This Way For Sunshine...

Final greetings from Tokyo and possibly for this trip.

We leave Tokyo early tomorrow to make our way to Koya-san which is a small town in the mountains. We're staying with monks in a small temple so Internet coverage might be a bit sketchy to say the least. We'll see. After that we are off to Nara and then home.

It's been a glorious day in Tokyo today, especially compared to the drizzle and cloud of yesterday. Visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Tokyo National Museum. The latter of which afforded us a better view of Fuji than we got yesterday.


We then went shopping in Ueno and picked up all sorts of tasty treats to bring home including the infamous squeezey cheesy fish. We then headed over to the worlds 2nd biggest department store at Ikebukuro. It was the biggest until the same chain built a bigger one in Yokohama.

Finally we've just got back from a visit to Senso-ji one of the biggest temples in Tokyo.
