Start from the beginning

The day started out early as a smaller group of us went to the recently relocated fish market.

It wasn’t as impressive as I imagine the original to be in terms of size and busyness.

I did try, I’m a bit embarrassed to say, a $40 Grade 5A (highest grade) Waygu beef stick. And I forgot to get a photo of me enjoying it. Was it worth $40. Yes. Yes it was. I’m planning a whole post about the various beef sticks I ate on the trip.

That’s $440 worth of beef on a stick right there.

I also tried some fresh tuna. Also delicious!

Then we headed back to the hotel. Kenzie really liked the Ao Dai from Vietnam.

Next we headed out to Chiyoda, known for lots of shops focused on anime and high tech stuff.

Our group split up for the afternoon and Tien and I went to another famous temple, Demboin. It was spectacular.

We then met up again and walked to the famous Meiji Jingu temple in the center of a huge park in Tokyo. It was so good to be back among nature for a long walk.

We ended the day back in Shibuya for conveyor belt sushi. Why not!?! And it smelled like a fresh fish market when we walked in so we knew it would be good.

So fresh!

So fresh!

After dinner we wandered through a department store and I got a chance to try PlayStation VR

Shibuya at night is special. Full of light and energy. And lots and lots of people.
