It's hard to believe we've been here for a day, and it seems as if we've been here for much longer. This could be due to our nearly 22 hour day on arrival and wacked sleep patterns. After
our fish-less walk yesterday morning, we headed out for some sightseeing at Ueno Park (home to a few temples and shrines), the Imperial Palace, and Akihabara.
Although there was much culture to digest in the first two destinations, the highlight of our day was Akihabara — the electric district and here's why: Since we were up so early, we got to Ueno park before the shrines and temples even opened, and we couldn't get up close and personal with the Imperial Palace. Apparently, the Emperor still claims it as his residence. Either that or a tour guide with a sense of humor was messing with our foreign minds.
If you're looking for a gadget, game, or high tech rice cooker, Akihabara is the place to be. Check out more pics from our day when you
