• Tokyo (again)

    October 7, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    My final day was spent making my way back to Tokyo. After dropping off my luggage I headed over to Shibuya for some last minute souvenir shopping, and grabbed a huge chocolate and strawberry waffle from the 109 building for lunch!

    In the afternoon I met up with my friend Oscar, who moved to Tokyo a week ago to study Japanese. We went over to Akihabara to look in some tech shops before touring some arcades, where we were generally terrible at rhythm games.

    For dinner we went over to a standing sushi bar, with the highlight being grilled Conger Eel. Finally we ended the night in a darts and games bar. Of course the dart boards were digital and would automatically track your scores as you played (including being able to detect when I repeatedly completely missed the board). We then somehow got caught up in a Japanese pub quiz - somehow we did averagely despite barely understanding any of the questions!

    And that's a wrap for Japan! Writing this now from the airplane home. This really has been an unforgettable experience and I hope I will get the opportunity to return again soon
