2013

Before luckily flying out we plan to visit the Tsukiji fish market which is closed due a typhoon that is unknowingly to us passing through the area

We spend the evening shopping while visiting Senso-ji the oldest temple in Tokyo and enjoying great views of the Tokyo Skytree

We spend the afternoon near the famous crossing in Shibuya window shopping and watching the unexpected Mikoshi parade pass by

We start the day with a visit to Shinjuku and climbing to the top of the Metropolitan Government Building for great views of the area

We spend the evening in Akihabara the electric city looking at electronics stores, maid cafes and anime stores

We spend a few hours just exploring the large and fascinating National Museum with varied exhibits and beautiful Japanese artwork spanning centuries

We start our time in Tokyo with a visit to the very popular Ueno Park exploring this large park while looking for the National Museum

We spend the reminder of the afternoon exploring Kencho-ji a Zen shrine and the beautiful park surrounding it before driving to Tokyo

One of the main Shinto shrines and a quite popular one in Kamakura is Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu built in 1063

Today we have planned to visit Mount Fuji but due to low visibility we just make a short hike and then return to explore something else
