Shibuya

We left Jimbocho Thursday morning and headed down to the southwest of Tokyo to a place called Shibuya with the bright lights and busy streets. Our hotel is pretty amazing, we have our own little studio flat and it's great to have the privacy.

After checking in, we went up to the Asakusa temple, which is in the old part of town. The temple itself is pretty amazing and there is a row of shops leading up to it, selling all kind of tat. This temple is one of the biggest in Japan and it has a massive gate called the Kaminari mon, which means Thunder Gate. It has a very very big lantern hanging from it, which is what makes it famous. The temple itself has been on this site for more than a millenium.

After having a good nosey around, we picked up some dinner and relaxed in our lovely flat with a beer!

Friday was spent exploring around there and we walked for miles!

Had a look around the different parks and temples in the area and then home again as we'd have a bit of a day tomorrow with Miki and Helena.
