This morning we go to Shimo-Kitazawa, a beautiful village not far from Shibuya. It 's a place to visit in the evening, because there are many premises, but also during the day is nice and there are some markets.
Shimo-Kitazawa, beautiful homes
AND 'Early morning, the streets are almost deserted, the neighborhood is still asleep
The shops are open, there are plenty of used record stores.
Puffers, in the bathtub in the window of a restaurant
10 o'clock the streets begin to come alive
cafe ... There is a Cat in the window where the cats sleep in style!
The buildings are all low and narrow streets
There are many places we would have to come here at night!
A local Italian
We move in Shinbashi station to visit the museum and enter a skyscraper in the Shiodome looking for a place to dine. In this building there are two floors, 42 ° and 43 °, where you can dine with an incredible view over the city. We go mostly in the elevator (no stops) and arrive directly at 42 ° in a few seconds (to feel bad!), so that I pretend to nothing because there's other people with us but I can not walk straight ... A lunch Prices are affordable, but the environment is too luxurious and not dare to come in sneakers and T-shirt. We return to the ground floor with mortals and have lunch with a ciotolone omelette with rice and yakitori.
Old Shinbashi station
A nice restaurant where lunch (our last lunch Tokyo ...)
omelette with rice and skewers, miso soup, pickles and green tea
A little 'relaxation in ryokan (just saw us reach the lady is running to heat the water to bring the teapot in the room), I note with pleasure that the futon have been put in order even though I had pulled on me (probably bad).
Relax with a nice Japanese style bath
Yesterday I did a little 'shopping in Harajuku, I could not resist and I have donated these shoes! (Available Sizes: S - M - L, I found out I had an M, but there are no intermediate measures? Maybe that's why the girls always have the biggest shoes of their feet and walk in a strange way?)
Afternoon at the Museum of Ebisu beer, to round off! We arrived a bit 'late and the last tour had just left, so we mind our own walker, ending the visit with a good beer!
Nature and skyscrapers, it may seem out of tune, but I found that there is a special harmony between the elements in every corner of Tokyo
The train goes up the river, between the buildings
From Ebisu Station (after a very long corridor) you are in front of a huge complex of shopping malls, cinemas, hotels, breweries and
There is a nice park around
Western Palaces and flowers everywhere
Beer Museum
giant cans (made of small cans)
Here we are tasting!
On the Yamanote there is a frenzy of people, for the first time we really squashed between people continues with impunity to go ... So let's Shinjuku compressed to the last search souvenirs, and we get lost in shopping malls and shops. It's not really the place to find gifts by little, in fact we turn like mad from one place to another, a more luxurious of the other without finding anything that interests us. In a shopping center going up right on the rooftop terrace, and enjoy the sunset.
Shinjuku
In Shinjuku there is a lot of people!
many malls, but too expensive for our pockets ..
The sun is setting and the lights make the atmosphere fantastic
top floor of a shopping center you will find this fabulous terrace from which there we enjoy our last sunset in Japan
The sky of Tokyo has something special ...
When he had given up buying a captain in the 100 yen store, and I buy all spending anything. Between parcels and packets go seeking a yakiniku restaurant that was so liked, we wait a bit 'because it is full and make a delicious dinner! This time we are in a bigger room, but now we have knowledge of orders in Japanese on the screen! In the women's bathroom is un'agendina to leave a phrase or greeting (?) So I write a thought ... I left the restaurant we go into a shop in the grip of a kind of extravagant fury, from which we recover a effort!
Closing on our dining experience in Japan with a rich barbecue!
Our last night in Japan, I can not hide that I'm so happy for all these days in Japan, of all things, people, cities that we have seen, but I feel it a bit 'of melancholy.
back a bit 'late to the ryokan, but prepare for the luggage with care, tomorrow we leave ...
Lying on a futon I can not sleep, I have many thoughts, I look back with my mind on our trip and I have a little 'afraid to come back (besides not having any desire). How will I live so far from here? We made an incredible journey into the future, now how dare I go back in time?
