• Dec 28 - Tokyo

    December 28, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    We had another restful morning that saw us not leave our accommodation until 9:30am. We made our way to Nishi-nippori station and rode the metro to Naka-meguro. Here we saw what would be a nice cherry blossom view with the canal, but in winter it was a bit lacklustre.

    As it was such a beautiful day we walked to Ebisu - not this place had a cool vibe. We saw so many nice cars parked around. We then walked to the Yebisu Garden Tower area. This was a great place with a real mix of architecture. We went up the Top of Yebisu to the 38 and 39th floors for the free observatory. Here you could clearly see Mt Fuji.

    After this it was after 1pm , so we made our way to Shibuya for a late lunch. Here we split up and met back at Miyashita park. Jason grabbed food from a GF shop, and Dale stayed with him, while the boy and I went for udon at Maragame udon. It was interesting to see them feed the dough into the noodle machine and then straight into the boiling water.

    After meeting up at Miyashita park we headed for home, via a taiyaki place. We arrive home about 4:30pm and bit beat. We walked around a lot today.
