TOKYO- LAST DAY
We spent our last day shopping in Ginza. We had lunch at the 100% Chocolate Cafe and then continued shopping. I bought a great pair of galoshes and some stuff at Muji (of course). We bought some Kubuki tickets and saw the act we were hoping for- the comedic dance. It was really interesting! I hope when to see some Noh someday- I didn't make it this time around. The we head back to the hotel to freshen up for our big night out. We had dinner at this great little place where we sat on the floor in our own private little space closed off by bamboo shades. The place was called Daidaiya. Then we headed for the Park Hyatt (the hotel from Lost In Translation) for one incredibly expensive, but amazingly exciting cocktail. I orderd a Carnegie Hall (the bar is called the New York Bar). I have never seen a skyline like the one you see from the bar (located on the 52nd floor). It is the most impressive view I have ever seen- It really felt like another planet. I can't wait to go back and do it all again!
KAMAKURA-31 PICTURES
At Kamakura we visited several temples: Tokei-ji, Meihestsu In, Jochi-ji, and Daibutsu. I helped a catipilar cross the street and an old Japanese fellow assisted me in getting the catipilar off my umbrella- it was a great little moment! We ended the day at the beach after visiting the Grat Buddha at Daibutsu. We headed for Yokohoma to retrieve our luggage from the hotel and headed for Tokyo and our SWEET hotel!!!!
