    Tokyo - day 4, rain, rain, go....

    April 23 in Japan ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    Slept in and woke up to rain. Well we had a plan and we were going to stick to it. We did, and we got wet but things were a little less busy.
    Went to the kitchenware street, which was so cool. Shop after shop of kitchen supplies. I could have bought so much if I brought my pick-up truck. Even so, I bought a few "necessities". Then off to the fishing tackle store. Another "happy place". Bought a few more necessities. Then had a wonderful lunch at a tiny family restaurant. Mary had yakisoba and I had nasi Goran both so good
    Then we met a guide for a walking tour of Shibuya. What a wild neighborhood. We wished we picked a hotel closer. We might be there every night. Anyway, we experienced the shibuya crossing and took in the neighborhood.
    For dinner, we went to a Katsu place, which was recommended to us, Thank you. Stopped for a drink... still hoping the rain would stop. Well it didn't. We found the subway and made it home by midnight.... by way of 7/11 for another creme brulee.
    It never did stop raining.    Read more
