Day 5
Another day in paradise, our last 'real' day/night. We started by going to the fish market, also known as Tsukiji. It's the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind (according to Wikipedia). I remembered going here two years ago and wanted Dennis to see it. Very interesting, nice smell...lots of blood and lots of fish of course. If you go in early, you might be able to get in to the tuna auction ;)! And have the freshest of the freshest sushi!
After that we made our way to the Metropolitan Government building for another view over Tokyo, free this time :). It was a bit foggy but still nice to see. Went to the Sushi Train after even though Dennis and I both don't really eat fish. I still liked going there and it brought back some more great memories from two years ago!
Walked a lot afterwards, pfew. We had a few hours until we needed to be in The Robot Restaurant so we decided to walk and take the tourist route (which meant just walking without really knowing where to go). We finally found it but still needed to wait another hour.
Around 5 pm, we were able to get our tickets and get into the 'waiting room', lots of glitter and lights and wow... Oh and live music. Had no idea what to expect, really. Read some reviews and saw some youtube video's but still. We were seated on the front row in the middle...
I can't really call it a Robot show or a restaurant, except for the Sushi box you can order and snacks you can get throughout the show. Lots of lights, lots of music, lasers and girls and dancing haha! Very entertaining and yeah, some robotic like figures! Anyway...in one of the intermissions, I got up to get a drink and two clowns appeared out of nowhere to do a bit of a dance show in between. I sat back down and all of a sudden it said: Check your seat number...last number 1, middle number 0, and I checked mine 101 and went like SHIT...first number 1! Hahaha started laughing, luckily I only won popcorn and didn't have to get up or anything :)! All in all it was a fun day/night!!
Day 6
It was our last morning at the hostel in Tokyo so we stayed in bed as long as we could, tried to close our bags (which was hard after all the souvenirs we bought haha) and went out for breakfast before leaving the hostel. Went back afterwards to check in for our flight(s) and to print our boarding passes.
We made a quick stop on the way to Tokyo Station in Akihabara where I went back to the sex-shop for a quick fist-hunt (don't ask, haha but it has something to do with a joke..although, the joke might be on me since I will be the one bringing back a rubber fist through customs...).
Got on the bus at Tokyo Station and enjoyed the last views of the city while being on the bus for about 90 minutes. Luckily it dropped us of in front of our hotel for our last night in Japan, Radisson Narita :). Oh happy day, a luxury hotel with a bath for me and an indoor swimming pool for Dennis and close to the airport (free airport shuttle) wooehoee! And a TV with not just Japanese channels but also English, although we did watch a few Japanese children shows, very entertaining. The Japanese kids are soooo cute!! Later that night, we had our beloved Gyoza for dinner (a last supper)! MJUM!
Day 7
What a great night, great bed, great everything!! Really enjoyed being in a hotel for the last night! We will fly back in a few hours.
11:15 am local time - Narita --> London Heathrow (12 hours 45 min)
17:45 pm local time - London Heathrow --> Amsterdam
Which means, we will go back in time and are able to tell the future is what Dennis keeps saying :P!
See you on the other side!
Over & out from Japan,
