Great Outdoor Day

We began the sightseeing right after our breakfast and heading down to Koshikawa Korakuen. One of Tokyo’s most beautiful garden according to our tour guide. When we arrived at the entrance, we could see the red leaves all over the garden and it was really beautiful as claimed.  

We took a nice stroll around the beautiful garden on a cold, windy but sunny morning. Simply great to take a walk with your loved ones after a hearty breakfast and taking a stroll in a lovely and naturally beautified garden… thumps up!  

The leaves were beautiful and man… the scenic was amazingly gorgeous! I couldn’t stop snapping my phone for pictures as it was too lovely NOT to snap. We walked through the garden like those old couples did and it was really nice to see them around.

It was indeed tiring to walk the garden as some steps were not too comfortable for walking and we headed down to the well-know Tsukiji Fish Market. We heard so much about this market and we are finally here before they moved out next year. At the entrance, we were welcomed by the smell of BBQ food and we found many BBQ food like oysters, clams, scallops and even squids. We did not waste any time and we started ordering the food to try as there were queues everywhere.  

As we made our way down the market, we saw many other foods like fresh sashimi, sushi restaurants and other fruits stalls. It was simply amazing and I couldn’t keep my eyes still. There were foods everywhere and they were nicely placed and organized. We tried out different types of food and they were reasonable and tasty. Thumps up indeed. 

We saw many other fresh seafood as we walked the market and we couldn’t help but compared their prices with ours back home and they were much cheaper!!! I seriously wished I could buy that whole salmon fish, Alaska crab and the scallops back to SIN… it’s unbelievably cheap!!!

Okay… after the fish market, we are back to the modern city… Ginza. This is one place which I came previously and bought nothing as this is a street filled with all the branded stuff… we went shopping but I only managed to get only my humble branded stuff… Fancl!!! I am happy to get my stuff as it was cheaper to buy in Japan than in Singapore.  

For the night before dinner, we headed to Akihabara to check out the streets that is famous for their gaming and electronics. All the shops on that streets sells anime which interests most of the teens or even young adults. We who not into anime, went combing the street snacks instead… hahahahaah… not into anime, we turned to food. 😊 We were enjoying the beef cube, cheese tart and the pancakes. They were super yummy especially on a cold evening. 

As dinner is not included for the tour tonight, we brought the family to the Chinese restaurant next to our hotel for dinner. We ordered some of the comfort food for the kids as they had been eating Japanese food for the past few days. They were happy to have their fried rice and soup in a foreign land and everyone enjoyed dinner though it wasn’t the best. 😊
