Tokyo Trip - Day 4 : 28th Nov

It's Day 4 and we were still on the 6-7-8 am schedule. The thing abt checking out hotel each day is managable for us as we have organised our stuff into respective sections and had planned the night before the attire for the next day. Today is the day trip around Central Tokyo where we would cover a few tourist spots in the city.

We were dropped off in a garden near the Imperial Palace. For some reason, the track that leads towards Imperial Palace was sealed on that day and we could only take some pictures outside..

We relied alot on these vending machines to get us hydrated during the day.. the ones carried by both of us (which is a bottle each) only lasted us for abt half a day). The cold weather made us dehydrated faster and I actually developed into rashes during the trip.



Next, we reached the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building where you will get a bird's eye view on the 45th floor. Caden wasn't too interested in the scenery and kept himself very occupied with the goods sold in the 2 store set up on that level. I was stuck on the Astro boy's merchandise and comtemplating if I should be getting another bag since I already got myself one at Disney store 2 days back.



Jude then dropped us at Isetan in Shinjuku and we were busy figuring out where our hotel would be in the next 2 days (Sunroute Plaza). In Isetan, they have a food corner on basement 1 where you can buy their bento sets or al la carte japanese snacks and bring up to the rooftop garden to take your lunch.. It was a Sat when we were in Central Tokyo so we saw a fair no of families doing their picnics at the rooftop garden.




In Asakusa, where ginko trees were spotted with autumn leaves.. refreshing air and beautiful scenery with shrines and some Japanese ladies wearing their kimonos. We were given time to tour around Sensoji Temple area.

At Nakamise Shopping lane, there were many stores selling traditional Japanese souvenirs and we simply love this burger ice-cream which costs abt 300 yen per piece and it is really nice to eat the ice-cream in cold weather! It's a hit amongst all the children there.

At Palette town - a few interesting shops to browse their fashion goods in Odaiba. Caden had a fun time playing in their arcade and even managed to input his name in the tennis machine where his score brought him to the 1st on their list (which I think it's damn kelong)

At night, we had the Japanese BBQ dinner near our Narita Hotel and this is the last night we were together with our tour group. I had lotsa of scallops and my ah lou ate alot of beef again..
