09/09/2007 Archived Entry: "Tokyo Travels"

We went to a bunch of places today! Instead of just staying on the Yamanote line as we've done before, we switched trains and train companies multiple times throughout the day. Jack wanted to see the cosplayers at Harajuku so we were over there bright and early. Too early, in fact! The cosplayers were still sleeping from the night before. We walked around the nearby commercial district where hip young Tokyo teens get the latest fashion trends, ate lunch, then off to Akihabara again. I just stayed in one place while Jack went to the electronic stores (to prevent boredom). Then we visited Ryogoku (the sumo district), Jimbocho (the booksellers), Shibuya, then back to Harajuku. Whew, it was hot! A big gyoza dinner, a visit to the sento (hot soaking bath) in our building, then to bed. Tomorrow is a day trip to Nikko, up in the mountains. My pictures of the day are in Tokyo Siteseeing, Jack's are in 2007-09-09 Tokyo. Plus, a bonus! I added pictures to the "Other Japan" set.
