Tokyo: My First Trip, Day 1

An extra couple of days off meant that we had time to go to Tokyo for the weekend. We got an overnight bus down after work on Thursday night, and another one back on Sunday night. The bus was the cheapest way to get to Tokyo and back, but not the most comfortable!! Here are some photos of the first day we were there.

Our bus arriving before 7am meant it was the perfect time to go to Tsukiji Fish Market, and have sushi for breakfast.

John and I shared one bowl of mixed sushi, and this bowl of eel. It's currently my favourite sushi topping.

Fish eyes as big as my fist. Ewww.

Massive tuna.

Moat around the Emperor's Palace

We found an early flowering Cherry Tree :D

Eating Green Tea Ice Cream at Senso-ji Temple.

Senso-ji Temple...once we were done eating ice-cream we actually managed to explore!

I found the statue of Rat Boy! Read all about him on Rurousha's fantastic blog.
