HBS Japan Trip: Day 5 Tokyo Touring Around :)

Our last destination on the Japan trek---Tokyo!!! :)

 

 

Can't kick off a morning without a $25 dollar mango, right?  We finally got around to trying the crazy expensive but fragrant/gorgeous looking mango we bought from our Osaka day trip!!!

 

 

Yes, didn't you know all mangos come with an instruction booklet on how to prepare and eat it? hehe

 

 

 

 

And yes, it was DELICIOUS and "Oh so sweet!" success!!!!

 

 

Here is a picture of the main lobby area of the Hotel Okura in Tokyo:

 

 

It definitely had a very 1960s/1970s feel to it but in a good way, the architecture and decor really made me feel like I traveled back in time (well, to a period I wasn't around for...but could imagine from old movies :)

 

And off we went on our Tokyo city tour, checking out more temples and shrines...

 

 

Love how huge and bushy and GREEN this tree is and how it basically took up the whole picture!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So cute, as we were doing another HBS group shot, some Japanese students saw us and really wanted to join in on the picture fun :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our lunch at a yummy Kushiage Restaurant--loads of fried yumminess!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Such a funny story about this bag, we saw it while strolling on some free "shopping" time we had, but Peter was anxious to get some ramen first cos he was still hungry...anyhow, we snapped a picture with it and when we came back 45 min later...they had sold the ONE AND ONLY PINK bag :( :( (this photo is a reminder for PZ and all the boys who say "it'll be there, we'll come back for it later...")

 

 

 

 

The ramen that cost me the PINK Hello Kitty bag above *sniff sniff* (haha, I'm so bad, I've given Peter so much grief about this already, and so sad for him we took a picture of me with the bag...cos he'll always remember when he sees the picture LOL)

 

 

 

 

PZ and Ianz and Charles, looking down this glass window on one of the high buildings in Tokyo...

 

 

 

Peter's facial expression is so priceless (and cute) hahaha

PZ--Junk Food "Tide" charity red tee, Penguin Blue Plaid Shorts, Gucci Limited Edition Blue and Gold Croc sneakers

 

And later on at night, Peter and I explored the Akihabara "electronics" district...you could wander endlessly there, marveling at all the anime and gadget stuff :)

 

 

 

 

For din din, we tried to replicate our previously SUPER delicious Japanese BBQ outing in Kyoto...went to "Gyu-Kaku" in Tokyo, unfortunately, the meat quality and flavoring fell far short of the yumminess we had in Kyoto...so sad, if we ever go back to Kyoto--we hope to find that place!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course we still ate it all haha :)
