Day 10: AKIHABARA & GINZA & SHINJUKU & TOKYO TOWER

The really first day in Tokyo started so late because of our exhaustion that heaped for 9 days. We used 2-day Tokyo Metro Pass (980 yen) that we bought from Narita Airport. Our first station was brunch at Ueno (around 11am) before visiting Imperial Palace/Nijubashi that is opened for the public only East Park that consists of the famous Nijubashi bridge in front of the main entrance.

Then we went shopping (actually just looking) at famous Electric city of Tokyo; Akihabara then just a moment visiting Ginza; the high cost and tasteful shopping area.

In the afternoon Sunchai brought us to Tokyo Metropolitan Government; One of Tokyo’s landmarks with an observatory on the 45th floor.



Before going to Tokyo tower in early night, we dropped at Krispy Kream; the famous American Doughnut fanshine. Though a purchasing line was very long, we waited just a moment with service of free one piece of Doughtnut during in line.




Tokyo tower was excellent, I had just known from Sunchai that there was 2 features of Tokyo Tower illumination which were changed every 2 hours. Hence, we could take picture both of them. We had a dinner at Chinese Restaurant at Ueno.
