Thursday – November 16
Woke up and thought we would grab something to eat at Ikspiari, but it was too early and nothing was open, so we opted to eat at McDonalds. Different type of menu and selections.
We went to Tokyo Imperial Palace to check it out. Found out that they were giving free tours, but it was limited. We stayed in line and secured a spot. When it was time to go in, we took the English tour around the grounds. It was a nice walk around the grounds, but nothing special. I was hoping that we would be able to tour the inside of the buildings but that was not the case.
We had to at least go and see a temple. Looked on Google maps and there was a temple just north of where we were that was 30 minutes by train. We visited Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa. It is a beautiful temple, and is one of the oldest temple in Tokyo. In front of the temple is a shopping area with multiple booths. Close to the entrance of the temple there were places where you can get your fortune and ritual
areas.
We walked around the area, looking at the shops, tried a local snack and took pictures. We couldn’t find a place to eat so we decided to go back to Ikspiari to find a place for dinner. We found a place that served Okonomiyaki, a cabbage fritter that I wanted to try. We thought we were in line for the restaurant, but ended up in line for a Ramen place. It was still good, so we didn’t mind.
