Sheikh Hamdan in Japan: Dubai's Crown Prince visits tourist hotspots in Tokyo and Kyoto
18 December, 2019
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, has been exploring Japan this week and sharing the highlights of his travels on his Instagram, naturally.
The Dubai royal has been travelling with Uncle Saeed and his young best friend, Mohammed bin Ahmed Jaber Al Harbi, known as Maj.
Sheikh Hamdan has ticked off a number of touristy must-dos while in the East Asian island country. So far he has been in Kyoto and seen geishas walking through the autumnal streets and visited the Fushimi Inari Shrine with Maj.
After exploring Kyoto, Dubai's crown prince took the high-speed Shinkansen train to Tokyo. Travel between the two cities on Honshu, Japan's largest and most populated island, takes around six hours by car and just over three and half hours on the bullet train.
While in the capital city, his sight seeing has not slowed down. In his first three hours in the city he had posted selfies with the red and white Tokyo Tower in the background and images of Uncle Saeed with bronze rugby and sumo sculptures of Michael Leitch and Tochinoshin Tsuyoshi.
He has also paid a visit to Aldebaran restaurant, where he claims to have had the best burger in Japan.
