Japan Trip 23

What We Did - Tokyo Day 1

Stop 1

Shibuya Station (aka Shubuya Scramble Square) - home to the famous intersection of people scrambling in every direction.

• Shibuya Sky - observation deck overlooking the square - ¥2000

Stop 2

Daikanyama- Daikanyama: A Guide To Tokyo’s Little Brooklyn

Lunch - Maison ICHI Daikanyama
メゾン・イチ 代官山

Kyu Asakura House
Five minutes on foot from Daikanyama station, this beautifully preserved private residence that has been turned into a museum provides a peek into a traditional Japanese home, constructed in 1919. The former residence of the Asakura Family was built by its patriarch, Torajiro Asakura, and is a fantastic relic of Taisho era Japan that lasted from 1912 to 1926. Its wooden architecture and meticulously manicured Japanese gardens make it a true hidden gem and important cultural site.

Stop 3 - Rest at hotel

Stop 4

Dinner in Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho - Official Site

Zaraku Shibuya
個室居酒屋 座楽 渋谷駅前店

Walked around Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho on our way back to the hotel

Went sightseeing and shopping around Minato Mirai 21.

Sarah and Ian got eyeglasses at Owndays optometrist at Mark IS mall https://www.owndays.com/jp/ja/shops/681.

Tried to go to Megmi Suisan kaiten sushi on the 4th floor in Mark IS mall https://neo-emotion.jp/post_kaitensushi/mark-is/. Since the pandemic, kaiten sushi is a thing of the past, so there was no sushi on the conveyer belt. Ian thought the place smelled bad so we left. Went to Kamakura Pasta restaurant instead, also on the 4th floor. David took more bread than he was allowed from the bread bar and was reprimanded by the bread lady, who rang a bell every time she brought out fresh bread. https://www.saint-marc-hd.com/kamakura/menu/kamakura/ https://www.saint-marc-hd.com/kamakura/shop/370/

After lunch we went to the rooftop of Mark IS mall and saw the garden.

Patty went to doctor that evening at My Medical Clinic - Minato Mirai https://mymc.jp/minatomirai/. David and Patty went for prescription at Yokohama Station alone. Went back the next day because they gave her one too few antibiotic pills.

Ian, Kyoko and Sarah had dinner at Bonno Restaurant near Sakuragicho Station. http://www.bon-no.com/
