Last month I visited a different planet, surprised??? Even I was, Japan, the land of rising Sun is out of the world, its heaven for tech lovers.
My journey began from Vadodara on 8th December.
I reached New Delhi Airport at 3 PM and the flight to Tokyo was at 9 PM. I had ample time so took some snaps at IGI Airport.

We had to reach NTT DOCOMO HQ by 14:45 after having our lunch, to my surprise our lunch arrangements were made in an Indian restaurant 'Bombay Club'
After having lunch we had some free time which we spent in taking photographs :)
We reached NTT DOCOMO HQ on time and our meeting was scheduled at 15:00 hours, we were welcomed by Yuuji Yamamoto, Deputy Managing Director of Global Business Department, NTT DOCOMO, after this we were explained how Osaifu Keitai (Mobile Wallet) works, by Frontier Services Department. After this we were taken to a field trip to experience how Osaifu Keitai works.
Presentation room on 41st floor
[Samsung Galaxy S in my hand. No Nokias in Japan, the finnish company left the Japanese mobile market about 2 years back]For live demo of Osaifu Keitai, we went to a Deparmental store, Railway station and McDonalds. You just need to tap your phone on the sensor to make the payments or get your mobile recharged, Amazing!!!
The Osaifu Keitai Presentation and field trip increased my thirst to know more about Japanese Mobile Technology, to quench my thirst I had to wait for one whole night, but the wait was worth it.
Day 2
After breakfast at Hilton, we left for NTT DOCOMO HQ to see 'Presentation on latest services' by Customer Relations Department. After this we went to NTT DOCOMO's Future Station, yeah baby FUTURE STATION, we were shown to amazing videos alongwith other presentations and demos.
