Sunday August 30 - The Peninsula Tokyo

First meal of the day:




There's lots of these game shops in Tokyo. Stores where you try to win prizes playing a variety of games. I got these pics in before the store asked me to stop.





After our amazing experience with the Peninsula Hong Kong hotel, we decided to visit the Peninsula Tokyo hotel for afternoon tea. My cousin's pen pal came with us and it was his first experience with the hotel and afternoon tea. He was really giddy throughout...haha. Now I'm going to have to visit other Peninsula's throughout the world. There's one in New York.

Saturday August 29 - Ginza

We met up with my cousin's Japanese pen pal today who showed us around town.

Taking the train throughout the city:



Can anyone explain this sign found in the subway?



Lunch:











Strolled by the Ginza district. It's considered the high fashion center of the city and is filled with many upscale shops and restaurants. The street is closed off on the weekend for people to walk.







Checked out the Sony building:




Look mom, I'm on TV!



Afternoon snack and desert:





What's Japan without sushi? First Tokyo sushi dinner:
