansen, and
even downtown life everyday. Ginza, Tokyo Tower,
Skytree, Asakusa are some of must-see spots within
the mega capital city that enchant every visitor
Kyoto | 京都
Expecting a tardis bringing you to Japan in the past?
No wonder Kyoto has it all even now. This city was
formerly Japan’s capital where you can find shrines
ubiquitously. If you try to make a comparison, Kyoto
definitely is Indonesia’s Yogyakarta. Do you know
what? Kyoto and Jogja are both sister cities, guys!
Even though there is no snow falling down in Indonesia,
Sapporo could satisfy your curiosity to even glide on it.
Sapporo is the biggest city of Japan’s northernmost
island of Hokkaido and is the whitest of all

Transportation
Shinkansen (しんかんせん) or bullet train is
amongst the most popular yet expensive
transportation in Japan. It can run at speed
of up to 320 km/h
Train (でんしゃ/densya) is the most favored
public transportation that interlinks most major
spot and cities within Japan. Taxi (タクシ/
takushi) is another option to commute within
the cities, however, the rate is distinctly more
expensive than that of going by train
Bus (バス/basu) mostly used for short or medi-
um-haul distance. In Japan, every passenger is
required to undergo self-service ticketing sys-
tem that mostly only accepts coin payment

Tugu Pahlawan (Heroes Monu-
ment) is more than just a city
landmark, for Surabayan in par-
ticular, it’s a symbol of freedom,
hard struggle, and noble sacri-
fice. Battle of Surabaya is one
of the most recorded heroic
fight ever in Indonesian history
that proves a countless spirit in
gaining independence, an equal
right to any humankind
Jalesveva Jayamahe Statue, a
symbol of brave and prudent
guard of Indonesian maritime
territory, and Surabayan must be
proud of having it all
Suro and Boyo statue, the shark
and crocodile are just perfectly
an enigmatic combination that
forms the city name. Who else
braver than a Surabayan?
