• Trains around Tokyo

    Yesterday in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    We had a few things we wanted to see in Tokyo. First off the Tsukiji Fish Market. It was just as good as we remembered, although we couldn’t find any live sea urchin, we did find lots of tasty tidbits. After our fill of seafood we took the train to Shibuya station, three trips to Tokyo and we still haven’t visited this iconic scramble crossing.

    We looked at it for the Eleventh floor, from ground level and from the 3rd floor, 2nd floor and I still don’t see what all the fuss is about. Unremarkable as my Dad would have said. 🤣

    After having a drink ( you can either have a $10 coffee or a $10 cocktail, it’s a no brainer) on the second floor to watch the crossing we were done

    We had planned to visit the Meiji Shrine and the gardens but the weather goods were not in favour today, so after a coffee at the entrance waiting for the rain to clear we decided to head home for a rest.

    A trip to Daiso our favourite store in Tokyo is always a must , I could spend hours in there, we came away with so many great bargains.

    Time for a drink. Decided to head in the other direction when we left the apartment. We only got about 1/2 a block before we saw a little bar.

    We were only going in for one drink…. 3 hours later.
