We had a rainy day so we didn’t go too far. Started out by going up to a couple of malls in Shibuya, with a cool mural and near the famous “scramble crossing”.
Then we headed to Asakusa. This station is a landmark (in the distance) in one of my dad’s post-WWII Army photos.
There is a large, famous temple Sensoji that was also refuge from the rain.
On my Japanese teacher’s recommendation I got a “melon bread” (shaped like melon but just a slightly sweet bun) at this place, open since 1945!
After that we went back and did laundry (travel is exciting!). Actually it was quite handy to have a washing machine handy at Coco Grand, also the spa/bath was nice to have since the en suite bath was tiny.
We had dinner at a yakitori, which grills little skewers of meat, primarily chicken. The place was called “daruma”, and the little dolls were on the pattern in the wallpaper.
