shopping |
As we were the
on our own today we decided to sleep in a bit, eat a late breakfast and head
out around 11.
beer headquarters, Tokyo Sky Tree |
Our goal for
the morning and afternoon was to get me a Japanese chef’s knife and to visit
Ashai Beer Headquarters. This meant taking the subway or metro, we’re still not
quite sure what the difference is. I know there is a difference, just don’t
know what that is. The Japanese metro has a bunch of different lines (13 I
think.) The station for the line we wanted was less than a 5 minute walk from
the hotel and we were able to stay on just one line the whole way. We got a
day’s pass (10.00) which turned out to be a great decision. The Tokyo
subway/metro has different fares depending on how far you go, having a day pass
simplified things immensely.
We first found
the knife shops. I knew there was an area with kitchen wares of all kinds and
that there were a bunch of knife stores there. We found one with that had a guy
who spoke English and bought a knife.
not a bad view |
After a bit of
a rest back at the hotel we headed back out to do a bit of shopping and check
out Tokyo’s red light district. Mission accomplished for both. The red light
district didn’t seem to be as hopping as I think it could be, probably a bit
due to the cold (it was toque weather.)
By the time we got near to the hotel we were beat, but ravenous. A pizza
and wine was dinner and then bed.
