Tokyo Day 5.

Time flew by quickly and there I was, at the last day of my trip. My flight is scheduled to leave Tokyo at 6.25 in the evening, so that left me about one full morning plus some afternoon to do some last minute walkabout in Tokyo.

I first headed to Omote-sando, where all of the world’s top designer brands are located. Gucci, Prada, Versace, Burberry’s, Armani… you name it, they have it. Of course I wasn’t one for these branded items, but it was still good to be able to check the place out. As it turned out, Omote-sando is actually quite a nice place to take a stroll on.

Then as I was hitting the junction of Omote-sando and Meiji-Jingumae, I saw this shop:

The shop of course was nothing special, but the huge advertisement featured yet another AV actress! Seems like everywhere you go in Tokyo you would come across one somehow – though I probably would be chuffed to pieces if I get to come across one in person. Hahaha.

After Omote-sando I headed over to Akihabara to find gadgets again. The last time I was in Akihabara I didn’t really get to shop because of the luggage that I was carrying, but this time round, I was really able to be doing a bit of shopping – and as it turned out I bought quite a few things for myself, and like I said a few things ago, Akihabara is really buzzing in the day.

When I was done with Akihabara, I headed backed to Shinjuku to catch my train to the Narita Airport on the Narita Express. At 3100 yen it definitely wasn’t the cheapest way to travel to the airport, but then again, the cheapest option (1000 yen) was another half an hour train ride away at Ueno, and I have to be sitting on the train for close to one and a half hours – not the best thing to do really especially when I had all those luggages.

The Narita Airport is actually quite a pretty airport, and I think it’s pretty huge too. And apparently a lot of Hong Kongers were in Tokyo, as I could hear people speaking Cantonese virtually at every part of the airport!

The meal onboard was warm again!

I don’t think you can complain too much about Japan Airlines – their food is good, the service is excellent, though I can certainly make do with a slightly larger seat. As it turned out, it wasn’t just my problem, virtually everyone seemed to have a problem with the size of their seats!

So as it turned out, my 5 days in Tokyo were over in a flash, and while I’m happy with the things I got to see, I definitely wished that I could have seen more things such as the Imperial Palace, the Meiji Shrine, etc. But then again, I’m quite sure that this won’t be my last time to Japan, so I’m not worried.
