Today was the last day of my trip. I had trouble getting up. My brain was telling me that this was the last day of my solo travels and to make the most of it, but my body was having none of it. I finally hauled myself out of bed at 8am, ate breakfast downstairs, packed my bags, and checked out. I left my big backpack at the hotel. My feet complained, and my small daypack felt like a deadweight on my shoulders. I was tired.
My initial plan was to walk around Odaiba, but somehow I didn't feel inspired to do this. I decided to go to Harajuku instead. During my 2010 visit, Jeff and I walked around in awe looking at the cosplayers and the girls in Lolita outfits. I knew this tended to happen on Sundays, but I went to Harajuku in hope that they did their costume parade on Saturdays as well. Unfortunately, they didn't. I walked around the main shopping street, and then started walking towards Shibuya.
At Shibuya, I filmed the world's busiest pedestrian crossing, took a selfie with Hachiko, and then sought out a kaiten sushi restaurant nearby. The conveyor belt sushi really hit the spot, and it was cheap too - seven plates cost around US$11. I learned that kaiten sushi in Japan had slightly different rules. For example, they don't serve you drinks - you mix green tea powder and get hot water from a tap at the counter. Ordering from the chef was also different. Fortunately, there were instructions in English.
