Day 7 : Arriving in Tokyo...

Hating the bus... Bad day!

We 1st went to our hostel to leave our bags : Tokyo Backpackers. This might be the cheapest in Tokyo but we have to say this is a dodgy area. Curiously enough, more during the day than at night; But still being 5 girls we were not feeling THAT comfortable coming back at night.

So for our 1st day we just went to Ginza to see the luxury shops 'impressive if you're interested by the way). We also went to Shibuya, THE place we wre looking for, the one we see in movies.

Then quite diner and back to the hotel... So happy to sleep!!

Day 8 : Fish Market
Early morning : wake-up at 7 to be at the fish market before 8:30.

Actually it took us 45 minutes to stroll in the market. We had missed the Tuna auction unfortunately because it was even earlier. If you feel like getting up VERY early you definitly should go though, or so I heard.

Then still a little bit tired, we started queuing at what looked like the most famous sushi restaurant. It was the biggest queue in the street and the longest (1h30) but god knows why we stayed until the end, got our sushis, paid a fortune and still were so happy with it. So worth all that. I kept the name : Dai wa zu si.

Little walk then to the Imperial Palace : Closed. It is actually almost entirely closed to visitors, you can just see some gardens, which were exceptionally closed that day.

So lucky we went back to stroll the city, shopping etc. and had the Tea Ceremony in the Okura Hotel near the Dutch Ambassy. 1000Y for 1 hour, not impressive really but we were still happy to see it. I suppose there are some better ones elsewhere as everybody seems to be amazed by the tea ceremony. Nevertheless I kept seeing this Hotel recommended in different guide books.

Then at night some of us went out, and as Tokyoïtes do, they slept in a Mo's Burger as the taxis are so expensive. So they could wait until 5:30 AM or so that the subway starts again.
