Japan Day8

It's the last day in Tokyo to move around. The flight back to Singapore was on the next day morning 11am. For that, we have to be at the Metropolitan Hotel Limousine Bus area by 7am!

So today we woke up pretty earlier too, to go to the Tsukiji Fish Market. Nope. We were not there to see the action in the early hours for the fishmongers auctioning. We were there more for the sushi food as recommended by many people, and books, and internet.

So off we went, and true enough, the actions were all over by the time we reach there, although still lots of busy people moving around.

So we looked for the recommended stalls. But hey, they were all so crowded! Expected anyway.

We decided to just walked around to look for others, and happened to find one which we felt ok near one of the last lanes.
We ordered 2 sets (1 big, and another smaller)

Must say the sushi were all very fresh and tasted very well.
Ate until very full, and burp burp burp burp burp ....

Then we took a slow walk to Ginza. Weather was pretty good. Nice good strolling.
Ginza seems to be nothing much to walked around. Took some pictures as we walked along the streets, and rested for a while before we decided to head back to Ueno.

Back at Ueno, we walked back to the Ueno Park where we first arrived on the first day. The sakuras were still there, but they looked like they we going to wither in another few days time. Still pretty nice to look at, just that some of the trees were already 'balding' :P
This time, we walked one whole around of the Ueno Park.

Next, we walked to the Ameyoko Street where they sell lots and lots of stuff. Basically not a shopping person myself, I usually just walked and walked and walked when I go holiday. So we walked whichever lanes of streets available in that Ameyoko area. Can't remember if we bought anything at all.

Then we went back to Ikebukuro, and this time we ventured to Sunshine City side. We went to Uniqlo shop, where I bought 3 shirts. Was quite cheap, so I bought. I seldom like to buy things when overseas.

Then walked down that Sunshine 60 street. Crowded as expected. I think Tokyo is crowded everywhere.

Then decided to go back early to hotel to pack our things properly.

Had to analyse how we need to pack the stuff into our luggages. Managed to squeeze lots of things well into the luggages, which is good!

Then went down for dinner, in the end couldn't decide on what to eat, we bought instant noodles from the shop next to our hotel, and heat up the instant noodles as dinner.

Had an early night, and it's almost the end of this Japan holiday.
