Talkin' Terrific Tokyo


The Hato bus people offered to let us off in the ginza area upon the completion of our tour and we were quite curious to see the area, so though that it was a good idea. One of the places that caught my eye is the Kabukiza- the Kabuki theater. The building has classic written all over it and should be treasured as a building of tradition. Unfortunately, according the tour guide, the place will be torn down and a new modern building will be put in it's place. If that truly comes to pass, I say it is unfortunate.
That night we met up with another guy that had gone to school with Scott and Makoto and had a good laugh over more Izakaya food and a few beers.
Can't remember exactly where this spot is (shinjuku or Shibuya) but Makoto said that it is a famous place to go to meet up with your friends.
We concluded the day going to Akihabara and while we wanted to see some of the freaky people that hang out there- there were only a few people garbed up as popular Manga characters and the only Maids we saw worked for some service called Moe- where you pay to walk around with the maids. Well the picture didn't turn out so great but in the background you can see the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara- a building that we thought might be a stadium at first. It's big.
