[Throwback Thrusday] Japan Part IV: Tokyo (May 2014)

I had 36hours in Tokyo and carefully thought over what I wanted to do. Tokyo was of course, the place I spent almost 7 years of my life. But my life always circulated around work, shopping, and drinking. So this time I took a different approach and decided to enjoy the "views" of Tokyo that I loved and still do. I may be living in a totally different continent but the city still remains close to my heart.

Subway staff with their hats and their white gloves. These men and women keep the chaotic commute sane

Kanda Shrine

People's wishes

Fortunes tied up on branches

People like to line up for hours to get the best ramen but frankly, I like the chain store ramen too. Fast and good service, lots of variety on the menu, and cheap ($8!)

Love the mero subway signs for morality

Tsukiji Hongwanji temple.. back on the home grounds

Tsukiji sells a lot more things than fish... pickles galore!

Fish sold to the public

Simmered seaweed. Best with white rice

$15 watermelons, $10 peaches, $1 PER cherry...yes welcome to fruits of Japan

Izakaya heaven. Best part $3 beers :)

Love Italian food in Japan. Possibly better than Italy itself... (shh!)

Starters were heavenly

The look of utter happiness. It's lasagna time!!!

Stylish cafe

Thank you for meeting up people. Love you all

Cans and cans of coffee

Our family likes to have family meals at the airport..Food at Narita is quite good and reasonable.

Ochazuke goodness at Narita. My favorite place to eat there.
