Monday morning we went to the Tsukiji Fish Market. On the way in, we went through lots and lots of shops with other non-fish items.
Then it was all you can stand of squid, shark, tuna, octopus, etc.
It was cool to watch these guys work, scaling and filet-ing and stuff.
And of course, the waterfront. Erika cannot miss a chance to be at the waterfront.
This guy is cutting the huge eyeballs out of this tuna. They eat everything!
After the fish market, we walked over to the fancy shopping district the "ginza". Dean really liked this happy (maybe drunk) Buddha.
This is the Kabuki Theater.
Check out the guys washing the building!
This is the ginza.
We got there just in time to see the morning opening ceremony (they do this every day) of one of the big department stores. Our charmed life again.
Erika really wanted this outfit. It was $4800. We'll settle for a picture.
Then we walked to the Tokyo Imperial Palace. You can't go in, but the guard towers are pretty impressive. The fancy old castle was completely destroyed by US bombers during WW2.
Medical masks everywhere.
Dean and Lori admiring the Temple from the park across the street.
If you look carefully, you can see the reflection of the temple in this pond.
There's a really great ice cream place just around the corner from the temple.
We're getting good at figuring out which subway line we want and how much to pay to get there.
Never know what you'll find in Yoyogi Park.
Maybe some "takoyaki" (fried octopus).
More people admiring the cherry blossoms.
We didn't love the takoyaki so Dean gave it to a guy in this homeless encampment in the park. He was really stoked! It was still warm.
This is us walking back home. We were pretty worn out, and Lori fed us another great meal.
