So to finish off a very long week, we wanted to take Matt’s friend to see Tokyo before he left plus we had only been to one small part of Tokyo so it was a good time for Matt to get to show me more. We decided to let the Walkers and Justin go ahead of us since all we had done was run for four days straight and Reagan was really starting to get worn out. We had a slow morning and got to the trains about 10:00. The first thing on the list that day was to get a part of the Immigration office stuff started. Katie, Reagan, and I needed to change our visas from 90 days to long term. We got to the immigration office about 11:30 to find out Katie and Seth had accidentally left one of the papers at home. So we decided that would just have to wait for another day. Since we were all hungry next thing on our list was to find food. Matt and Seth had been to Ebisu Gardens and wanted to take Justin there so that is where we started. We had lunch out on the promenade area. It was beautiful. We even got a great picture of Reagan taking it all in.
After lunch we headed to the Yebisu Beer Museum. It was pretty interesting and we finished the tour with a nice cold drink.
Next on the agenda was to see the busiest intersection in the world. Oh course Reagan crashed on the way over so we got to have some fun picture taking with her passed out and tons of people walking past.
She was oblivious to the fact she was in a very popular intersection. Matt and I also took a picture together in the middle of the chaos. Loving each other when the rest of the world was whizzing past.
After that we decided to head to Ueno. Seth, Katie and Justin wanted to see the shrine over the lake but I was just about Shrined out so my vote was for just walking around the park. We first headed out to find the Ueno Zoo but when we found it we realized one it was about to close and it was more of an all day thing not an one hour thing. We did end up going to the Zoo a couple weeks later and you can read about that soon. So since the Zoo was closing we settled on a play area and just let Reagan run around for a bit. She didn’t want to leave the park and we snapped this photo of her standing pouting. She looks so small.
One the way to the train station we were letting Reagan just walk next to us and play and we happen to notice two people covertly trying to take pictures of her. We just laughed and told them it was fine. All the sudden our little baby girl turned on the charm. She was posing for them and when they quit taking pictures she fussed until they took some more. I was somewhere in between embarrassed and quite amused.
Next on the list for the day was to go to the Tokyo Tower. We hit the next train and got to the Tokyo Tower about 6:30. Almost perfect timing for seeing the sunset but I guess other people had this idea as well because there was an hour wait to get to the top. We decided we had made Reagan wait enough that week and decided dinner was a better idea. On our way back to the train station we walked past an English pub and decided that was just fine. It was really good and we even got to have some chicken wings. It was cool to see Tokyo but unreal how little we actually saw. We couldn’t see all of it if we went every weekend but we are up to the challenge to see as much as possible. Keep checking on the blog, there will be plenty more Tokyo adventures.
