Night time exploring in Tokyo

With an afternoon rest under our belts, we headed off into the evening in search of some food. We found a yakitori bar and enjoyed a couple of cold drinks and hot food. The food included; squid, quail eggs, prawns, fried chicken skin, fried rice, and the crowning jewel of chicken sashimi...

The chicken sashimi was a bit of a risk, but it tasted good and looked fresh... Fingers crossed we suffer no untoward side effects!

After dinner, we walked around the corner to another Sakura lined street and tested out our night photography skills - the city lights meant it wasn't true night photography, but it was still fun!

On our walk back home we crossed the Sumida River. Vela found a little Buddhist shrine (Kaomi Shrine), famous for protecting people and providing good luck. The custom here is to wash your money in the fountain, which Vela did. We walked the last few minutes back to our hotel room, with soggy notes in hand.

Time for a good night's sleep after a big first day in Tokyo!Baca lagi
